Zeolites are crystalline hydrated tektoalumosilicates consisting of a three-dimensional framework of SiO4 4and AlO4 5tetrahedra linked through shared oxygen atoms. The heulandite group of zeolites including clinoptilolite are the most abundant zeolites in nature 1, 2 . Clinoptilolite is used in a wide range of industrial and agricultural applications, particularly in animal nutrition. Dietary i...

A number of aspects of the pre-nucleation zeolite synthesis solution are considered. Various environmental and structural effects on the Si NMR chemical shift of silicon nuclei are investigated, in order to ascertain the necessary computational model for a systematic study of oligomeric silicate species identified or postulated to be present during this phase of zeolite crystal growth. It is de...

This work presents for the first time a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-coupled resonant gas sensor whose sensitivity shows an improvement up to 78 times over bare silicon resonant sensors with identical dimensions. ZIFs are among the highest surface area material used for resonant-based sensing. We utilize high surface area-to-volume ratios of ZIFs to demonstrate how a microresonator coup...

A series of zeolitic alumino- and gallogermanate compounds, |M(II)(en)(3)|[M(III)(2)Ge(4)O(12)] (M(II) = Ni, Co, Zn; M(III) = Al, Ga; en = ethylenediamine), has been synthesized using in situ formed [M(II)(en)(3)](2+) cations as the structure-directing agents. These zeolitic compounds exhibit the same JST framework topology which is built exclusively of 3-rings. Their structures were determined...

Membrane technology for water treatment is growing due to the increased demand clean and stringent standard quality. Nanofiltration (NF) widely used in membranes lower energy consumption higher flux rates. The application was not limited only treatment, yet NF showed excellent potential solvent nanofiltration application. utilization of MOF materials preparation produce composite has attracted ...

Emission of N2O from mobile and off-road engine is now being currently regulated because of its high impact compared to that of CO2, thereby implying that N2O formation from the exhaust gas after-treatment system should be suppressed. Selective catalytic reduction using vanadium supported TiO2 catalyst in mobile and off-road engine has been considered to be major source for N2O emission in the ...

Abstract Nanoscale zero-valent iron-doped carbonized zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (nZVI/CZIF-8) was prepared by carbonation of ferric nitrate and ZIF-8 at 800 °C used as an adsorbent to remove methylene blue (MB) from water. The synthesized nZVI/CZIF-8 has a specific surface area 806.9 m2/g, pore volume 0.86 cm 3 /g nZVI content 1.35%, respectively. Both the CZIF-8 have identical functional...

The separation of small molecule gases by membrane technologies can help performance enhancement and process intensification for emerging advanced fossil energy systems with CO2 capture capacity. This paper reports the demonstration of controlled modification of zeolitic channel size for the MFI-type zeolite membranes to enhance the separation of small molecule gases such as O2 and N2. Pure-sil...
