m-Xylene transformation has been studied on as-prepared H-Y and a series of dealuminated Y zeolite catalysts. The conversion of m-xylene was found to increase initially with acidity, however, decreases subsequently. It has been proposed that the high concentration of acid sites in the H-Y catalyst increases paring reaction, in addition to the well-known isomerization and disproportionation path...

Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is a major process in oil refineries to produce gasoline and base chemicals from crude oil fractions. The spatial distribution and acidity of zeolite aggregates embedded within the 50-150 μm-sized FCC spheres heavily influence their catalytic performance. Single-molecule fluorescence-based imaging methods, namely nanometer accuracy by stochastic chemical reactions...

the purpose of this study is comparison of manganese absorption capacity by natural and modified zeolite. for this purpose used by from semnan mines zeolite with mean particle diameter of 360 micrometer. for modified zeolite, 5 g amount of natural zeolite with 100 ml of 1 m sodium chloride solution mixed and maintained at 24 hours in room temperature. for measure specific surface of absorbents,...

In a previous work we developed a volume-memory liquid that can expand or shrink significantly as the temperature varies. The working mechanism is based on the thermally induced infiltration and defiltration of an electrolyte solution in the nanopores. In the current study, we investigate the influence of electrolyte concentration on the infiltration behavior, as well as its dependence on tempe...

Zeolite nanoblock (ZNB), prepared by hydrochloric acid decomposition of Na-A type zeolite, works as a highly efficient hydrogen-permeable membrane. Si and Al K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra were measured for ZNB to clarify the local structures. The Si K-edge XANES spectrum is similar to that of the Na-A type zeolite, but the Al K-edge XANES spectrum is interpreted as...

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of natural zeolite (commercial preparation with 80% of clinoptilolite) on counts of different physiological groups of bacteria i.e. sulfide-producing, faecal and total coliform, mesophilic aerobic and anaerobic, and thermophilic bacteria in pig slurry. Zeolite was spread daily directly over partially slatted floor in a dose of 0.4 kg/1 m 2 durin...

—A machine learning approach is applied to classify zeolite crystals according to their framework type. The Zeolite-Structure-Predictor is introduced based on the Random Forest algorithm. Zeolites structural data from the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) are used to train the model. The ZSP uses sixteen attributes including topological descriptors obtained with statistical geometry a...

Ultrathin MFI-zeolite nanosheets can be packed on porous supports to create molecular sieve membranes. The nanosheets on porous support reduce morphological damage seen in regular MFIzeolite crystals [1]. MFI-zeolite belongs to pentasil family of zeolites where the periodic building unit (PerBU) is composed of 12 interconnected SiO4 tetrahedral (T12) units of 41m2 (D2d) symmetry [2]. Rotation o...

Dye-exchanged Y zeolite is shown to be an effective medium to control the stereoselectivity in the photooxygenation of chiral oxazolidinone-functionalized Z/E-1 enecarbamates. An enantioselectivity (ee) as high as 80% was observed in the methyldesoxybenzoin (MDB) product, obtained in the methylene-blue-exchanged NaY zeolite at room temperature. The efficacy of the asymmetric induction in the MD...
