This study evaluated the applicability of natural zeolite for the removal of the NH-forms in the enzyme-mediated calcite precipitation technique. The natural zeolite of mordenite was added to prepared grouting solutions composed of urea and urease and mixed thoroughly using a rotation table for the mixing times of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 h. Then, the concentrations of evolving NH-forms in the solutio...

Visualizing proton-transfer processes at the nanoscale is essential for understanding the reactivity of zeolite-based catalyst materials. In this work, the Brønsted-acid-catalyzed oligomerization of styrene derivatives was used for the first time as a single molecule probe reaction to study the reactivity of individual zeolite H-ZSM-5 crystals in different zeolite framework, reactant and solven...

We have conducted large-scale screening of zeolite materials for CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 membrane separation applications using the free energy landscape of the guest molecules inside these porous materials. We show how advanced molecular simulations can be integrated with the design of a simple separation process to arrive at a metric to rank performance of over 87,000 different zeolite structures,...

The catalytic properties of microporous zeolite catalysts were evaluated in the synthesis of decyl glucoside from glucose with 1-decanol by direct glucosidation. The effects of the acidic properties and pore structure of the zeolite catalysts on the glucose conversions and decyl glucoside yields were investigated. The conversions of glucose on the H+ ion-exchanged FAU, MFI, and BEA zeolite cata...

1. Introduction Zeolites have gained an irreplaceable role as catalysts in the refining industry. With a production capacity of 625·10 6 t in 2004, the fluid catalytic cracking process (FCC) represents the second most important heterogeneously catalyzed process [1]. As an active component, the catalyst of this process contains zeolite H-Y. Since a high-molecular feed is used, a detailed knowled...

The decontamination reactions of O,S-diethyl methyl phosphonothiolate, as an agricultural organophosphorous pesticide onto 20 wt% loaded manganese dioxide nanoparticles-silver-Y zeolite as a nanocomposite catalyst in different solvents, were evaluated and monitored by means of gas chromatography–flame ionization detector and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Prior to the reaction, the catal...

Zeolite Rho is able to successfully separate CO(2) from CH(4) with the highest selectivity ever observed on the basis of pore diameter and surface polarity. The adsorption of CO(2) provokes structural changes in the zeolite Rho.

in this research, kiwifruits (hayward) were selected in two mass ranges (large and small). they were placed in one-liter glass bottles in the vicinity of the polyethylene sachets containing potassium permanganate nano-zeolite (0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 g) and were stored in a germinator (5°c temperature and 30% relative humidity). then, the physicochemical properties of the fruits (soluble solid cont...

In this paper, the utilisation of zeolites synthesised from fly ash (FA) and related co-disposal filtrates as low-cost adsorbent material were investigated. When raw FA and co-disposal filtrates were subjected to alkaline hydrothermal zeolite synthesis, the zeolites faujasite, sodalite and zeolite A were formed. The synthesised zeolites were explored to establish its ability to remove lead and ...
