Nitrogen in the Ammonia form can have deleterious effects in water resources. Ion Exchange by zeolite and biological Nitrification processes are two proposed methods for removing Nitrogen compounds from wastewater and effluents. The main objective of this research was to investigate the efficiency of nitrifying bacteria for regenerating Clinoptilolite zeolite. In this research, the Semnan Clino...

Fast development of the coalbed natural gas (CBNG) industry in many parts of the western U.S. has resulted in the co-production of potentially salinesodic waters, hereafter referred to as CBNG water. Management of CBNG water is a major environmental challenge because of its quantity and quality. In this study, the potential utilization of calcium (Ca)-rich natural zeolites were examined for rem...

Membranes with zeolites are encouraging for performing blood dialysis because can eliminate uremic toxins through molecular sieving. Although the addition of various pore-gen and adsorbent in membrane certainly impact production along creatinine adsorption, however, it is not directed which zeolite leads to better performance. The research was aimed at reducing adsorption protein-bound by using...

According to the results of EPR spectroscopy associates of the complex molecules [Cu(ox)2] are formed on the external surface of the carrier by the reaction of 8-quinolinol (Hox) with highly mobile Cu(II) aqua complexes exchanged in the supercavities of fully hydrated Y zeolite. The reaction of Hox with Cu(II) exchanged zeolite Y, dehydrated in vacuo at 20 °C, 200 °C, and 400 °C, leads to segre...

Synthesis of nanoparticles of TiO2, Pt, CdS, and their binary and ternary combinations were made on zeolite Y starting frommolecular precursors that are ion exchanged into the zeolite.Nanoclusters ofTiO2 in the anatase formwere formed from titanyl ions at low loadings of Ti (1 per 2.5 supercages). CdS (hexagonal form) andmetallic Pt were formed fromCd2þ and Pt(NH3)4 2þ ion exchanged into the ze...

Two flame retarded plastics have been pyrolysed in the presence of two Zeolite catalysts to remove the organobromine compounds from the derived pyrolysis oil. The flame retarded plastics were, acrylonitrile – butadiene – styrene (ABS) that was flame retarded with tetrabromobisphenol A and high-impact-polystyrene (HIPS) that was flame retarded with decabromodiphenyl ether. The two catalysts inve...
