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...

Zeolite Phi is synthesized by two methods reported previously. Results from X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy suggest that t h e materials are physical mixtures of chabazite and offretite; one sample has a small amount of phillipsite. The X-ray powder diffraction data from these samples, and those reported previously, are indexed and their unit-cell parameters compare we...

Zeolite micropattern created from structurally similar hydrophobic Sil-1 and hydrophilic ZSM-5 zeolites, and tested for the immobilization of fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugate bovine serum albumin (BSA-FITC), biotin conjugate bovine serum albumin (Biotin-BSA), Hochest 33342 and rhodamine conjugate αbungatoxin, were preferentially deposited onto hydrophobic ZSM-5 patterns regardless of the pa...

Development of highly active heterogeneous catalysts is an effective strategy for modern organic synthesis chemistry. In this work, acidic mesoporous zeolite ZSM-5 (HZSM-5-M), acidic-free mesoporous zeolite TS-1 (TS-1-M), and basic ETS-10 zeolite supported metal Cu catalysts were prepared to investigate their catalytic performances in the hydroxysulfurization of styrenes with diaryl disulfides....

Irradiation of biphenyl encapsulated in the cavities of a NaZSM-5 zeolite framework has been reported to result in the formation of an extremely long-lived radical cation. Here, we show that such zeolite encapsulated radical cations can act as irreversible one-electron oxidants for simple alkenes and dienes, in a solid-state analogue to solution-phase cosensitization. Compared to the well-known...

In the present paper, nanosized TiO2 supported by zeolite was used in the ozonation of Songhua River as catalyst. The catalytic activity of TiO2/Zeolite for ozonation was testified by nitrobenzene removal, which is one kind of representatively resistant organic contaminant. And the removal of some organic and inorganic compounds existing in the Songhua River by TiO2/Zeolite catalyzed ozonation ...

Owing to the recent progress in the area of hardware and software of the pulsed field gradient NMR technique, molecular transport in real-life zeolite systems, such as zeolite beds and particles of formulated fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts, can be investigated in detail. These studies have revealed a number of important features of molecular transport in zeolites, which are reviewed i...

Optimizing the number, distribution, and accessibility of Brønsted acid sites in zeolite-based catalysts is of a paramount importance to further improve their catalytic performance. However, it remains challenging to measure real-time changes in reactivity of single zeolite catalyst particles by ensemble-averaging characterization methods. In this work, a detailed 3D single molecule, single tur...

ABSTRACT- As the world's population has grown and become more urban and affluent, waste production has raised drastically. Wastewater reuse has been identified as a way to alleviate water scarcity and improve crop productivity and environmental sustainability. To address the issue, a soil column experiment was carried out in a 3 × 3 factorial randomized block design including three treatments o...
