The unique properties of microporous zeolites, including ion-exchange properties, adsorption, molecular sieving, catalysis, conductivity have been exploited in improving the performance of gas sensors. Zeolites have been employed as physical and chemical filters to improve the sensitivity and selectivity of gas sensors. In addition, direct interaction of gas molecules with the extraframework ca...

polycrystalline mfi zeolite membranes were prepared on α-alumina tubular support by hydrothermal treatments at 413 k. the synthesized zeolite membranes were characterized by xrd, sem and single gas permeation. the influence of hydrothermal treatment steps and the calcination time on the zeolite layer formation were investigated. mfi zeolite membrane prepared by four subsequent hydrothermal trea...

background: there are great resources of natural zeolite in iran. zeolite, an inorganic ion-exchanger, may be used as a suitable technical-economical solution for water treatment in many regions of iran. in this study, the characterization of natural zeolite natrolite and the feasibility of removing hardness, cations, and anions were investigated. methods: first, zeolite composition and type we...

Khorvash, M., Colombatto, D., Beauchemin, K. A., Ghorbani, G. R. and Samei, A. 2006. Use of absorbants and inoculants to enhance the quality of corn silage. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 86: 97–107. This study examined whether inoculants and various absorbent materials could be used during ensiling to reduce effluent losses and improve nutritive value of corn silage. Two corn forages were harvested: conve...

Zeolites are crystalline inorganic porous materials formed by TO4 tetrahedra (T=Si, Al, P, etc.) with ordered microporous structures. As a result of their tunable acidities and framework structures, zeolites have been used widely in catalysis and molecular adsorption/separation as well as several other emerging applications. However, the pore size of a zeolite is usually smaller than 2 nm, whic...

BACKGROUND/AIM Zeolites are the hydratised alumosilicates of alcali and earthalcali cations, which have a long three-dimensional crystal structure. Preparations on the basis of zeolites are used for adsorption of organic and nonorganic toxic substances and they, also, find more and more use in veterinary and human medicine and pharmacy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibilities of...

Combinations of TiO2 photocatalysts and various adsorbents have been widely studied for the adsorption and photocatalytic decomposition of gaseous pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Herein, a TiO2-zeolite-porous glass composite was prepared using melt-quenching and partial sintering, hydrothermal treatment, and drop coating for preparation of the porous glass support and X-ze...

Abstraet--Zeolites having the structures of phillipsite, merlinoite, and gobbinsite were synthesized from clear solutions at 80~ in the system Na20-K20-Ai203-SiO2-H20 and their morphologies, cell parameters, and compositions determined. At 3.5 M silica concentration, the formation of merlinoite (synthetic zeolite W) is favored over the formation of phillipsite (synthetic zeolite ZK-19) by solut...
