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...

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...
