Infrared spectroscopy has been used in adsorption studies of trimethyl phosphite (TMP) on the hydrogen (H) form of the A-type and 13X zeolites. Infrared spectra of H-zeolites, except H-KA, show that TMP reacts rapidly with silanol hydroxyls on their surfaces and gives rise to form product molecules such as SiOCH3 and liquid dimethyl phosphite. The unaccomplished adsorption on the HKA zeolite ha...

In this work, we have modified a synthesized Y-type zeolite (Si/Al = 2.5), with three different amines to investigate of the influence of adsorbent’s surface modification on CO2 selectivity over CH4. The pristine and amine-functionalized NaY zeolites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and N2 adsorption. The resu...

ammonia in air can be hazardous to human and animal life and should be removed from the environment. recently the removal of environmental pollutants such as ammonia by means of natural and modified zeolites has attracted a lot of attention and interests. in this study the capability of three iranian natural zeolites (clinoptilolite) in point of view of removal of ammonia from air was investiga...

objective(s): in this research, zeolite x and zeolite y were used as vehicle to prepare intestine targeted oral delivery systems of indomethacin and ibuprofen. materials and methods: a soaking procedure was implemented to encapsulate indomethacin or ibuprofen within synthetic zeolites. gravimetric methods and ir spectra of prepared formulations were used to assess drug loading efficiencies into...

zeolite zsm-5 presents a great source of interest in catalysis because of its shape selective properties. the absence of a relationship between the template size and shape of the structure generated during the synthesis of zeolites is illustrated by the case of zsm-5. in this study, we have investigated the role of ethanol, methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (mtpbr) and cetyltrimethylammonium b...

We simulate constrained dynamics of two species transport across single-file molecular-sized pores such as biomembrane channels and zeolites. We focus on diffusional pumping where one type of particle uses its entropy of mixing to drive another along its chemical potential gradient. Quantitative analyses of rates and efficiencies of transport are plotted as functions of transmembrane potential,...

The thermal conductivities of quartz and the siliceous zeolites sodalite, faujasite and zeolite-A have been calculated using molecular dynamics simulations. The predicted thermal conductivities range over one order of magnitude at room temperature, and the quartz values are in reasonable agreement with the available experimental data. Evidence of phonon scattering is found by considering the la...

We explore recent efforts to model the dynamics of sorbed molecules in zeolites with either atomistic methods or lattice models. We discuss the assumptions underlying modern atomistic and lattice approaches, and detail the techniques and applications of modeling both rapid dynamics and activated diffusion. We summarize the major findings discovered over the last several years, and enumerate fut...
