Zeolite FAU type-Y is one of the most studied framework of all zeolites, and has been used as catalysts for number of reactions in the refinery and petrochemical industry. In this research, nanocrystalline zeolite Y was synthesized by hydrothermal method. The crystal size of zeolite Y is influenced by temperature, aging time, alkalinity, and water content. The synthesized zeolite NaY is identif...

We show that a Gaussian-shaped pulse can be used to excite selected 1H signals in hydroxyapatite, monetite and H-Y zeolite loaded with trimethylphosphine oxide (TMPO). This selective excitation method can be incorporated into Lee-Goldburg (LG) cross-polarization to obtain useful spectral editing opportunity. This new strategy has been applied to identify the Brønsted and the Lewis acid sites in...

Stabilization techniques for low-valent organometallic species in acidic forms of large-pore zeolite Y are reported. The intrazeolite surface chemistry and thermal stability of MesSnCo(CO)4 in HY zeolites (I&NaloA155Si1370384 and H16Na39A155Sil370384) were studied with X-ray absorption spectroscopy (Sn, Co edge EXAFS) and in-sifu FTIR/TPD-MS techniques. The acidic zeolite Y host offers a chemic...

Characteristics and sonocatalytic activity of zeolite Y catalysts loaded with TiO2 using impregnation and ion exchange methods for the degradation of amaranth dye were investigated. The Ion-exchange method was used to encapsulate the TiO2 into the internal pores of the zeolite while the incorporation of TiO2 mostly on the external surface of zeolite was carried out using the impregnation method...

We investigated the reaction mechanism of a metal-unloaded zeolite-plasma hybrid system for decomposition of toluene at room temperature. Short-lived radicals and fast electrons did not contribute substantially to the reaction mechanism of toluene decomposition in the zeolite-plasma hybrid system. The main factor enhancing the reaction mechanism was gas-phase O3 directly reacting with toluene a...

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...

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...

An electron-rich zinc-modified zeolite Y material shows substantial activity for the decomposition of CO(2) to carbon with the release of O(2) at about 300 °C. It is elucidated that electrons delocalized in the vicinity of zinc cations in the zeolite material play an essential role in the decomposition reaction.

Preparative high pressure liquid chromatography on US-Y zeolite shape-selective molecular sieve was studied for carbon isotopic fractionation e€ects. We tested a standard mixture [17b, 21b(H)-hopane, 5a-cholestane] and complex natural hydrocarbon mixtures dominated by tetraand pentacyclic triterpenoids extracted from Oxford Clay shales. We con®rmed that steroids and hopanoids were separated on ...

Measurement by impedance spectroscopy of the changes in intrazeolitic cation motion of pressed pellets of zeolite particles upon adsorption of dimethylmethylphosphonate (DMMP) provides a strategy for sensing DMMP, a commonly used simulant for highly toxic organophosphate nerve agents. In this work, two strategies for improving the impedance spectroscopy based sensing of DMMP on zeolites were in...
