A continuous microwave equipment (CME) has been successfully developed in order to achieve an extremely rapid and mass production for ZSM-5 and NaY zeolite. A precursor mixture for synthesis of ZSM-5 was prepared by mixing aluminosilicate gel with a nanoseed solution obtained under microwave irradiation, and pumped continuously into the CME. Duration time in the CME was 5 min to accomplish the ...

The absorption of carbon monoxide with H-ZSM-5 and metal-substituted Li-ZSM-5 zeolites has been investigated by Ž . using both cluster and embedded cluster approaches at the HFr6–31G d,p level of theory. For the H-ZSM-5 zeolite, the binding energy of CO on a 3T quantum cluster is predicted to be 2.25 kcalrmol for the C-bound complex. The O-bound complex was found to be less stable by about 0.84...

Adsorption of carbonmonoxide on the silver ion-exchanged Ag-ZSM-5 zeolite has been studied using both quantum cluster and embedded cluster at the models B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory. The Ag...Oz distance in Ag-ZSM-5 complexes is predicted to be 2.26 Å for the quantum cluster and 2.32 Å for the embedded cluster, the latter is in agreement with the experimental value of 2.30 + 0.03 Å. The opt...

Hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite is hydrothermally synthesized in a single step with cetyltrimethylammonium (CTA) hydroxide acting as mesoporogen and structure-directing agent. Essential to this synthesis is the replacement of NaOH with KOH. An in-depth solid-state NMR study reveals that, after early electrostatic interaction between condensed silica and the head group of CTA, ZSM-5 crystallizes arou...

Formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR) was studied using different platinum-zeolites hybrid catalysts. The catalysts were prepared by addition of two forms the ZSM-5 zeolite (ZSM-5-H+ and ZSM-5-NH4+) to an ink containing Vulcan carbon support Pt nanoparticles (NPs). TEM images demonstrate a proper mixture components in good dispersion NPs mainly over carbon. Both zeolites (ZSM-5-NH4+ ZSM-5-H+) a...

Mesoporous ZSM-5 prepared by alkaline treatment was demonstrated as an efficient catalyst for the cellulose hydrolysis in ionic liquid (IL), affording a high yield of reducing sugar. It was demonstrated that mesoporous ZSM-5 (SiO₂/Al₂O₃ = 38) had 76.2% cellulose conversion and 49.6% yield of total reducing sugar (TRS). In comparison, the conventional ZSM-5 had a mere 41.3% cellulose conversion ...

Large-scale density functional theory calculations (DFT) found various types of binding of an unsaturated hydrocarbon (C2H2 and C2H4) to a ZSM-5 zeolite extraframework copper cation. We employed the DFT calculations based on the B3LYP functional to obtain local minima of an unsaturated hydrocarbon adsorbed on one or two copper cations embedded inside ZSM-5, and then compared their stabilization...

We report the one-step synthesis of a highly active hierarchical Fe/ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst with a strongly improved lifetime in the selective hydroxylation of benzene to phenol with nitrous oxide; compared to the best Fe/ZSM-5 catalyst, the turnover number after 24 h on stream is almost four times higher.
