Zeolites due to their structures can be used as molecular sieves for purification of materials and solutions. Zeolites with PHI and SOD structure are so common and applicable for this purpose. Hydroxy sodalite and phillipsite are the more abundant members of zeolites which display good selectivity for very small molecules and some ions such as Sr, Pb, Zn, Cu and Rb. There is not any pure natura...

In this work, perlite was used as a low-cost source of Si and Al in the synthesis of sodalite zeolite using hydrothermal synthesis method. Cu2O nanoparticles were coated on a bed of sodalite zeolite and used as an adsorbent for removal of diazinon from aqueous solutions. To analyze the process, a significant variable .i.e. removal efficiency (%) of diazinon and three dependent parameters as the...

This study investigated the one-pot hydrothermal synthesis of mixed-phase ion-exchangers from waste amber container glass and three different aluminium sources (Si/Al = 2) in 4.5 M NaOH(aq) at 100 °C. Reaction products were characterised by X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 27Al 29Si magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy scanning electro...

in this study the catalytic dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene was investigated in a simulated tubular sodalite membrane reactor. the high quality microporous sodalite membrane was synthesized by direct hydrothermal method and characterized by single gas permeation measurements. the performance of the prepared membrane showed high potential for application in a dehydrogenation membrane ...

Class F Fly ash-based geopolymers are prone to various high-temperature phenomena, such as cracking, spalling, and thermal shrinkage. Here we study the effect of enriching fly ash with synthetic sodalite phase in order enhance properties formed geopolymer. The morphological changes, compositional alterations porosity, gel behaviour, on deformation material after exposure up 1000 °C investigated...

X-ray powder methods have been used to study the room-temperature structures of the synthetic sodalites: Li8(AI6Si6024)CI2, KT.6Nao.4(A16Si6Oz4)CI2, and Nas(A16Si6024)I ~. Natural sodalite was also studied and the atomic coordinates show satisfactory agreement with those determined from the single-crystal data of L6ns and Schulz (1967). The LiC1and KCIas well as the NaCl-sodalites refined in th...

A genetic algorithm has been used to generate crystal framework structures, including that of sodalite and chabazite, from the knowledge of only the unit cell dimensions, constituent elements and by defining exclusion zones–regions within the unit cell where the constituent elements are forbidden, as opposed to being discouraged. We present details of a direct approach to restricting the possib...

We have investigated various silica zeolites using density functional theory with periodic supercells, plane waves, and pseudopotentials. These zeolitic phases include silica sodalite, chabazite, mordenite, silica LTA, and silicalite. Atom-level geometries, elastic properties, and cohesive energies are presented. Although the zeolites exhibit a wide range of Si-O-Si angles and densities, the co...
