The synthesis of calcium silicate supported zeolite membrane was carried out by second growth method. The chemical nature of the functionalizing agent on the formation of homogenous zeolite membrane was evaluated. One monomer and two cationic polymers were used: 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS), polyethylenimine (PEI) and polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDDA). The support was subjected ...

Adoption of new management techniques that improve soil water storage and soil N plant availability yet limit N leaching may help improve environmental quality. A benchtop study was conducted to determine the influence of a single urea fertilizer rate (224 kg N ha) applied with band or fully mixed zeolite (clinoptilolite) application rates (up to 90 Mg ha) on NH4-N and NO3-N concentrations in a...

Zeolite 4A, synthetic silicate, has been shown to exhibit diverse biological activities such as anti-cancer and anti-oxidant activity. In the present study, we report that the zeolite 4A may improve skin-whitening. We found that zeolite 4A inhibited melanin production in a dose-dependent manner, which has not cytotoxicity. Zeolite 4A also inhibited alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MS...

Temperature-dependent zeolite synthesis has revealed a unique surface morphology, surface area and pore size which influence the immobilization of urease on gold electrode supports for biosensor fabrication. XRD characterization has identified zeolite X (Na) at all crystallization temperatures tested. However, N₂ adsorption and desorption results showed a pore size and pore volume of zeolite X ...

ackground: knowing the human platelet antigens (hpa) and genes frequency in different populations is important not only for population studies but also for clinical transfusion practice. hpa genes frequency in iran is not evaluated, so we investigated the hpa-2, hpa-3, and hpa-5 frequency and their polymorphism. materials and methods: dna from 120 iranians (99 iranian blood donors and 21 patien...

A novel confined-space synthesis method has been developed to synthesize zeolite nanocrystals. Colloidal silica nanoparticles serving as the silica source as well as the hard template were embedded in the mesoporous carbon via in situ polymerization of furfuryl alcohol (FA) in the presence of tri-block copolymer (Pluronic P123), and then reacted with an alkaline aqueous solution (Na2O-Al2O3-H2O...

This study examines the performance of a new adsorbent, hexagonal nanostructured zeolite particles (HNZP) for acetone adsorption and compares the results with that of commercial mobil synthetic zeolite-5 (ZSM-5) type zeolite. The HNZP is a pure siliceous adsorbent with different values of pore diameter and surface area being adjustable by the manufacturing condition. The results indicate that a...
