In this research, the magnetic Fe3O4/zeolite NaA nanocomposite (Fe3O4/ZA), Fe3O4 nanoparticles, and zeolite have been synthesized by facile hydrothermal methods for adsorption removal of methylene blue from aqueous solution. The as-synthesized Fe3O4/ZA was characterized X-ray diffraction (XRD), MicroRaman analysis, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SE...

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 ...

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...

Bone healing is still a great challenge in orthopedic surgery and clinical practice. There is a dearth of research investigating the effect of Zeolite/Collagen (ZC) nanocomposite on bone regeneration. In the present study, a critical segmental defect of the rabbit femur was repaired using defects in femurs repaired by ZC nanocomposite, and the effects were examined histologically. In total, 45 ...

Growth, nutrient balance, plasma ammonia levels and urinary p-cresol excretion were evaluated in growing pigs fed diets containing various levels of zeolite A or clinoptilolite. In one growth trial, crossbred pigs averaging 25 kg initial body weight were assigned to diets containing no zeolite, .3% zeolite A or .5% clinoptilolite for a 6-wk growing phase trial. Average daily gain (ADG), average...

A simple and versatile approach has been developed to synthesize different carbon/zeolite T functional membrane materials. The precursors of the membrane are composed of polyimide matrix and dispersed zeolite T particles. Membranes prepared by pyrolysis at 973 K showed excellent gas (H2, CO2, O2, N2, CH4) permeability and selectivity and the gas selectivity (O2/N2, CO2/CH4) of the functional me...
