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...

The pressure swing adsorption (PSA) system is widely applied to separate and purify hydrogen from gaseous mixtures. extended Langmuir equation fitted the Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm has been used predict isothermal of methane on zeolite 5A adsorbent bed. A six-step two-bed PSA model for purification developed validated by comparing its simulation results with other works. effects pressure, P/F...

Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology is used in various applications. PSA a cost-effective process with the ability to produce high-purity bio-hydrogen (99.99%) high recovery rates. In this article, for production of proposed; it uses two columns packed type 5A zeolite, and has four-step configuration (adsorption, depressurization, purge, repressurization) regeneration beds. The aim work ...

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...

Novel nanocomposites consisting of a water-soluble acrylamide-based photopolymer and colloidal zeolite nanoparticles of zeolite Beta and zeolite A were prepared. The interactions between the photopolymer components and zeolite nanoparticles in the photopolymerizable nanocomposites were characterized for the first time by (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance and visible spectroscopy. It was found th...

UNLABELLED The influence of natural zeolite on biogenic amines (BAs) and ammonia (AMN) production by eight common gram negative and positive foodborne pathogens (FBP) were investigated in histidine decarboxylase broth (HDB). Presence of 1% zeolite in the HDB resulted in significantly higher AMN production. Histamine (HIS) production by gram positive bacteria was as low as 0.5 mg/L, whereas Esch...

This article reported a novel low-temperature process for aromatics production through lignin depolymerization catalyzed by 0.1 wt% Pd-zeolite Y catalyst prepared by a facile method. Under the same reactive condition, the as-prepared Pd-zeolite Y catalysts exhibited much higher catalytic efficiency than zeolite Y or commercial Pd/Al2O3–zeolite composites. The selectivity of the Pd-zeolite Y tow...

Iron incorporated zeolites were prepared from Na-A type zeolite synthesized from melting slag and FeCl3 solution and applied as adsorbents for NH3 and H2S gases. Iron incorporated zeolite was pelletized, calcined and used for gas adsorption experiment. XRD analyses of the zeolite revealed that Fe3þ concentration of solution more than 90mM could destruct the zeolite network structure. It was obs...

A fiber optic intrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric (IFPI) chemical sensor was developed by fine-polishing a thin layer of polycrystalline nanoporous MFI zeolite synthesized on the cleaved endface of a single mode fiber. The sensor operated by monitoring the optical thickness changes of the zeolite thin film caused by the adsorption of organic molecules into the zeolite channels. The optical th...

The permeability of reverse osmosis membranes is limited by the diffusive transport of water across a non-porous polyamide active layer. Alternatively, fabricating a microporous active layer capable of rejecting salt ions while allowing for water transport would increase the permeability while maintaining high salt rejection. Zeolites provide a model porous network which is capable of performin...
