The effect of natural and modified zeolites on the anaerobic degradation of acetate and methanol was evaluated by the determination of specific methane productivity (SMP) in batch minidigesters of 50 mL at doses of 0.01, 0.05 and 0.1 g of zeolite/g of VSS. The effects of the different zeolite concentrations were determined by the results of the SMP. A kinetic characterization with data of accum...

Background: There are great resources of natural zeolite in Iran. Zeolite, an inorganic ion-exchanger, may be used as a suitable technical-economical solution for water treatment in many regions of Iran. In this study, the characterization of natural zeolite natrolite and the feasibility of removing hardness, cations, and anions were investigated. Methods: First, zeolite composition and type we...

The uptake of 137-Cs and 90-Sr on to synthetic zeolite A has been studied. The use of a combined barium exchange followed by a relatively mild heat treatment has been shown to fix the isotopes within a collapsed zeolite structure. Leaching experiments using deionized and simulated sea and pond waters were carried out on zeolite compacts and zeolite/cement composites. They demonstrated the effec...

Nanosized zeolite crystals (nanozeolites) with narrow particlesize distributions and sizes less than 100 nm have received much attention because of their great potential applications in catalysis and adsorption. The decrease in the crystal sizes results in high external surface areas, reduced diffusion path lengths, and more exposed active sites. For example, small Y-type zeolite crystals have ...

the present study was carried out to evaluate the effects of dietary nano-structured zeolite (nz) levels on reduction of aflatoxin b1 (afb1) in the diet of rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) for 56 days. for this purpose, 270 fish (23 ± 3.7 g) were randomly distributed into 6 groups including c (control), nz0.5 (basic ration + 0.5 % nano-structure zeolite), nz1 (basic ration + 1 % nano-structu...

The Kirkendall effect was utilized to synthesize mesoporous silicalite-1 zeolite nanocrystals without the involvement of additional templates. The mesopore size as well as the particle size can be easily controlled by nanoscale Kirkendall growth via significantly reducing the amount of water or tetrapropylammonium hydroxide, which were used in large quantities in conventional methods. The Kirke...

1. Introduction 1. Introduction Information on mass transport in polycrystalline zeolite membranes is necessary for a theoretical estimation of the membrane performances. Zeolite membranes are usually prepared as thin layer of an assembly of small zeolite crystals including many intercrystalline regions. Thus, the intercrystal region would influence their individual diffusion properties, which ...

Based on recently published papers, this article introduces the characteristics, hydrogen storage capacity, and economic advantages of the adsorptive carbon system, zeolite, and glass microspheres as possible methods of hydrogen storage. The adsorbents for hydrogen storage now available on the market are activated carbon and zeolite. In terms of hydrogen adsorption, zeolite can adsorb 1 wt perc...

Ultrahigh-field 27Al MAS and MQMAS NMR and 129Xe NMR were used to characterize the zeolite-coated SBA-15 materials. This study shows evidence that zeolite nanoclusters are coated on the mesopore surface of SBA-15. These techniques are useful for the detection of zeolite nanoclusters and different aluminum environments in zeolite/aluminosilicate composites, which are difficult or even impossible...
