Ordered mesoporous SBA-15 analogs with different Si/Al ratios were successfully prepared in a two-step process from self-assembly of ZSM-5 nanoseeds at high temperature in mildly acidic media (473 K, pH 3.5). The obtained products were characterized as SAXS, XRD, N₂ sorption, FTIR, TEM, NH₃-TPD, AAS and ICP. The results show that the initial Si/Al molar ratio of ZSM-5 precursors strongly affect...

A novel route is proposed for the preparation of mesopore containing zeolite ZSM-5 via in situ hydrothermal treatment of a solution containing alkali-dissolved SBA-15 containing carbonized surfactant P123 in the mesopores; it exhibited prominent stability enhancement for methanol to propylene reaction.

-We have investigated the effects of occupancy and blocked sites on the diffusivity of penetrants in a three-dimensional lattice model of ZSM-5. Using our model, which is a realistic. coarse-grained description of the zeolite, we find that diffusivity decreases more strongly with occupancy and fraction of blocked sites than on a two-dimensional square or three-dimensional cubic lattice. The per...

The Al siting in the ZSM-5 zeolite was investigated by Al 3Q MAS NMR spectroscopy and QM/MM calculations. It was found that the occupation of the framework T-sites by Al and the concentration of Al in these T-sites are neither random nor controlled by a simple rule. They both depend on the conditions of the zeolite synthesis. At least 12 out of the 24 distinguishable framework T-sites of ZSM-5 ...

Recently, zeolites attracted considerable research attention because they exhibit adsorption properties, ion exchange capabilities and a good catalytic property, specific pore size distribution; unique chemical thermal properties several applications. 
 Actually play crucial role as catalyst to capture convert Carbone dioxide into valuable products.
 In the present work, hydrothermal ...

The aim of this work was to establish the effects of zeolite structure/chemical composition on the activity and selectivity of Cu-exchanged Y (Si/Al = 2.5), ZSM-5 (Si/Al = 12), and Mordenite (Si/Al = 10) for the oxidative carbonylation of methanol to DMC. Catalysts were prepared by solid-state ion-exchange of the H-form of each zeolite with CuCl and were then characterized by FTIR and X-ray abs...
