A number of potentiometric biosensors based on coimmobilization of enzymes with different types of zeolite on pH-ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) have been developed. Their working characteristics have been determined and compared. It was shown that clinoptilolite and zeolite Beta polymorph A (BEA) are more promising for creating biosensors than zeolite A. Changing the concentratio...

Two flame retarded plastics have been pyrolysed in the presence of two Zeolite catalysts to remove the organobromine compounds from the derived pyrolysis oil. The flame retarded plastics were, acrylonitrile – butadiene – styrene (ABS) that was flame retarded with tetrabromobisphenol A and high-impact-polystyrene (HIPS) that was flame retarded with decabromodiphenyl ether. The two catalysts inve...

In order to investigate cecal coccidiosis in broilers fed zeolite mixtures, two experiments were performed. The first was carried out in vitro, where the concentration of anticoccidial medicine not adsorbed by zeolites was determined by a spectrophotometric method. In the second experiment 100 one-day old broilers were divided into two groups that were fed with mixed feed containing the anticoc...

abstract uranium is a natural heavy metal widely dispersed across the earth crust. in many cases due to anthropogenic disturbance, it has been found beyond its natural abundance which resulted in soil-water pollution. the objective of this study was to investigate the capability of iranian natural zeolite clinoptilolite for removal of uranium (vi) from aqueous solutions. in order to optimize re...

Synthesis of nanoparticles of TiO2, Pt, CdS, and their binary and ternary combinations were made on zeolite Y starting frommolecular precursors that are ion exchanged into the zeolite.Nanoclusters ofTiO2 in the anatase formwere formed from titanyl ions at low loadings of Ti (1 per 2.5 supercages). CdS (hexagonal form) andmetallic Pt were formed fromCd2þ and Pt(NH3)4 2þ ion exchanged into the ze...

Measurement by impedance spectroscopy of the changes in intrazeolitic cation motion of pressed pellets of zeolite particles upon adsorption of dimethylmethylphosphonate (DMMP) provides a strategy for sensing DMMP, a commonly used simulant for highly toxic organophosphate nerve agents. In this work, two strategies for improving the impedance spectroscopy based sensing of DMMP on zeolites were in...

The increasing requirements for the environmental protection have resulted in the search for more effective, inexpensive and ecologically safe solutions. Zeolite is one of the alternatives, which due to their peculiar structure are widely used for various environmental processes. The demand for an easily accessible and inexpensive source of zeolite has raised interest in synthesis of these mine...

Characteristics and sonocatalytic activity of zeolite Y catalysts loaded with TiO2 using impregnation and ion exchange methods for the degradation of amaranth dye were investigated. The Ion-exchange method was used to encapsulate the TiO2 into the internal pores of the zeolite while the incorporation of TiO2 mostly on the external surface of zeolite was carried out using the impregnation method...
