A hierarchical zeolite CaA with microporous, mesoporous and macroporous structure was hydrothermally synthesized by a ”Bond-Blocking” method using organo-functionalized mesoporous silica (MS) as a silica source. The characterization by XRD, SEM/TEM and N2 adsorption/desorption techniques showed that the prepared material had well-crystalline zeolite Linde Type A (LTA) topological structure, mic...

a computational study of the electronic structure and stability of complexes formed between zeolite y and boric acid was carried out at the hf and b3lyp levels using 6-31g* basis set. five structures located as local minimum in pes of complex (structures d, e, f, g, and h). the most stable structure is formed due to hydrogen bonding between two hydroxyl of boric acid and both oxygen of ...

Background & Aims of the Study:  Nitrate is one of the most important pollutants that its reduced form, nitrite, can cause serious problems for human health and environment. Adsorption with cheap sorbents such as Zeolite is the best way for removal of this pollutant. So this study aimed to apply modified Clinoptilolite Zeolite for nitrate removal. Materials & Methods...

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...

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...

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 synthesis route to a hierarchically meso-/microporous BEA zeolite has been developed with a cyclic diammonium as a structure-directing agent (SDA), which leads to pseudomorphic crystallization of the zeolite by suppressing the mobility of silicates during crystallization.

Zeolite-based technology can provide a cost effective solution for stormwater treatment for the removal of toxic heavy metals under increasing demand of safe water from alternative sources. This paper reviews the currently available knowledge relating to the effect of properties of zeolites such as pore size, surface area and Si:Al ratio and the physico-chemical conditions of the system such as...

—A machine learning approach is applied to classify zeolite crystals according to their framework type. The Zeolite-Structure-Predictor is introduced based on the Random Forest algorithm. Zeolites structural data from the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) are used to train the model. The ZSP uses sixteen attributes including topological descriptors obtained with statistical geometry a...
