Acid Properties of Hierarchical Zeolites Y

Hierarchical Y and USY zeolites designed by post - synthetic strategies

Towards a sustainable manufacture of hierarchical zeolites.

Hierarchical zeolites have been established as a superior type of aluminosilicate catalysts compared to their conventional (purely microporous) counterparts. An impressive array of bottom-up and top-down approaches has been developed during the last decade to design and subsequently exploit these exciting materials catalytically. However, the sustainability of the developed synthetic methods ha...

Dielectric Properties of Dehydrated Zeolites

The synthetic zeolites of Heulandite group were prepared using Microwave-Hydrothermal (M-H) method at 120 ° C/30 min. The powders were characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD).The Zeolites were annealed at 60, 80 and 100 o C/1 hr. The d.c resistivity of Heulandite group zeolite was found to be constant upto 378K and increased as the temperature increases. Dielectric spectras (ε ’ and tanδ) o...

Catalytic Isomerization of Dihydroxyacetone to Lactic Acid and Alkyl Lactates over Hierarchical Zeolites Containing Tin

Hierarchical zeolites containing tin were obtained, characterized and used in a reaction of catalytic isomerization of dihydroxyacetone (DHA) to lactic acid and alkyl lactates. These catalysts are characterized by preserved crystallinity and primary microporosity with the simultaneous existence of secondary porosity regarding mesopores, which facilitates access of large molecules of reagents to...

Tailoring and visualizing the pore architecture of hierarchical zeolites.

Recently the concept of hierarchical zeolites invoked more explicit attention to enhanced accessibility of zeolites. By realizing additional meso-/macroporosity with the intrinsic microporosity of zeolites, a hierarchical pore system arises which facilitates mass transport while maintaining the zeolite shape selectivity. A great number of synthesis strategies have been developed for tailoring t...
