Zeolite FAU type-Y is one of the most studied framework of all zeolites, and has been used as catalysts for number of reactions in the refinery and petrochemical industry. In this research, nanocrystalline zeolite Y was synthesized by hydrothermal method. The crystal size of zeolite Y is influenced by temperature, aging time, alkalinity, and water content. The synthesized zeolite NaY is identif...

Over the years, many strategies have been developed to address the problem of sintering of nanoparticle catalysts, including encapsulating metal nanoparticles in protective shells, and trapping nanoparticles in the cavities of certain zeolites in post-synthesis steps. In general, materials that contain metal nanoparticles that are only accessible via zeolite micropores are intriguing, specifica...

Ethanol is the preferred solvent for the formation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of thiolates on gold. By applying a thin film sensor system, we could demonstrate that even the best commercial qualities of ethanol contain surface-active contaminants, which can compete with the desired thiolates for surface sites. Here we present that gold nanoparticles deposited onto zeolite X can be used...

The our main goal of the present research is evaluating the performance of MnO2 nanoparticles-AgX zeolite composite as a novel adsorbent catalyst for the decontamination reactions of two most known sulfur mustard simulants; 2-chloroethyl phenyl sulfide (2-CEPS), 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (2-CEES) at room temperature and monitoring by Gas chromatography flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and G...

The action of a tetrapropylammonium hydroxide solution on lamellar zeolite precursor MCM-22P produced a stable aqueous colloidal suspension which was shown by X-ray diffraction, small angle X-ray scattering and atomic force microscopy to contain ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) crystallites, including one-unit cell thick (i.e., 2.5 nm) monolayers.

Modifying of HY/Zeolite is by loading nickel for applying catalyst in thermal catalytic cracking furfural extract-40 from the lubricating base oil unit. The study involved characterizing HY-zeolite and promoted with X-ray diffraction analysis, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), BET (Brunauer, Emmett, Teller), infrared ray analyses FTIR. tubular reactor a fixed bed two type catalysts; HY/zeolit...

Nickel doped TiO2nano particles (1% w/w) were prepared and immobilized on NaX zeolite and after characterization by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy used as photo catalyts for degradation of orange G. The X-ray diffraction patterns show that the supported TiO2 are crystallized in anatase form and the intensity of the zeolite peaks decreases with the incre...

−− The objective of this work was to synthesize zeolitic products using rice husk ash (RHA) as silicon source. For the synthesis, two mineralizing agents: NaOH and KOH were tested. Chemical composition of the synthesized samples as well as their cation exchange capacity (CEC) were determined. The samples were also characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). ...

In this work, Cs ion sorption on some clays and zeolite were investigated. Cs was used as a tracer. Activities were measured with a NaI crystal gamma counter. The particle size distribution was determined by a laser sizer. Surface area of the particles were determined by BET (Brunauer, Emmett and Teller method). Structure analysis was made by using X-ray diffraction. The chemical compositions o...

A novel activated carbo-aluminosilicate material was prepared from oil shale by chemical activation. The chemicals used in the activation process were 95 wt% sulfuric and 5 wt% nitric acids. The produced material combines the sorption properties and the mechanical strength of both activated carbon and zeolite. An X-ray diffraction analysis shows the formation of zeolite Y, Na-X, and A-types, so...
