In this work, the structure and reactive properties of niobium (Nb)-impregnated MWW-type materials were evaluated for gas-phase total oxidation volatile organic compounds, including BTX (benzene, toluene o -xylene). The role type (two or three-dimensional) loading Nb considered. results indicated most species with a tetrahedral coordination on external surfaces both two- three-dimensional zeoli...

Synthesis of high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is demonstrated by a laser heating catalytic CVD method. This method makes it possible to produce SWNTs without the use of an electric furnace or hot filament. SWNTs were synthesized from alcohol using Fe/Co catalyst particles supported on zeolite and Mo/Co particles deposited directly on a substrate Synthesis of high purity SWNTs ...

The characterization of Fe/ZSM5 zeolite materials, the nature of Fe-sites active in N(2)O direct decomposition, as well as the rate limiting step are still a matter of debate. The mechanism of N(2)O decomposition on the binuclear oxo-hydroxo bridged extraframework iron core site [Fe(II)(mu-O)(mu-OH)Fe(II)](+) inside the ZSM-5 zeolite has been studied by combining theoretical and experimental ap...

Citronellal can be cyclised to produce isopulegol, which is an intermediate in the synthesis of menthols. These chemicals are all used in the fragrance industry and menthol is also an important product used as a flavour, a pharmaceutical and in oral care. The cyclisation of citronellal proceeds readily with various homogeneous catalysts, but the catalyst frequently cannot be recovered and reuse...

New photocatalysts were obtained by immobilization of titanium and gold species on zeolite Y, hierarchical MCM-48 KIT-6 supports with microporous, mesoporous cubic structure. The samples characterized X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2-physisorption, scanning transmission electron microscopy (SEM/TEM), diffuse reflectance UV–Vis spectroscopy (DRUV-Vis), photoelectron (XPS), Raman photoluminescence spe...

In the research described in this paper, studied was sorption capacity of natural and ferric modification of zeolite tuff containing mineral clinoptilolite from the Nižný Hrabovec deposit to remove potentially toxic metals (ionic forms of chromium, nickel, copper and aluminium) from their water solutions. We reported that the Fe (III) zeolite has an enhanced ability to sorption of Cu (II), and ...

The transformation of acetone (a byproduct phenol manufacturing or a bioderived chemical) into mesitylene is very attractive reaction to prepare renewable fuels and chemicals. This has been studied over both base acid catalysts, with relevant limitations (side reactions oligomerization isophorones basic materials, etc.). We propose an alternative strategy perform this combining catalysts either...

Growth, nutrient balance, plasma ammonia levels and urinary p-cresol excretion were evaluated in growing pigs fed diets containing various levels of zeolite A or clinoptilolite. In one growth trial, crossbred pigs averaging 25 kg initial body weight were assigned to diets containing no zeolite, .3% zeolite A or .5% clinoptilolite for a 6-wk growing phase trial. Average daily gain (ADG), average...
