Ultrahigh-field 27Al MAS and MQMAS NMR and 129Xe NMR were used to characterize the zeolite-coated SBA-15 materials. This study shows evidence that zeolite nanoclusters are coated on the mesopore surface of SBA-15. These techniques are useful for the detection of zeolite nanoclusters and different aluminum environments in zeolite/aluminosilicate composites, which are difficult or even impossible...

Zeolites due to their structures can be used as molecular sieves for purification of materials and solutions. Zeolites with PHI and SOD structure are so common and applicable for this purpose. Hydroxy sodalite and phillipsite are the more abundant members of zeolites which display good selectivity for very small molecules and some ions such as Sr, Pb, Zn, Cu and Rb. There is not any pure natura...

Calixarene-capped Co(32) clusters are constructed by a sodalite Co(II)(24) cage and an encapsulated Co(III)(8) cube. The spherical units are arranged into three isomeric structures, two of which are stacked by the bcc lattices and the third of which is assembled by the cubic closest packing of the spherical units.

Sodalite zeolitic imidazolate frameworks containing Co (ZIF-67) and Zn (ZIF-8) were synthesized at room temperature under aqueous conditions in 10 min. A trialkylamine deprotonated the 2-methylimidazole ligand and nucleated the frameworks. Furthermore, the ligand acted as a structure directing agent in place of an organic solvent.

The ionizing radiation of livestock wastewater for the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus was studied in the presence of a natural zeolite. The feasibility of a combined process of zeolite ion exchange and electron beam irradiation of livestock wastewater was also investigated. The removal efficiencies of NH4-N, T-N and T-P were significantly enhanced by electron beam irradiation after zeolite ...

2-Ethyl-1,3,4-trimethylimidazolium is so far the fifth and largest imidazolium cation able to produce the pure silica zeolite ITW. The crystallization is not direct, but occurs as an in situ transformation from either the chiral HPM-1 (STW) zeolite or the new layered zeolite precursor HPM-2 (preMTF) and results in large interpenetrated crystals with a habit so far unseen in this zeolite. The re...

Wastewater treatment of some heavy metals was carried out by synthetic zeolite P1, which was prepared by alkaline hydrothermal treatment of the pumice. Both of the pumice raw materials and synthetic zeolite were investigated for their chemical phase composition, physical properties, and microstructure. The adsorption behavior of Na-zeolite P1 with respect to Co(+2), Cu(+2), Fe(+2), and Cd(+2) h...

Introduction: Ca-Al-rich inclusions (CAIs) from Allende usually have secondary alteration phases such as anorthite, grossular, sodalite, and nepheline [1-3]. Although these phases are considered to have been formed by relatively low temperature reactions between CAIs and a surrounding nebular gas [1, 2], it is not well known that when such processes occurred. 36 Cl-36 S and

A  facile  effective  stirring  aging  at  room  temperature  prior  to  conventional  hydrothermal treatment was employed in the template-free synthesis of micro- and nano-crystalline sodalites with  two  different  initial  gel  compositions.  The  effect  of  initial  Si/Al  molar  ratio,  NaOH concentration and stirring aging time were investigated on the morphology and particle size of the...
