Hydrocarbon traps can be used to bridge the temperature gap from cold start of a vehicle until exhaust after-treatment catalyst has reached its operating temperature. In this work, we investigate effect zeolite structure (ZSM-5, BEA, SSZ-13) and La addition H-BEA H-ZSM-5 on hydrocarbon storage capacity by temperature-programmed desorption DRIFT spectroscopy. The results show that presence signi...

A new heterogeneous photocatalyst was prepared by incorporation of methylene blue into ZSM-5 zeolite. This photocatalyst effectively absorbs light in visible range of the spectrum and when irradiated with visible light, it generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) in aqueous environment. Efficiency of the photocatalyst was tested on dechlorination of a model compound 4-chlorophenol and on growth ...

Zeolites have found widespread applications as catalysts and separation media. A L present, all technologies exploiting these materials use the zeolite in powder composite form. The desire to translate the molecular sieving properties of zeolite powder composites into a membrane configuration has long been recognized. To prepare such a membrane, the crystals must grow in an interlockng fashion ...

The reactive oxidizing species in the selective oxidation of methane to methanol in oxygen activated Cu-ZSM-5 was recently defined to be a bent mono(μ-oxo)dicopper(II) species, [Cu(2)O](2+). In this communication we report the formation of an O(2)-precursor of this reactive site with an associated absorption band at 29,000 cm(-1). Laser excitation into this absorption feature yields a resonance...
