Driven by the depletion of crude oil, the direct oxidation of methane to methanol has been of considerable interest. Promising low-temperature activity of an oxygen-activated zeolite, Cu-ZSM-5, has recently been reported in this selective oxidation and the active site in this reaction correlates with an absorption feature at 22,700 cm(-1). In the present study, this absorption band is used to s...

Hierarchical micro-mesoporous ZSM-5 (MFI type) zeolite was synthesized by using corn plant stem pith powder from agricultural waste as hard template under simple hydrothermal method. The additional porosity generated this into the zeolites precursor gel yielded hierarchical (C-ZSM-5). Conventional micro porous (ConvZSM-5) also prepared same procedure without adding to compare catalytic performa...

Background: Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are considered as major environmental contaminants that have a harmful effect on human and ecosystem health, so much effort has been focused on their removal. The aim of this study was to investigate the removal efficiency of styrene by Zeolite Socony Mobil-5 (ZSM-5) after immobilization of nanoparticles of zinc oxide (ZnO) on it. Materials and Meth...

Poly(p-phenylene) (PPP) was chemically synthesized via oxidative polymerization using benzene and doped with FeCl(3). The electrical conductivity response of the doped PPP (dPPP) towards CO, H(2) and NH(3) is investigated. dPPP shows no electrical conductivity response towards the first two gases (CO and H(2)), but it shows a definite negative response towards NH(3). The electrical conductivity...

Xylenes transformations have been investigated over ZSM-5 zeolite in a riser simulator that mimics closely the operation of commercial fluidized-bed reactors. P-xylene was found to be more reactive than the other isomers followed by o-xylene and m-xylene was found to be least reactive. The order of reactivity is consistent with the order of diffusivity. At low temperature (400°C), isomerization...

Sulfur, selenium, and tellurium were loaded into sub-mm size ZSM-5 single crystals and the optical properties have been comparatively studied. S and Te show similar features, while Se is unique. S and Te have optical absorption edges at wavelengths of ~400 nm with transmission dips at ~450 nm, while Se has the edge at ~550 nm. The three materials provide photoluminescence at visible wavelengths...

This study aimed to valorize microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) using protonated zeolite catalysts such as (H-ZSM-5) and Cr/H-ZSM-5 (5%) in ionic liquid. The catalytic effect synergy with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium Chloride ([BMIM] Cl) liquid was studied detail. total reducing sugar (TRS) determined the 3, 5-dinitrisalcylic acid (DNS) array method. were characterized techniques Fourier transform...

h-zsm-5 nano-zeolites were synthesized by hydrothermal method using tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (tpaoh) as a template in the presence of various tpabr concentrations. the effect of different tpabr/tpaoh molar ratios was studied on the catalytic performance of dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether (dme) in a fixed bed reactor under the same operating conditions (t=300°c, p=1 atm, and whsv=...
