Abstract. This paper focuses on the authigenic mineralization processes acting “Tufo Rosso a Scorie Nere” (TRS), i.e. one of main pyroclastic units Vico stratovolcano (Latium, Italy). The deposits appear in general massive and made “black vitreous vesiculated juvenile scoriae”, immersed an ashy matrix lithified after zeolitization processes. minerals are chabazite phillipsite, zeolitic content ...

The oxidation of NO to NO2 and the subsequent reduction by NH3 via a NO+ intermediate over proton-type chabazite zeolite (H-CHA) were investigated combination in situ infrared (IR) spectroscopy density functional theory (DFT) calculations. IR spectral results indicate that species formed under flow + O2 at 27–250 °C are more stable lower temperatures both H-CHA copper-cation-exchanged CHA (Cu-C...

A new locality of böhmite and zeolite minerals, called „Soutěsky above the quarry“, occurs near quarry „Soutěsky“ on SW slope Hlídka hill, eastward Soutěsky village, about 5 km od town Děčín (Czech Republic). The mineralization is bound to vugs Cenozoic volcanics. Böhmite forms mostly whitish brownish hemispherical spherical clusters up mm in size. unit-cell parameters böhmite, refined from X-r...

The development of lowand hightemperature alteration products in a 23 m section of ocean-floor basalts is described. Analcime, calcite and dioctahedral smectite are ubiquitous. Trioctahedral smectite, smectite-chlorite mixed layers, chabazite and scolecite occur in the deeper sections with Fe 3+ oxides/ hydroxides progressively becoming more abundant in the upper regions. The upper layers of th...

Zeolite materials are microporous aluminosilicates with various uses, including acting as important catalysts in many processes. One such process is the methanol to gasoline reaction, used widely in industry. This reaction is known to be associated with Brønsted acid sites in the zeolite, formed when Si is substituted by Al in the framework, with an associated Hq being bound nearby to maintain ...
