The zincZeolite Socony Mobil-Five nano-particles (Zn-ZSM-5 NPs) composite was prepared and applied successfully as a new coating material to improve the corrosion resistance of steel. The corrosion type and quality of both pure zinc and our new coating material, Zn-ZSM-5 NPs, were studied using mass loss, impedance and electro-chemical polarization techniques in a sodium chloride solution. Obta...

A series of Mo-containing MFI zeolites with different Mo loadings (Mo-MFI-n, n represent the initial Si/Mo molar ratio) was hydrothermally synthesized by using tetrapropylammonium hydroxide as template and Mo-EDTA complex source. Various characterization results demonstrated that use is beneficial for incorporation more species into MFI-type zeolites. The special complexing capability EDTA2– pl...

Efficient direct valorization of methane to value-added chemicals and materials remains an unsolved challenge for modern chemistry science. In this work, we explored non-oxidative conversion hydrogen, hydrocarbons, valuable zeolite-templated carbon materials. First, using a set spectroscopy microscopy characterization tools, investigated how the reaction conditions influence process formation i...

GIS-NaP1 zeolite samples were synthesized using seven different Si/Al ratios (5-11) of the hydrothermal reaction mixtures having chemical composition Al2O3:xSiO2:14Na2O:840H2O to study the impact of Si/Al molar ratio on the water vapour adsorption potential, phase purity, morphology and crystal size of as-synthesized GIS-NaP1 zeolite crystals. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) observations reveal tha...

Volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions can cause serious risk to human health and the environment. In this work, we used Monte Carlo simulations to assess the performance of industrially important zeolites for the adsorption-based removal of a number of common air pollutants, particularly small saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons: propane, butane, propene, and 1-butene. We focused on the ...

Desilication of commercial MFI-type (ZSM-5) zeolites in solutions of alkali metal hydroxides is demonstrated to generate highly selective heterogeneous catalysts for the aqueous-phase isomerization of biobased dihydroxyacetone (DHA) to lactic acid (LA). The best hierarchical ZSM-5 sample attains a LA selectivity exceeding 90 %, which is comparable to that of the state-of-the-art catalyst (i.e.,...

Mechanochemical activation and steam-assisted interzeolite transformation offer a simple, fast cost-efficient synthesis route to gmelinite (GME) zeolite. The use of faujasite (FAU) as the parent zeolite precursor facilitates reaction results in high yields high-quality GME less than 20 h under optimized conditions. accessible porosity amounts stacking-faults were determined by N2 physisorption ...

OBJECTIVE The diagnosis of hereditary red blood cell (RBC) membrane disorders, and in particular hereditary spherocytosis (HS) and Southeast Asian ovalocytosis (SAO), is based on clinical history, RBC morphology, and other conventional tests such as osmotic fragility. However, there are some milder cases of these disorders that are difficult to diagnose. The application of eosin-5'-maleimide (E...

In this paper, the performances of potential zeolite membranes were estimated by the Maxwell-Stefan model and then they were placed in Robeson plot of propylene/propane separation. Additionally, the effects of feed pressure and the mole fraction of propylene in the feed on both the propylene permeabilities and membrane permselectivities were investigated. The results showed that zeolite membran...
