The present investigation has been carried out to assess a chromium, cobalt, and cadmium from wastewaters by natural and modified zeolites were examined by using batch type method. A clinoptilolite type synthetic / natural zeolite were pretreated with HCl and HNO3 to improve the adsorption capacity for heavy metals. The removal efficiencies and kinetics of heavy metals such as chromium, cobalt ...

Growth, nutrient balance, plasma ammonia levels and urinary p-cresol excretion were evaluated in growing pigs fed diets containing various levels of zeolite A or clinoptilolite. In one growth trial, crossbred pigs averaging 25 kg initial body weight were assigned to diets containing no zeolite, .3% zeolite A or .5% clinoptilolite for a 6-wk growing phase trial. Average daily gain (ADG), average...

ine"> Chabazite zeolite membranes were synthesized for their potential application in dehydration of natural gas. The membranes were prepared using secondary growth method on porous <span styl...

A simple and versatile approach has been developed to synthesize different carbon/zeolite T functional membrane materials. The precursors of the membrane are composed of polyimide matrix and dispersed zeolite T particles. Membranes prepared by pyrolysis at 973 K showed excellent gas (H2, CO2, O2, N2, CH4) permeability and selectivity and the gas selectivity (O2/N2, CO2/CH4) of the functional me...

Novel nanocomposites consisting of a water-soluble acrylamide-based photopolymer and colloidal zeolite nanoparticles of zeolite Beta and zeolite A were prepared. The interactions between the photopolymer components and zeolite nanoparticles in the photopolymerizable nanocomposites were characterized for the first time by (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance and visible spectroscopy. It was found th...

This article reported a novel low-temperature process for aromatics production through lignin depolymerization catalyzed by 0.1 wt% Pd-zeolite Y catalyst prepared by a facile method. Under the same reactive condition, the as-prepared Pd-zeolite Y catalysts exhibited much higher catalytic efficiency than zeolite Y or commercial Pd/Al2O3–zeolite composites. The selectivity of the Pd-zeolite Y tow...

Iron incorporated zeolites were prepared from Na-A type zeolite synthesized from melting slag and FeCl3 solution and applied as adsorbents for NH3 and H2S gases. Iron incorporated zeolite was pelletized, calcined and used for gas adsorption experiment. XRD analyses of the zeolite revealed that Fe3þ concentration of solution more than 90mM could destruct the zeolite network structure. It was obs...

A fiber optic intrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric (IFPI) chemical sensor was developed by fine-polishing a thin layer of polycrystalline nanoporous MFI zeolite synthesized on the cleaved endface of a single mode fiber. The sensor operated by monitoring the optical thickness changes of the zeolite thin film caused by the adsorption of organic molecules into the zeolite channels. The optical th...
