the our main goal of the present research is evaluating the performance of mno2 nanoparticles-agx zeolite composite as a novel adsorbent catalyst for the decontamination reactions of two most known sulfur mustard simulants; 2-chloroethyl phenyl sulfide (2-ceps), 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (2-cees) at room temperature and monitoring by gas chromatography flame ionization detector (gc-fid) and g...

The Special Issue “Zeolite Catalysis” published in the online journal Catalysts was recently successfully completed. A good number of peer-reviewed publications were published reflecting the broadness of the zeolite syntheses, characterizations and various application fields. This issue brought together recent research of well-known research teams from all over the world. The term “zeolite” is ...

Zeolite ZSM-5 presents a great source of interest in catalysis because of its shape selective properties. The absence of a relationship between the template size and shape of the structure generated during the synthesis of zeolites is illustrated by the case of ZSM-5. In this study, we have investigated the role of ethanol, methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (MTPBr) and cetyltrimethylammonium b...

In this work, we have modified a synthesized Y-type zeolite (Si/Al = 2.5), with three different amines to investigate of the influence of adsorbent’s surface modification on CO2 selectivity over CH4. The pristine and amine-functionalized NaY zeolites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and N2 adsorption. The resu...

Applications of zeolite membranes in separation, chemical sensors, and catalytic membrane reactors have led to extensive studies on their fabrication. To date, mainly silicatebased zeolite membranes of the structure types MFI, DDR, LTA, and FAU have been synthesized on different substrates and evaluated for singleor multiple-gas permeation. Routes for the synthesis of zeolite membranes can be b...

SAPO-40, a silicoaluminophosphate with a structure not topologically related with any aluminosilicate zeolite, was synthesised for the first time in 1984 by Lok and co-workers [1]. Recently, a synthesis procedure leading to pure SAPO40 was developed and the structure of this material was established by crystallographic methods. The framework topology (designated AFR by the International Zeolite...

Interactions of fluoride anions and organocations with crystalline silicate frameworks are shown to depend subtly on the architectures of the organic species, which significantly influence the crystalline structures that result. One- and two-dimensional (2D) (1)H, (19)F, and (29)Si nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy measurements establish distinct intermolecular interactions among F(...

Fibrous erionite is a mineral fibre of great concern but to date mechanisms by which it induces cyto- and geno-toxic damage, and especially the role of iron associated to this zeolite species, remain poorly understood. One of the reasons is that we still don't know exactly where iron is in natural erionite. This work is focused on fibrous erionite-Na from Jersey (Nevada, USA) and attempts to dr...

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...

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...
