Bifunctional Pt-HMOR catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation of various desilicated MOR obtained by alkaline treatment using NaOH concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 M. The zeolite structural changes upon modification were investigated by several techniques including powder X-ray diffraction, Al and Si MAS-NMR spectroscopy, N2 adsorption, pyridine adsorption followed by inf...

The presence of Cs+ ions in the pseudo-1D nanopores of zeolite ITQ-4, Si32O64, is confirmed by x-ray diffraction and atomic pair distribution function analysis. Inside the nanopores the Cs+ ions are found to assemble in zigzag chains and thus form an extended, positively charged sublattice providing charge balance for a low-density electron gas also confined to the nanopores.

This study examines the performance of a new adsorbent, hexagonal nanostructured zeolite particles (HNZP) for acetone adsorption and compares the results with that of commercial mobil synthetic zeolite-5 (ZSM-5) type zeolite. The HNZP is a pure siliceous adsorbent with different values of pore diameter and surface area being adjustable by the manufacturing condition. The results indicate that a...

Abstract This work aimed at treating OMW by developing an environmentally friendly and cost-effective media capable of removing phenolic compounds upon the interaction between magnetic nanoparticles sorbent material such as zeolite. Magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) goethite (FeO(OH)) were prepared using microemulsion method dimethylene-1,2-bis (dodecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide) (CTAB) a surfactant. The h...

Fly Ash (FA) from a power station in South Africa was investigated to neutralise and remove contaminants from Acid Mine Drainage (AMD). After this primary treatment the insoluble FA residue namely solid residue (SR) was investigated as a suitable mine backfill material by means of strength testing. Moreover, SR was used to synthesise zeolite-P using a two-step synthesis procedure. Furthermore, ...

Herein, optimization of zeolite NaA/NaX synthesis conditions in order to obtain the final product with high surface area and pore volume was investigated. An optimal condition 5 days aging time crystallization 9 h co-addition cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) heptane. All those provided mixed phase between NaA NaX, addition organic phases improved synthesized zeolite. The role CTAB heptane ...

Nanoscale manganese oxides within Faujasite zeolite have been synthesized with a simple method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction spectrometry, N(2) adsorption-desorption isotherms, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic absorption spectroscopy. These oxides showed efficient water oxidizing activity in the presence of cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate as a non-...

this study investigated the photocatalytic behaviors for the nanocomposite of tio2 p25 and semnan natural zeolite in the decomposition of tetracycline under visible light in an aqueous solution. the structural features of the composite were investigated by a series of complementary techniques that included x-ray diffractometer (xrd), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir), scanning elec...
