Molecular simulations have been used to investigate at the molecular level the suitability of zeolites with different topology on the adsorption, diffusion and separation of a nitrogen-sulfur hexafluoride mixture containing the latter at low concentration. This mixture represents the best alternative for the sulfur hexafluoride in industry since it reduces the use of this powerful greenhouse ga...

Adsorption of 1-propanethiol on Co and Cd modified, synthetic (3A, 4A and 13X) zeolites were studied by FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) spectroscopy and SEM-EDX (Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-Ray) graphics. Amount of metal cations on mentioned zeolites was measured by AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrometer). Based on divalent cations of zeolites, it was assumed that cations ma...

In this paper, the utilisation of zeolites synthesised from fly ash (FA) and related co-disposal filtrates as low-cost adsorbent material were investigated. When raw FA and co-disposal filtrates were subjected to alkaline hydrothermal zeolite synthesis, the zeolites faujasite, sodalite and zeolite A were formed. The synthesised zeolites were explored to establish its ability to remove lead and ...

Zeolite HOU-2 (LTA type) is prepared with the highest silica content (Si/Al = 2.1) reported for Na-LTA zeolites without the use of an organic structure-directing agent. The rational design of Si-rich zeolites has the potential to improve their thermal stability for applications in catalysis, gas storage, and selective separations.

By means of an EPR investigation of Mo ions introduced into NaY zeolites by solid-state reactions, the location and coordination of Mo in zeolites were investigated. Two different locations, free and distorted tetrahedral, were found. The molecular orbital coefficient, ß, and the effective charge, Q, for the MO ions in a distorted tetrahedral structure were calculated and interpreted.

This study investigated whether zeolites of different size (Y30 (nano-sized) and H-Beta(OH)-III (forming large aggregates/agglomerates composed of 50 nm small primary particles)) exerted acute toxicity on larvae of the non-biting midge, Chironomus riparius, and whether such zeolites are able to modulate the toxicity of a common insecticide, thiacloprid, by means of adsorption of a dissolved tox...
