A d-dimensional zeolite is a d-dimensional body-and-pin framework with a (d+1)-regular underlying graph G. That is, each body of the zeolite is incident with d+1 pins and each pin belongs to exactly two bodies. The corresponding d-dimensional combinatorial zeolite is a bar-and-joint framework whose graph is the line graph of G. We show that a two-dimensional combinatorial zeolite is generically...

High-quality TMA-A zeolite nonocrystals were synthesized using a hydrothermal method from a Al(i-pro)3 : 2.2 TEOS : 2.4 TMAOH : 0.3 NaOH : 200H2O composition. The average size of the zeolite crystal used was 60-130 nm with a lattice constant of 12.389 Å. The well-oriented self-assembled monolayers of zeolite with a face parallel to the glass surface treated with the 4-diisocyanates (DIC-4) show...

Chiral zeolitic materials with intrinsically chiral frameworks are highly desired because they can combine both shape selectivity and enantioselectivity. In the field of zeolite, the synthesis of chiral polymorph A of zeolite Beta or chiral polymorph A-enriched zeolite Beta is one of the biggest challenges. We demonstrate here a generalized extremely concentrated fluoride route for the synthesi...

Zeolites are microporous crystalline materials with highly regular framework structures consisting of molecularsized pores and channels. The characteristic framework type of a zeolite is conventionally defined by combining information on its coordination sequences, vertex symbols, tiling, and transitivity information. Here we present a novel knowledge-based approach for zeolite framework type c...

The electroactivity of zeolite-encapsulated redox-active transition metal complexes, {M(L)}Z, was explored for Co(salen) and [Fe(bpy)3] formed in NaY zeolite (where salen ) N,N′-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine and bpy ) 2,2′-bipyridine). The zeolite boundary was characterized via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and cyclic voltammetry in nonaqueous electrolyte at either zeolite-modified ...

Ammonia occurs in marine waters including effluents, receiving waters, and sediment interstitial waters. At sufficiently high concentrations, ammonia can be toxic to aquatic species. Toxicity identification evaluation (TIE) methods provide researchers with tools for identifying aquatic toxicants. For identifying ammonia toxicity, there are several possible methods including pH alteration and vo...

INTRODUCTION Air pollution in confined environments is a serious health problem, in that most people spend long periods indoors (in homes, offices, classrooms etc.). Some people (children, the elderly, heart disease patients, asthmatic or allergic subjects) are at greater risk because of their conditions of frailty. The growing use of air-conditioning systems in many public and private building...

Over the years, many strategies have been developed to address the problem of sintering of nanoparticle catalysts, including encapsulating metal nanoparticles in protective shells, and trapping nanoparticles in the cavities of certain zeolites in post-synthesis steps. In general, materials that contain metal nanoparticles that are only accessible via zeolite micropores are intriguing, specifica...

The aim of this study was to evaluate gastrointestinal microbial population response and performance of broiler chickens fed organic acids and silver nanoparticles coated on zeolite under heat stress condition. In this experiment, 375 one-day old broiler chicks (Cobb 500) were randomly divided into 5 treatments containing 5 replicates with 15 birds in each replicate. Five dietary treatments wer...

a 70-days experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of natural zeolite (clinoptelolite) on the performance of commercial laying hens. 288 hy-line w36 strain laying hens (50 weeks old) were allotted to 6 dietary treatments including basal diet as control and basal diet supplemented with 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5% zeolite that were fed ad -libitum throughout the experiment. experimental diets fo...
