Hydrophobic Y-zeolite (SiO2/Al2O3 = 810) and TiO2 composite photocatalysts were designed by using two different types of TiO2 precursors, i.e., titanium ammonium oxalate and ammonium hexafluorotitanate. The porous structure, surface property and state of TiO2 were investigated by various characterization techniques. By using an ammonium hexafluorotitanate as a precursor, hydrophobic modificatio...

m-Xylene transformation has been studied on as-prepared H-Y and a series of dealuminated Y zeolite catalysts. The conversion of m-xylene was found to increase initially with acidity, however, decreases subsequently. It has been proposed that the high concentration of acid sites in the H-Y catalyst increases paring reaction, in addition to the well-known isomerization and disproportionation path...

Dipolar-dephasing method provides some information about the strength of dipolar coupling in solids. Dipolar dephasing technique measures the time for a polarized carbon nucleus to lose its magnetization once the proton locking field is terminated. The dynamics of guest molecules adsorbed within the cavities and channels of nonporouszeolite strongly depend on the structure and chemical composit...

Discharge of organic substances into air has been strongly prohibited since some decades ago, to preserve comfortable natural environment. Though hydrocarbons, alcohols and chlorinated hydrocarbons had been used as the degreasing agent in industries, these solvents may also affect to our environment, and it is necessary to remove them from air as much as possible. This study was performed aimin...

A double-blind cross-over study was performed to evaluate the inhibitory activity of silver zeolite (SZ) mouthrinse on plaque formation. Eleven dental students participated in this study. SZ mouthrinse was prepared by suspending SZ powder into phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at a concentration of 3% (w/w). Type-A zeolite was used as a placebo. Before the experiment, the subjects were rendered p...

TiO2 is a very well-known and well-researched material due to the stability of its chemical structure, biocompatibility, and its physical, optical and electrical properties. In this study, the synergistic effect of nano-TiO2 immobilized on activated carbon, zeolite Y and ZSM-5 on the removal of styrene vapors from polluted air was investigated. The prepared catalysts were characterized by SEM, ...
