In this work, chemical interactions between ozone and zeolite surface active sites are studied in order to propose a process for gaseous ozone removal. Synthetic ZSM-5 zeolites with three different Si/Al2 ratios and similar specific surface areas and microporous volumes were used in this study. Zeolite samples were characterised using Fourier Transform InfraRed spectroscopy (FTIR) and pyridine ...

Zeolite micropattern created from structurally similar hydrophobic Sil-1 and hydrophilic ZSM-5 zeolites, and tested for the immobilization of fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugate bovine serum albumin (BSA-FITC), biotin conjugate bovine serum albumin (Biotin-BSA), Hochest 33342 and rhodamine conjugate αbungatoxin, were preferentially deposited onto hydrophobic ZSM-5 patterns regardless of the pa...

In order to improve the sensing properties of tin dioxide gas sensor, four kinds of different SiO₂/Al₂O₃ ratio, different particle size of MFI type zeolites (ZSM-5) were coated on the SnO₂ to prepared zeolite modified gas sensors, and the gas sensing properties were tested. The measurement results showed that the response values of ZSM-5 zeolite (SiO₂/Al₂O₃ = 70, grain size 300 nm) coated SnO₂ ...

The direct conversion of methane and carbon dioxide to acetic acid is one of the most challenging research topics. Using the density functional theory (M06-L) the study reveals the catalytic activity of the Au(I)-ZSM-5 zeolite in this reaction. The Au(I)-ZSM-5 is represented by a 34T quantum cluster model. The activation of the C-H bond over the Au-ZSM-5 zeolite would readily take place via the...

Hierarchical zeolites have attracted more and attention due to their excellent diffusion mass transfer performance. However, synthesis of most hierarchical requires long-chain organic templates, which could increase preparation cost. Here, ZSM-5 were successfully prepared with simple templates (triethylenetetramine) in a rotating oven. Besides structure, the crystal size also decreased when the...

The absorption of carbon monoxide with H-ZSM-5 and metal-substituted Li-ZSM-5 zeolites has been investigated by Ž . using both cluster and embedded cluster approaches at the HFr6–31G d,p level of theory. For the H-ZSM-5 zeolite, the binding energy of CO on a 3T quantum cluster is predicted to be 2.25 kcalrmol for the C-bound complex. The O-bound complex was found to be less stable by about 0.84...

Visualizing proton-transfer processes at the nanoscale is essential for understanding the reactivity of zeolite-based catalyst materials. In this work, the Brønsted-acid-catalyzed oligomerization of styrene derivatives was used for the first time as a single molecule probe reaction to study the reactivity of individual zeolite H-ZSM-5 crystals in different zeolite framework, reactant and solven...

Hierarchical micro-mesoporous ZSM-5 (MFI type) zeolite was synthesized by using corn plant stem pith powder from agricultural waste as hard template under simple hydrothermal method. The additional porosity generated this into the zeolites precursor gel yielded hierarchical (C-ZSM-5). Conventional micro porous (ConvZSM-5) also prepared same procedure without adding to compare catalytic performa...

Optimizing the number, distribution, and accessibility of Brønsted acid sites in zeolite-based catalysts is of a paramount importance to further improve their catalytic performance. However, it remains challenging to measure real-time changes in reactivity of single zeolite catalyst particles by ensemble-averaging characterization methods. In this work, a detailed 3D single molecule, single tur...

A Cu-doped zeolite ZSM-5 (Cu-ZSM-5-M) with a micro-meso-macroporous structure was directly synthesized, and it exhibits excellent catalytic activity and good recyclability in the cross-coupling of aryl halides with diphenyl disulfides. This feature should be attributed to the structural characteristics of meso-macropores and homogeneous dispersion of active Cu(δ+) (δ < 2) species in Cu-ZSM-5-M.
