Mesoporous aggregates of nanocrystalline zeolites with MFI and BEA frameworks have been synthesized using a one-pot and single structure directing agent. The effect of different reaction conditions, such as temperature, time, pH and water content, on the particle size, surface area and mesopore volume has been studied. Nanocrystalline and mesoporous ZSM-5, β and Y zeolites were modified with di...

Hierarchical clinoptilolite and L zeolites are prepared using optimized tandem dealumination-desilication treatments. The main challenge in the post-synthetic modification of these zeolites is the high Al content, requiring a tailored dealumination prior to the desilication step. For natural clinoptilolite sequential acid treatments using aqueous HCl solutions were applied, while for L a contro...

Experiments were conducted to study the ability of surfactant-modified clinoptilolite for molybdate adsorption from aqueous solutions. Clinoptilolite was treated with some cationic surfactants. Adsorption of surfactants on zeolite surface was confirmed by chemical analysis, IR (Infra-Red Spectroscopy), DTG (Derivative Thermogravimetry) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) techniques. The modi...

Chromatographic properties of different types of synthetic zeolites and samples of natural mordenite, modified by ion-exchange have been studied. The influence of degree of replacement and character of cations of alkali and alkaline-earth metals and also of silver and copper on chromatographic retainment of constant components of air and its most spread pollutants have been shown. Recommendatio...

The local structure of as-synthesised silicalite-1 zeolites is modified using asymmetric R(Pr)3N(+) structure directing agents. Using multi-nuclear NMR ((1)H, (13)C, (14)N, (19)F, (29)Si), we show for the first time the ability of these cations to adopt preferential orientations at the zeolite channels' crossing.

besides human dental and skeletal fluorosis, drinking water above permissible levels of fluoride is known to cause a wide range of adverse health effects. in this study, the adsorption of fluoride from aqueous solution onto pretreated zeolite has been studied by using batch test. the large surface area of natural zeolite (i. e., clinoptilolite from miyaneh region, iran) was utilized to create a...

This work is focused on the application of Cu-containing zeolites as potential environmental sensors for monitoring carbon monoxide. A number commercial with different structural properties (NaX, NaY, MOR, FER, BEA and ZSM-5) were modified using CuSO4, Cu(NO3)2 Cu(OAc)2 solutions copper sources to prepare Cu+-containing zeolites, since Cu+ forms stable complexes CO at room temperature that can ...
