Carbon paste electrode modified with cobalt impregnated zeolite was prepared by mixing of cobalt_zeolite (Co_Z) and graphite powder with different percent. The electrochemical oxidation of cefixime at such electrodes was investigated using the cyclic voltammetric and amperometric techniques. It is not electrochemically active towards cefixime oxidation in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (pH=7) ...

A quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) was utilized to measure the water content in ethanol. For the improvement of measurement sensitivity, the QCM was modified by applying zeolite particles on the surface with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) binder. The measurement performance was examined with ethanol of 1% to 5% water content in circulation. The experimental results showed that the frequency ...

The aim of this study was to prepare and characterize a potential drug support system based on surfactant/zeolite composites for anti-inflammatory drugs. In order to increase the adsorbing capacity the external surface of the natural zeolite clinoptilolite was modified with benzalkonium chloride in the treatments raging from 100% to 300% of the zeolite external cation exchange capacity. Adsorpt...

In the present study, transalkylation of 1,4-diispropylbenzene (DIPB) with benzene in the presence of modified beta zeolite was performed to produce cumene in a fixed bed reactor. Beta zeolite was exchanged with cerium in order to modify its catalytic activity. Activity of the modified catalyst was evaluated in the range of temperature 493K–593K, space time 4.2 kg h/kmol–9.03 kg h/k mol and ben...

A goal of our study was to find an alternative to nano-silver-based antimicrobial materials which would contain active silver immobilized in a solid matrix that prevents its migration into the surrounding environment. In this study, we investigated whether silver cations dispersed in an atomic form and trapped in an ion-exchanged zeolite show comparable antimicrobial activity to silver nanopart...

A methodology to engineer roughened inorganic nanostructures on zeolites by deposition and growth of metal hydroxides is reported. Pure-silica (PS) MFI and (aluminosilicate) LTA zeolite crystals are treated by solvothermal methods to deposit inorganic hydroxide (e.g., Mg(OH)2) coatings with nanoscale roughened features on the crystal surfaces in a controlled manner. Detailed characterization of...

The separation of small molecule gases by membrane technologies can help performance enhancement and process intensification for emerging advanced fossil energy systems with CO2 capture capacity. This paper reports the demonstration of controlled modification of zeolitic channel size for the MFI-type zeolite membranes to enhance the separation of small molecule gases such as O2 and N2. Pure-sil...

Both zeolite A/L and SBA-15 have been used to assemble novel photofunctional multi-component lanthanide hybrid materials. Microporous zeolites A/L are first functionalized by embedding lanthanide or zinc complexes (TTA = thenoyltrifluoroacetone, TAA = trifluoroacetone, bipy = 2,2'-bipyridyl) into the pores of zeolite A/L, and then the surface of functionalized zeolite A/L is modified via covale...
