A zeolite (mordenite)-pore-phenol resin composite and a zeolite-pore-shirasu glass composite were fabricated by hot-pressing. Their thermal conductivities were measured by a laser flash method to determine the thermal conductivity of the monolithic zeolite with the proposed mixing rule. The analysis using composites is useful for a zeolite powder with no sinterability to clarify its thermal pro...

New assemblies constituted by a microporous matrix of mordenite (MOR) zeolite on which TiO2 nanoclusters are deposited were synthesized using ionic oxalate complexes and TiCl3 titanium precursors. The samples were used to investigate the transfer of electrons produced by spontaneous or photo-induced ionization of a guest molecule (t-stilbene, t-St) occluded in the porous volume towards the cond...

Identifying Cu-exchanged zeolites able to activate C-H bonds and selectively convert methane to methanol is a challenge in the field of biomimetic heterogeneous catalysis. Recent experiments point to the importance of trinuclear [Cu3(μ-O)3]2+ complexes inside the micropores of mordenite (MOR) zeolite for selective oxo-functionalization of methane. The electronic structures of these species, nam...

Exploring advanced catalysts and reaction systems operated at mild conditions is crucial for conducting the direct methane oxidation toward oxygenate products. Many efforts have been put into research on pentasil−type (MFI) zeolites based mononuclear and/or binuclear iron sites, using H2O2 as oxidant. In this work, we present a modified liquid ion−exchange method to better control Fe loading in...

Quantitative determination of Br?nsted acid sites in acidic mordenite samples with varying proton concentrations has been studied using aqueous conductometric titration method. Conductometric titration of the ammonium form of mordenite with sodium hydroxide is feasible and the results indicate potential number of Br?nsted acid sites. However, Br?nsted acid sites concentration in acidic mordenit...

This communication reports the discovery of several small-pore Cu-zeolites and zeotypes that produce methanol from methane and water vapor, and produce more methanol per copper atom than Cu-ZSM-5 and Cu-mordenite. The new materials include Cu-SSZ-13, Cu-SSZ-16, Cu-SSZ-39, and Cu-SAPO-34.

We present a periodic density-functional investigation of the adsorption and the vibrational spectroscopy of CO in mordenite. Our results highlight a pronounced sensitivity of the strength of the hydrogen bond between the acidic hydroxyl groups and the adsorbed molecule, and hence of the induced red shift of the OH, and the blue shift of the CO stretching mode on the choice of the exchange-corr...

Abstract: Nano pore Mordenite membranes were prepared on the outer surface of ceramic tubular tubes via hydrothermal synthesis and evaluated for dehydration pervaporation of water unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine UDMH mixtures. Highly water-selective mordenite membranes were prepared and the optimum reaction condition was found to be 24 h crystallization time and 170 °C crystallization temperatu...

The growing consumption of light olefins has stimulated intensive researches on methanol to olefin (MTO) process which possesses great advantages for coal conversion value-added chemicals in an environmentally benign way. catalysts commonly used MTO faces several challenges such as poor selectivity control, low hydrothermal stability and short lifetime. In the present study, we prepared a serie...
