background: there are great resources of natural zeolite in iran. zeolite, an inorganic ion-exchanger, may be used as a suitable technical-economical solution for water treatment in many regions of iran. in this study, the characterization of natural zeolite natrolite and the feasibility of removing hardness, cations, and anions were investigated. methods: first, zeolite composition and type we...

In this paper we report synthesis of Fe2TiO5-5A zeolite (Z5A) nanocomposites with 5%, 10% and 20% weight percent of Fe2TiO5 in 5A zeolite in stearic acid media after calcination of the gel samples obtained at 600-900°C for 2 hrs. The powder X-RAY diffraction (XRD) patterns have been used for characterization of the prepared samples. The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images and X-ray Energy...

introduction: dye removal from industrial wastewater has been considered as one of the most environmental issues. recently, new methods of treatment such as catalytic ozonation have been used to increase dye removal efficiency. so, the efficiency of catalytic ozonation by copper coated zeolite as a catalyst in the removal of reactive red 198 was investigated. materials & methods: in order to re...

the our main goal of the present research is evaluating the performance of mno2 nanoparticles-agx zeolite composite as a novel adsorbent catalyst for the decontamination reactions of two most known sulfur mustard simulants; 2-chloroethyl phenyl sulfide (2-ceps), 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (2-cees) at room temperature and monitoring by gas chromatography flame ionization detector (gc-fid) and g...

Zeolitic adsorbents have been developed for molybdenum recovery from various sources. The batchwise adsorption ability of molybdenum ion (Mo) with zeolite A type adsorbent could be improved when the counter cation (Na) was exchanged by divalent ions (Sr and Ca), while no significant difference was observed in the case of zeolite X type adsorbent. The adsorption ability for Mo was therefore base...

A PEBAX-nano zeolite X mixed matrix membrane was fabricated and operationally characterized using single gas (CO2) permeation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was used to study the arrangement of polymer chains of mixed matrix membrane. The membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to study cross-sectional morphology. The single gas permeability were carried...

In the present work, the nano-NaX zeolite and micro-NaX zeolite were synthesized via hydrothermal method. Then, the adsorption capacities and isotherms of pure gases CO2 and CH4 on the synthesized zeolite nanoparticles were determined at three temperatures of 288, 298 and 308 K and various pressures from 1 up to 20 bar. Adsorption capacities of CO2 on the nano-sized zeolites NaX were showed to ...

The effects of varying the silica source on synthesis of NaX zeolite crystals via conventional hydrothermal method have been investigated. Five different silica sources were selected while other parameters like Al source, reaction and aging time, SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio and temperature were same. The prepared products were characterized by XRD technique. The results showed that different cry...

The present paper describes the previous obtained results concerning purification of gases, water and sewages from toxic components such as mercury, radionuclides and petroleum substances. The tested materials constitute synthetic zeolites obtained in hydrothermal reaction, i.e., Na-X, Na-P1, and natural zeolite clinoptilolite. The zeolites (Na-X, Na-P1 and clinoptilolite) needed for mercury ca...
