Commercialized silicoaluminophosphate-34 (SAPO-34) zeolite was successfully blended in the polyethersulfone (PES) polymer to prepare mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). The CO2 permeability and CO2/CH4 ideal selectivity of 30 wt% SAPO-34/PES MMM at 0.1 MPa 35 °C were 15 barrer 51, respectively. In our previous paper, PES MMMs using laboratory-made SAPO-34 provided both higher than neat membrane. per...

A mapping F2 population from the cross 'Piel de Sapo' × PI124112 was selectively genotyped to study the genetic control of morphological fruit traits by QTL (Quantitative Trait Loci) analysis. Ten QTL were identified, five for FL (Fruit Length), two for FD (Fruit Diameter) and three for FS (Fruit Shape). At least one robust QTL per character was found, flqs8.1 (LOD = 16.85, R2 = 34%), fdqs12.1 ...

Design/methodology/approach: We conducted a user study in which users evaluated the relevance of documents retrieved by 4 search engines in 2 different health information needs. Users could choose between generalist (Bing, Google, Sapo and Yahoo!) and health-specific search engines (MedlinePlus, SapoSaúde and WebMD). We then analyse the differences between search engines and groups of informati...

The ethanol dispersion method was employed to synthesize a series of MnOx/SAPO-34 catalysts using SAPO-34 with the hierarchical pore structure as zeolite carrier, which were prepared by facile acid treatment citric acid. Physicochemical properties characterized XRD, XPS, BET, TEM, NH3-TPD, SEM, FT-IR, Py-IR, H2-TRP and TG/DTG. NH3-SCR performances evaluated at low temperatures. Results show tha...

Skin symbiotic bacteria on amphibians can play a role in protecting their host against pathogens. Chytridiomycosis, the disease caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Bd, has caused dramatic population declines and extinctions of amphibians worldwide. Anti-Bd bacteria from amphibian skin have been cultured, and skin bacterial communities have been described through 16S rRNA gene amplicon seq...

Molecular sieve catalysts containing transition metals have been attracting attention for their potential applications in various fields, including environmental and industrial catalysis. A Cu-Ce-Zr/SAPO-34 series of molecular were prepared by the impregnation method, effect Zr introduction on selective catalytic reduction NO Cu-Ce/SAPO-34 was explored. Through characterization methods, physica...

Hydrocarbon species trapped in the catalyst that work as the reaction center and govern the conversion and product selectivity of chloromethane transformation were revealed by a very efficient home-made ultra-short contact time pulse reaction system over pre-coked SAPO-34.
