Urban landfill leachate is a high strength wastewater characterized by high concentrations of recalcitrant organic compounds, ammonia and, increasingly, arsenic. The aims of this study were the review on membrane bioreactor, ion exchange and adsorption method for landfill leachate treatment. Membrane bioreactor (MBR) can be used for wastewater and landfill leachate treatment. The most important...

The effects of a sub-nanometer grain boundary in all-silica chabazite (CHA) zeolite membranes on their permeation properties were investigated by non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD). results indicated that at the total pressure 0.5 MPa, 298 K, CO2 selectivity toward CH4 drastically increased due to presence region inside membrane. This was consequence selective condensation boundary. calc...

microporous hydroxy-sodalite zeolite membranes with different morphologies were synthesized via secondary growth technique with vacuum seeding on tubular α-al2o3 supports at two different synthesis conditions (i.e. two different routes). microstructures of the synthesized membranes were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscope (sem) and single gas permeation using ...

Zeolite 4A, synthetic silicate, has been shown to exhibit diverse biological activities such as anti-cancer and anti-oxidant activity. In the present study, we report that the zeolite 4A may improve skin-whitening. We found that zeolite 4A inhibited melanin production in a dose-dependent manner, which has not cytotoxicity. Zeolite 4A also inhibited alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MS...

Temperature-dependent zeolite synthesis has revealed a unique surface morphology, surface area and pore size which influence the immobilization of urease on gold electrode supports for biosensor fabrication. XRD characterization has identified zeolite X (Na) at all crystallization temperatures tested. However, N₂ adsorption and desorption results showed a pore size and pore volume of zeolite X ...

A novel confined-space synthesis method has been developed to synthesize zeolite nanocrystals. Colloidal silica nanoparticles serving as the silica source as well as the hard template were embedded in the mesoporous carbon via in situ polymerization of furfuryl alcohol (FA) in the presence of tri-block copolymer (Pluronic P123), and then reacted with an alkaline aqueous solution (Na2O-Al2O3-H2O...

This study examines the performance of a new adsorbent, hexagonal nanostructured zeolite particles (HNZP) for acetone adsorption and compares the results with that of commercial mobil synthetic zeolite-5 (ZSM-5) type zeolite. The HNZP is a pure siliceous adsorbent with different values of pore diameter and surface area being adjustable by the manufacturing condition. The results indicate that a...
