The extraction of gold involves using cyanide which has the potential to impact the environment. Many studies have been done to reduce the environmental effects of cyanide. In this research, the cyanide adsorption on zeolite from gold processing plant tailing dam wastewater was investigated. Results indicated that the pH of the solution, contact time duration, temperature, zeolite amo...

Semiconducting materials such as CdSe, CdS, PbS and GaP are included in crystalline zeolite Y and mordenite and structurally flexible ethylenemethacrylic acid copolymer solid matrices. EXAFS anal sis reveals formation of while the polymer matrices allow agglomeration of larger semiconducting particles. Zeolite anchored structures are distinctively different to small particles with bulk crystal ...

In recent years, natural substances such as zeolite have been used to absorb heavy metals in soil in an attempt to decrease their availability to plants. Compared to other techniques, the use of zeolite is fast, clean, and inexpensive. This research was carried out to investigate the effects of an Iranian natural zeolite (clinoptilolite) on stabilizing Cd-contaminated soil treated with 0.01 M C...

Recently many nanoporous carbons have been synthesized using templating method. On the contrary, carbons can be applied as the template, because carbon can be gasified. Zeolite molecular sieves are crystalline porous solids with intricate pore and channel systems in the molecular size range of 0.3 to ~3 nm. They are widely used in industry as heterogeneous catalysts [1]. Although micropores of ...

The supplementary data have included a full range of TEM pictures of the post-run samples, including 400 oC calcinated MoO3/H-ZSM-5 samples (coked) and the parent H-ZSM-5 (coked), showing the distribution of Mo clusters on the zeolite crystallite external surface, and the observed coke deposition upon the spreading of the Mo species. The Figures S1-S9 are the complementary of the Fig. 8 in the ...

The influence of particles properties on biofilm structure, reactor performance, and energy consumption for denitrifying fluidized bed bioreactors (DFBBRs) using maxi-blast plastic (MX), multi-blast plastic (MB), natural zeolite (NZ), and lava rock (LR) was investigated. The work showed that the particles with sphericity of 0.9 (MB and NZ) maintained a fluffy protruding biofilm and achieved sli...

Time-series hydrothermal syntheses from two organic-cation-free gels with different compositions were employed to study the factors that control the final size of zeolite L crystals. The first gel had a starting K/Al ratio of 10, whereas in the second one it was three times lower. The relatively simple chemical composition of the starting gels and the combination of complementary characterizati...

The synthesis of calcium silicate supported zeolite membrane was carried out by second growth method. The chemical nature of the functionalizing agent on the formation of homogenous zeolite membrane was evaluated. One monomer and two cationic polymers were used: 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS), polyethylenimine (PEI) and polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDDA). The support was subjected ...

2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag Gmb Zeolites are aluminosilicates that are used in a broad field of applications. Because of their ion-exchange capabilities, presence of well-defined rigid cavities, and transparency in the UV–vis/NIR region, zeolites can act as water softeners, catalysts, and host systems for a variety of photoactive guests. In particular, zeolite L, which possesses unidirectional channe...
