Molecular transport through the nanoporous particles, in particular, zeolite crystallites, is influenced both by intracrystalline diffusion and surface resistance. In comparison to zeolite crystallites with ideal structure, molecular transport in real-world zeolite particles may often be influenced by the surface barriers resulting from various defects at the surface of the crystallite. The pot...

Conversion of glycerol into high yields of 1,2-propanediol in absence of added hydrogen is possible with Pt impregnated NaY zeolite characterized by extra-zeolitic metal particles combined with zeolite Brønsted acidity.

in present study, molecular dynamics simulation of cadmium (ii), lead (ii) and copper (ii) removal from aqueous electrolyte solutions using the ion-exchange process with the zeolite particles was done. the results showed that, most of the particles had the highest affinity of ion exchanging with lead (ii) and the lowest affinity with copper (ii). the calculated mean ion-exchange ratios showed t...

A quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) was utilized to measure the water content in ethanol. For the improvement of measurement sensitivity, the QCM was modified by applying zeolite particles on the surface with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) binder. The measurement performance was examined with ethanol of 1% to 5% water content in circulation. The experimental results showed that the frequency ...

lta zeolite nanoparticles was successfully synthesized from clear solution under controlled conditions using hydrothermal method using tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide as a structural directing agent. the as-synthesized lta zeolite particles were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (sem), fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) spectroscopy, energy di...

Over the years, many strategies have been developed to address the problem of sintering of nanoparticle catalysts, including encapsulating metal nanoparticles in protective shells, and trapping nanoparticles in the cavities of certain zeolites in post-synthesis steps. In general, materials that contain metal nanoparticles that are only accessible via zeolite micropores are intriguing, specifica...

Environmental and/or occupational exposure to minerals, metals, and fibers can cause lung diseases that may develop years after exposure to the agents. The presence of toxic fibers such as asbestos in the environment plus the continuing development of new mineral or vitreous fibers requires a better understanding of the specific physical and chemical features of fibers/particles responsible for...

nickel doped tio2 nano particles (1% w/w) were prepared and immobilized on nax zeolite and after characterization by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem) used as photo catalyts for degradation of orange g. the xrd patterns show that the supported tio2 are crystallized in anatase form and the intensity of the zeolite peaks decreases with the increase of tio2 loading. sc...
