In this work, chemical interactions between ozone and zeolite surface active sites are studied in order to propose a process for gaseous ozone removal. Synthetic ZSM-5 zeolites with three different Si/Al2 ratios and similar specific surface areas and microporous volumes were used in this study. Zeolite samples were characterised using Fourier Transform InfraRed spectroscopy (FTIR) and pyridine ...

An alumino-silicate zeolite, Linde Type-A (LTA) has been prepared from aluminium powder and sodium metasilicate by hydrothermal process. The zeolite was characterized by FTIR and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and by measuring the surface acidity using KOH as adsorbate. The surface acidity of LTA zeolite varied greatly with varying synthesized conditions such as crystallization temperature, c...

Since the discovery of zeolites there has been a consistent interest in the potential applications of these microporous structures. Of current particular interest is the possible use of zeolites as storage devices for fuel cells in the hydrogen economy. The adsorption kinetics of zeolites are not fully understood, and therefore the potential of such materials has not been optimized. In this stu...

Zeolite materials are among the relatively cheap and readily available for wastewater treatment. However, performance of zeolite-based systems can be highly affected by material properties. In this study, treatment system based on natural zeolite from Chankanai mines in Kazakhstan was compared with a synthetic purification groundwater. Water quality indices were also developed set selected wate...

ammonia in air can be hazardous to human and animal life and should be removed from the environment. recently the removal of environmental pollutants such as ammonia by means of natural and modified zeolites has attracted a lot of attention and interests. in this study the capability of three iranian natural zeolites (clinoptilolite) in point of view of removal of ammonia from air was investiga...

Using the chemical reduction method, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were effectively synthesized into the zeolite framework in the absence of any heat treatment. Zeolite, silver nitrate, and sodium borohydride were used as an inorganic solid support, a silver precursor, and a chemical reduction agent, respectively. Silver ions were introduced into the porous zeolite lattice by an ion-exchange pa...

a nanocomposite of polyaniline (pani) with natural clinoptilolite (clino) was prepared by chemical oxidative polymerization of anilinium cations in the presence of clinoptilolite dispersion. the pani/clino nanocomposite was characterized using ftir, xrd and sem techniques as well as electrical conductivity measurement using four point probe technique. cyclic voltammetry analysis was used to inv...

Clinoptilolite type of zeolite (CZ) is a promising material for biomedicine and pharmaceutics due to its non-toxicity, thermal stability, expanded surface area, and exceptional ability to adsorb various atoms and organic molecules into micropores. Using multiphoton microscopy, we demonstrated that individual CZ particles produce two-photon excited luminescence and second harmonic generation sig...
