Abstract: A review. This paper presents an overview of research related to use of surfactant modified natural zeolites (SMZ) in water and wastewater treatment. The most common natural zeolite, widely used as starting material is clinoptilolite, but other natural zeolites have also been used (chabazite, heulandite, mordenite). In the first part, the prepn. methods and the influence of process parameters on the final product properties is reviewed. The discussion is focused on the influence of surfactant concn. in the water phase related to the external cation exchange capacity of the zeolite. The phys.-chem. characterization of raw and modified zeolites by using relevant anal. methods (XRD, SEM, thermal anal., FTIR spectroscopy, DRIFTS) is also presented. Thus, an integrated view of the relation between the structure and the behavior of the modified-zeolites, covering both the compositional and the structural aspects, can be obtained. Following surfactant modification process, the chem. of zeolite surface is greatly changed, allowing zeolites to sorb not only cations and polar orgs. but also nonpolar orgs. and anions, for which untreated zeolites have little or no affinity. Consequently, the area of application of natural zeolites in water and wastewater treatment is greatly extended. The most relevant applications of surfactant-modified zeolites for the removal of anionic (chromate, phosphate, arsenate), cationic (mercury, cadmium), org. pollutants (BTEX, chlorophenol, perchloroethylene, fulvic acids, dyes, pesticides, ionizable org. solutes, PAHs) and microorganisms are reviewed. The data reported in the literature suggest that naturally occurring zeolites modified with cationic surfactants can be considered as potential sorbents for the removal of the most important categories of pollutants from polluted waters.

Abstract: A review. Recently, numerous approaches have been studied for the development of cheaper and more effective adsorbents contg. natural polymers. Among these, polysaccharides such as chitin and starch and their derivs. (chitosan, cyclodextrin) deserve particular attention. These biopolymers represent an interesting and attractive alternative as adsorbents because of their particular structure, physico-chem. characteristics, chem. stability, high reactivity and excellent selectivity towards arom. compds. and metals resulting from the presence of chem. reactive groups (hydroxyl, acetamido or amino functions) in polymer chains. Moreover, it is well known that polysaccharides which are abundant, renewable and biodegradable resources, have a capacity to assoc. by phys. and chem. interactions with a wide variety of mols. In framework of the submitted paper, some hybridized adsorption materials esp. on the base of natural clinoptilolite have been evaluated towards a broad range of pollutants (inorg. anions and azodyes).

Abstract: A review. Mol. sieves are porous cryst. materials, mostly synthetic or natural zeolites, that contain well-defined pores of precise and uniform size. The term zeolite originally described natural cryst. aluminosilicates, but now includes many different materials such as aluminophosphates or gallium silicates. For decades the microporous and mesoporous zeolite materials have been considered for medical use due to their biol. properties and stability in biol. environments. Zeolites have been studied as drug carriers, dietary supplements, antimicrobial agents, or adjuvants in anticancer therapy. Zeolite nanocrystals can be combined in situ with superparamagnetic magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles in the hydrothernmal synthesis procedure. High enzyme adsorption and good biocatalytic performance can be seen with magnetite/zeolite composite nanoparticles. Zeolite of the CuX type can be used as a carrier for the antitumor drug cyclophosphamide. In vivo tests show that the antitumor effects of the CuX zeolite-cyclophosphamide system are similar to those of cyclophosphamide alone. Ion-exchanged zeolites can be also used for storage and delivery of nitric oxide (NO). Zeolite surface coatings offer antimicrobial protection via controlled release of antimicrobial agents that can be applied to different surfaces or incorporated in various polymer types. Zeolitic materials and drugs can be given simultaneously to patients without loss of individual pharmaceutical effects of each product. Zeolite matrix can also stabilize erythromycin solns. A com. product with diisopropylsebacate/ethanol soln. of 4% erythromycin and zinc acetate (Zineryt) has been compared to analogical system where active compds. were loaded into a porous material. Natural clinoptilolite is the main active component of the antidiarrheal drug acting as adsorbent of bile acids, aflatoxin B and glucose. Clinoptilolite can be also used in adjuvant anticancer therapy. The new antacid drug Neutacid with neutralizing capacity from purified natural zeolite-clinoptilolite from Cuba can be used in treatment of hyperacidity in patients with gastric dyspepsia and gastric/duodenal ulcer. Mesoporous material MCM-41 with pore size tunability and functionalization can encapsulate various drug mols. and release them in controlled manner. Zeolites contg. silver ions are used as antimicrobial agents. Zeolites are the main ingredient of com. anti-hemorrhagic agents. [on SciFinder(R)]

Abstract: A review. Heavy metals, fine suspensions, and org. matter emitted by industrial processes such as paper processing, paint and pigment prodn., textile manufg., food and cosmetics operations, electronics fabrication, mines, and ceramic prodn. are very dangerous pollutants. Synthetic and, more increasingly, polymers from renewable sources are used alone or in complex systems to enhance the efficiency of sepn. processes. Multicomponent ionic systems may present a better approach. Their enhanced mech., thermal, and adsorption properties are comparable to those of their components alone. This chapter summarizes our investigations of novel materials based on chitosan: (1) composites with clinoptilolite (a common natural zeolite) and their applications for removing heavy metal ions (Cu2+, Co2+, and Ni2+); and (2) prepn. of pos. charged nonstoichiometric interpolyelectrolyte complexes as colloidal dispersions and their efficiency in solid and liq. sepns. in comparison to chitosan alone. The adsorption capacity of the chitosan-clinoptilolite composite abruptly increases up to a zeolite content of ∼20 wt%. The max. adsorption capacities are 9.04 mmol/g for Cu2+, 6.4 mmol/g for Ni2+, and 3.4 mmol/g for Co2+. One advantage of using nonstoichiometric interpolyelectrolyte complexes as specialized flocculants is the broadness of the flocculation window-more than double at an optimum dose lower than that of chitosan. Some synthetic polycations were also used to prep. novel multicomponent ionic systems with better efficiency in sepn. processes than other polycations. [on SciFinder(R)]

Abstract: A review; research on pure samples of HEU-type zeolites modified by d- and f-block transition elements and Pb is reviewed. The interest on such modified HEU-type zeolites mainly arises from their use in pollution abatement, and for their potential catalytic properties. In addn., new composite materials composed of transition-metal loaded crystals with org. complexes stabilized on the zeolite substrate are gaining importance for versatile applications. If sorption is governed by ion-exchange, the structural distribution of the transition elements can be detd. by single-crystal XRD. In more complicated cases, where an intense metal accumulation is obsd. on the surface of the crystals, the structural characteristics can only be defined using a combination of microscopic, spectroscopic, and thermal techniques. Detailed crystal-structure information is available for HEU-type crystals completely cation exchanged by Ag+, Pb2+, Cd2+, Mn2+, and Cu2+. Cd2+, Cu2+ and Mn2+ mainly occupy two extra-framework sites: one in the center of the ten-membered ring, octahedrally coordinated by six H2O mols., and one in the eight-membered ring, coordinated to framework oxygen and addnl. H2O. Ag+ and Pb2+ do not occupy the center of the ten-membered ring but are shifted towards the framework walls. Complementary microscopic, spectroscopic, and thermal data (e.g. SEM-EDS, IR, EPR, NMR, EXAFS, XPS, RBS, DTA, TPD) on heulandite and clinoptilolite interacted with Co, Ni, Cu, Pd and Hg indicated non-homoionic and non-stoichiometric metal-loading. Excessive accumulation on the crystal surface, due to adsorption and surface pptn. phenomena, was commonly obsd. Only very low incorporation of trivalent ions of lanthanides/rare-earth elements into the heulandite channel system was exptl. achieved. Th4+- and UO22+-ions interact significantly with heulandite but the metal sorption is mainly attributed to adsorption and surface pptn. processes. [on SciFinder(R)]

Vol. 103(1-3), pp. 72-81 
article
Abstract: The well-known Dubinin-Radushkevich adsorption isotherm is extensively used for vapor adsorption on activated carbon and its use was extended to cover the cases of the adsorption of org. compds. from aq. solns. and the ion exchange of metals on several porous materials. In the later cases, the use of the Dubinin-Radushkevich adsorption isotherm is questionable as it is not taking into account the pore structure of the materials used. In the present paper the more general Dubinin-Astakhov adsorption isotherm was used modified by introducing a soly.-normalized adsorption potential. Then, it was applied in exptl. isotherms to det. adsorption energy and heterogeneity parameter for the ion exchange of Pb2+ in the zeolite clinoptilolite. The Dubinin-Astakhov adsorption isotherm represents the exptl. data well and in the same time provides the heterogeneity parameter of the material which is an important adsorbent phys. parameter as well as the adsorption energy. The calcd. values were n = 5.2 and E ≃ 18 kJ/mol, resp. An extended review is conducted by applying the proposed isotherm in exptl. data found in the literature for clinoptilolite cation exchange systems (22 exptl. isotherms, 175 equil. points). The av. value of the heterogeneity parameter is n = 5.84 (35.8% deviation) with a range of 2.1-10.4. The heterogeneity parameter value is strongly influenced from the structure of the adsorbent and in lesser extend from the cation exchanged. The av. value of the adsorption energy is E = 16.7 (19.2% deviation) with a range of 9.47-21.74 kJ/mol. [on SciFinder(R)]

Abstract: A review discussing the use of natural and synthetic zeolites for drying of linear C1-C5-alcs. and C3-C5-isoalcs. The drying efficiency was presented in terms of dynamic and equil. adsorption activities, a length of mass-exchange zone, a degree of utilization of the adsorbent layer and its working time. The effect of the zeolite cations and temp. on the drying was shown. The two mechanisms of alc. drying, competing adsorption and mol.-sieving effect, were considered. High efficiency of synthetic zeolites, esp. zeolite NaA, was noted. Natural zeolites, such as phillipsite, chabazite and erionite (enriched with sodium and calcium cations) were shown to be fully competitive to synthetic zeolite NaA. [on SciFinder(R)]

2010Coalbed Nat. Gas, pp. 145-185 inproceedings
Abstract: A review. Coalbed natural gas (CBNG) extn. in the western United States has expanded in the last decade to help supplement the increasing demand for energy. Long-term monitoring studies are useful for developing optimum uses for CBNG produced water and protecting natural recourses (e.g., soils, plants, and surface and groundwater) in the Powder River Basin (PRB). The specific objectives of this chapter were to: (1) continue monitoring CBNG outfall and disposal pond water in the PRB established by McBeth et al., (2003a) and Jackson and Reddy (2007a) for two more years; (2) det. geochem. of CBNG outfalls and disposal pond water; (3) investigate changes in pH, SAR (sodium adsorption ratio), and trace element concns. over time in CBNG disposal ponds; (4) det. possible leaching of trace elements from the CBNG disposal pond sediments; and (5) evaluate potential beneficial uses of CBNG disposal pond water in the PRB, Wyoming. The CBNG outfall water, disposal pond water, and sediment samples were collected from five sub-basins of PRB including Cheyenne River (CR), Belle Fourche River (BFR), Little Powder River (LPR), Powder River (PR), and Tongue River (TR) in 2006 and 2007. Water samples were analyzed for pH, EC (elec. cond.), TDS (total dissolved solids), major cations, anions, and trace elements. Sediment samples were analyzed for trace elements using toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP). Geochem. data anal. was performed using MINTEQA2 model to det. speciation, complexation, and mineral satn. processes. Statistical anal. was conducted to det. differences among sediments in watersheds and generate potential descriptive models. A review of 7 years of water quality monitoring data including the study discussed in this chapter for CBNG produced water in disposal ponds suggests that in all watersheds pH commonly exceeded the limit for irrigation water, wildlife and livestock, and aquatic life. However, over time we expect a decrease in pH due to reentry of atm. CO2 (g) into the disposal ponds. In some watersheds, such as PR and TR, SAR exceeded the limit for irrigation water. In these watersheds treatment of CBNG produced water with clinoptilolite, a locally available zeolite, or electrodialysis reversal (EDR) process may help lower SAR and maximize the beneficial use of CBNG produced water for irrigation. Major (e.g., Ca, Mg, K) or trace element (e.g., Cr, Fe, Ba, Cu, Mn, Zn, B, Cl, NO3, PO4, SO4, As, and Se) concns., except for Al and F, in CBNG produced water in disposal ponds meet water quality criteria for all uses (e.g., irrigation, wildlife and livestock, and aquatic life) in all watersheds in the PRB. Further long-term monitoring of CBNG outfalls, disposal ponds, and sediment leachates in the PRB for geochem. processes will help develop trend anal. to predict toxicity and leaching potential of trace elements from these disposal ponds as well as developing optimum uses for CBNG produced water in the PRB.

Abstract: A review. Zeolites are microporous cryst. solids with well-defined structures. Generally they contain silicon, aluminum and oxygen in their framework, and cations, water and/or other mols. within their pores. Because of their unique porous properties, zeolites are used in a variety of applications: petrochem. cracking, ion-exchange, and in the sepn. and removal of gases and solvents. The framework structure contain linked channels, which are of the right size to allow small mols. to enter. They are often also referred to as mol. sieves. The ability to sorb certain mols., preferentially while excluding others, has opened up a wide range of mol. sieving applications. They can remove atm. pollutants, such as engine exhaust gases and ozone-depleting CFCs. Zeolites can also be used to sep. harmful orgs. from water. Zeolites are used in water treatment mainly for removal of NH4+ ions from the urban and industrial waste waters, for removal of heavy metal cations from the industrial waste waters, and removal of radio nuclides from nuclear plant waters. Not only natural zeolites but also the surface modified zeolites become more important in the pollution decreasing. The most widespread natural zeolite is clinoptilolite whose deposits are in the porous rocks in Donje Jesenje. The possibilities of the usage of natural zeolites as ionic exchangers and sorbents of low price in the processes of the removal of printing industry pollutant, are presented in the work. Each conventional printing process (offset, intaglio, flexog., and screen printing) can be divided into four major steps: photog. process, platemaking, press and finishing operations. Printing operations use materials that may affect air, water, and land: certain chems. involved in printing volatilize, which contributes to air emissions; other chems. may be discharged to drains and impact freshwater or marine ecosystems; and solid wastes contribute to the existing local and regional disposal problems. Emissions into the air mainly consist of org. solvents. Some substances may cause unpleasant odors or affect health and the environment. The four top toxic chems. released, toluene, Me Et ketone, xylene and 1,1,1-trichloroethane, are all the solvents of high volatility. Toluene comprises roughly 70% of the total chems. released and transferred by the printing industry. Toluene is used heavily in the intaglio printing as an ink solvent, but is also used throughout printing for cleaning purposes. Toluene can be recovered by sorption, using active carbon, or zeolites. Discharges to water bodies mainly consist of silver, copper, aluminum, chromium, org. solvents and other toxic org. compds. In photog. processing, a used fixative contains higher concns. of silver than other spent chems., usually between 3 and 7 g dm-3 Ag+. The max. silver concn. in spent rinse-water are 50 mg dm-3. Chem. pptn., electrolytic recovery units, reverse osmosis and evapn./distn. are used to reduce silver concn. in spent fixative's waters. If ammonium is present in waste stream, the ammonium must be removed prior to evapn./ distn. This can be done using activated carbon or zeolite. Ion exchange can be used to recover silver from rinse waters. Typical waste streams of platemaking operations include: damaged or used plates, wastewaters contg. acids, alkalis, heavy metals, solvents, plate coatings, developers and rinse waters. Metal-contg. effluents from the platemaking operations for offset and intaglio printing, can be treated by applying method of filtration using zeolites. [on SciFinder(R)]

Abstract: The influence of methylene blue adsorption to different clays on its photodegradation was studied. Methylene blue in solution was decomposed by sunlight in a zero-order process. Adsorption to some clay minerals (sepiolite and vermiculite) and a zeolite (clinoptilolite) accelerated the degradation process, and converted it to a first-order reaction. On the other hand, adsorption to other clay minerals (palygorskite and montmorillonite) stabilized the dye and prevented its degradation. Interestingly, in the clay-dye complexes that exhibited stability, clear metachromasy of the adsorbed methylene blue occurred, whereas the effect was not observed in the clay-dye complexes that underwent photodegradation.[on SciFinder (R)]

AB The present work aims to study the bulk and surface properties of the TiO2/clinoptilolite composite on the crystalline structure, superficial area, bandgap energy, zeta potential, particle size distribution, and chemical composition; in order to analyze the effect of the clinoptilolite proportion in the photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. TiO2/clinoptilolite composites were prepared by adding different mass proportions of clinoptilolite to a sol-gel bath containing TiCl4 as the titania precursor. Surface charge studies explain the larger sensitivity to composite ratio observed in the photocatalytic degradation of anionic pollutants than in cationic dyes. An optimum TiO2/clinoptilolite ratio of 90/10 was found to be the most efficient in terms of lower tendency to agglomeration, largest surface area, and increased crystallite size. Improvement in composite surface area occurs only at low clinoptilolite wt% and seems to be caused by lower agglomeration of nanometric TiO2 and acid-induced porosity in the
zeolite.

AB A series of nanostructured CeO2/Clinoptilolite catalysts with different
loadings of ceria were prepared by redox reaction followed by wet
impregnation method and tested for oxidation of xylene. The catalysts
were characterized by XRD, FESEM, BET, FTIR, and TG-DTG analysis. XRD
data confirmed the formation of CeO2 as the crystalline phase with an
average crystallite size of about 11.6 nm for three ceria loading of 10,
20, and 30%. FESEM and size distribution analyses showed that
nanocatalysts have nanometric particles with an average size of 37.46
nm. Specific surface analysis revealed that the synthesized
nanocatalysts had large enough surface area for catalytic oxidation of
p-xylene. Furthermore, the results showed that the catalytic performance
of the supported CeO2 catalysts was much higher than that of treated
clinoptilolite, in particular, CeO2 (30%)/Clinoptilolite exhibited the
highest conversion, 98% at 350 degrees C. It is observed that increasing
both the xylene concentration and GHSV results in decreasing of the
xylene conversion; however, even at higher concentrations of xylene
(3000 ppm), the nanostructured catalyst has still enough destruction
ability to reduce the pollutant. A simplified reaction mechanism was
proposed with respect to the behavior of adsorbed species on the
catalyst surface to clarify the path through which the reaction
components interact with each other. (c) 2012 American Institute of

AB Two kinds of activated carbons modified by Na+ impregnation after
pre-treatments involving oxidation by nitric acid or acidification by
hydrochloric acid (denoted as AC/N-Na and AC/HCl-Na, respectively), were
used as adsorbents to remove NH4+-N. The surface features of samples
were investigated by BET, SEM, XRD and FT-IR. The adsorption experiments
were conducted in equilibrium and kinetic conditions. Influencing
factors such as initial solution pH and initial concentration were
investigated. A possible mechanism was proposed. Results showed that
optimal NH4+-N removal efficiency was achieved at a neutral pH condition
for the modified ACs. The Langmuir isotherm adsorption equation provided
a better fit than other models for the equilibrium study. The adsorption
kinetics followed both the pseudo second-order kinetics model and
intra-particle kinetic model. Chemical surface analysis indicated that
Na+ ions form ionic bonds with available surface functional groups
created by pre-treatment, especially oxidation by nitric acid, thus
increasing the removal efficiency of the modified ACs for NH4+-N
Na+-impregnated ACs had a higher removal capability in removing NH4+-N
than unmodified AC, possibly resulting from higher numbers of surface
functional groups and better intra-particle diffusion. The good fit of
Langmuir isotherm adsorption to the data indicated the presence of
monolayer NH4+-N adsorption on the active homogenous sites within the
adsorbents. The applicability of pseudo second-order and intra-particle
kinetic models revealed the complex nature of the adsorption mechanism.
The intra-particle diffusion model revealed that the adsorption process
consisted not only of surface adsorption but also intra-particle
diffusion.

AB In this study the catalytic activity of Na-rich and MO-containing
natural clinoptilolite (MO - nanopartides of NiO, ZnO, or Cu2O) was
studied in the pyrolysis of hardwood lignin. The clinoptilolite samples
exhibit different catalytic activities which depend mainly on the type
of the nano-oxide. The presence of nano-oxides did not affect the
porosity of the clinoptilolite framework but influenced its acidity.
However, it seems that acidity of the lattice did not influence the
catalytic activity of the clinoptilolite in the pyrolisis of hardwood
lignin. The number of Lewis acid sites increased significantly for the
ZnO- and Cu2O-containing clinoptilolite whereas for the NiO-sample it
did not change appreciably in comparison to the parent zeolite. The
amount of phenols in the as-produced bio-oil varies from 39% for
ZnO-clinoptilolite, 43% for Na-rich clinoptilolite, to 50 and 54% for
Cu2O- and NiO-containing samples, respectively. The highest yield of
phenols obtained in the presence of NiO-containing clinoptilolite is
ascribed to a synergetic interaction of the clinoptilolite lattice and
nano-NiO particles. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

out over a clinoptilolite supported nanocatalyst modified by NH4Cl. A
series of bifunctional nanocatalysts, CuO-ZnO-Al2O3 (CZA) over
Clinoptilolite with different loading of CZA, were prepared via
coprecipitation method and their catalytic performance were compared in
a fixed-bed high pressure reactor. The catalysts were characterized by
XRD, BET, FESEM, FTIR and TPD-NH3 techniques. The physicochemical
analysis showed that with NH4Cl treatment, the specific surface area of
clinoptilolite increased obviously, while its crystallinity decreased
slightly. It was found that the crystallinity of clinoptilolite was
dramatically changed, whereas crystallinity of CuO has not been
influenced significantly by the increase of CZA content. Moreover, with
increasing the CZA/Clinoptilolite ratio, the specific surface area of
nanocatalysts decreased. It is shown that the CZA particle size is
distributed between 30.5-131.2 nm with an average size of 70.6 nm in
which 77.8% of the particles are in the range of below 100 nm. The
TPD-NH3 patterns showed that the number of the acid sites of the
nanocatalysts decreased with the increase the CZA content. The influence
of reaction pressure was investigated, confirming that the optimal
reaction pressure for this catalyst was 40 bar. The catalytic
performance is shown that the CZA/Clinoptilolite = 2 nanocatalyst had
higher activity, selectivity due to its higher acidic sites.

nanocatalysts. Activated carbon was obtained from pine cone chemically
activated using ZnCl2 and modified by H3PO4. Natural zeolite of
clinoptilolite was modified by acid treatment with HCl, while nano-ceria
was synthesized via redox method. Mixed supports of carbon-zeolite and
carbonceria were prepared and palladium was dispersed over them via
impregnation method. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray
diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM),
Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area (BET), Fourier transform infrared
spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric (TG) techniques.
Characterization of nanocatalysts revealed a good morphology with an
average particle size in a nano range, and confirmed the formation of
nano-ceria with an average crystallite size below 60 nm. BET analysis
indicated a considerable surface area for catalysts (similar to 1000
m(2)center dot g(-1)). FTIR patterns demonstrated that the surface
groups of synthesized catalysts are in good agreement with the patterns
of materials applied in catalyst synthesis. The performance of catalysts
was assessed in a low-pressure catalytic oxidation pilot in the
temperature range of 100A degrees C-250A degrees C. According to the
reaction data, the synthesized catalysts have been shown to be so
advantageous in the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs),
representing high catalytic performance of 98% for the abatement of
xylene at 250A degrees C. Furthermore, a reaction network is proposed
for catalytic oxidation of xylene over nanocatalysts.

on the exposed surface cation exchange property of the support. Despite
having a substantially higher loading of nickel boride, the alpha-Al2O3
supported catalyst exhibits a significantly lower catalytic activity for
the hydrogenation of p-nitrophenol. Use of a supporting material like
clinoptilolite allows the re-use of the catalyst up to three times.
However, the catalytic activity decreases after each hydrogenation
process. Unsupported nickel boride and alpha-Al2O3 supported nickel
boride result in unwanted trace impurities in the final p-aminophenol
crystalline product. Such impurities are absent using clinoptilolite and

AB Hierarchical clinoptilolite and L zeolites are prepared using optimized
tandem dealumination desilication treatments. The main challenge in the
postsynthetic modification of these zeolites is the high Al content,
requiring a tailored clealumination prior to the desilication step. For
natural clinoptilolite, sequential acid treatments using aqueous HCl
solutions were applied, while for L a controlled dealumination using
ammonium hexafluorosilicate is required. Subsequent desilication by NaOH
treatment yields mesopore surfaces of up to 4-fold (clinoptilolite, 64
m(2) g(-1), L, 135 m(2) g(-1)) relative to the parent zeolite
(clinoptilolite, 15 m(2) g(-1); L 45 m(2) g(-1)). A thorough
characterization sheds light on the composition, crystallinity,
porosity, morphology, coordination, and acidity of the modified
clinoptilolite and L zeolites. It is elaborated that, besides the degree
of dealumination, the resulting Al distribution is a critical
precondition for the following mesopore formation by desilication.
Adsorption experiments of Cu2+ and methylene blue from aqueous solutions
and the catalytic evaluation in alkylations and Knoevenagel condensation
evidence the superiority of the hierarchical zeolites, as compared to
their purely microporous counterparts. Finally, the postsynthetic routes
for clinoptilolite and L are generalized with other recently reported
modification strategies, and presented in a comprehensive overview.

sweeping gas flow rate and types of catalysts on the pyrolysis product
yields. The optimal sweeping gas flow rate is 100 cm3 min1. In order to
increase the oil yield, biomass pyrolysis experiments were performed in
a fixed bed reactor with two selected catalysts, namely sepiolite and
clinoptilolite. All experiments were conducted in a nitrogen atmosphere
with a heating rate of 300 degrees C min1, pyrolysis temperature of 550
degrees C, and mean particle size of +0.60.85 mm. In the experiments,
all the catalysts were used with various percentages, and the effects of
the variable catalysts on the yields and chemical composition of the
oils obtained were investigated. Oil yield reached 29.5% with the use of
sepiolite and 32.1% with clinoptilolite, while it was only 18.9% without
a catalyst. Chromatographic and spectroscopic studies on the pyrolytic
oil showed that the oil obtained from thistle could be used as a

AB BACKGROUND: The effect of Pd loading, xylene concentration and GHSV on
xylene oxidation was tested over Pd/CeO2(30%)-clinoptilolite
nanocatalysts at low temperatures. The catalysts were prepared by acid
treatment of clinoptilolite, followed by the incipient wetness method of
synthesized ceria and modified clinoptilolite in PdCl2 solution. The
synthesized nanocatalysts were characterized by XRD, FESEM, EDAX, TEM,
BET, FTIR and TG-DTG analysis. RESULTS: The XRD patterns confirmed the
formation of crystalline ceria with an average crystallite size of 11.8
nm. FESEM images showed nanostructures in cavities of natural zeolite,
brought about by ceria incorporation and acid activation. TEM analysis
showed high dispersion of Pd with a size distribution between 6.6 and
36.7 nm. The quantitative analysis showed that the specific surface area
of Pd(1%)/CeO2(30%)-clinoptilolite was 77 m2 g1. The results showed that
Pd(1%)/CeO2(30%)-clinoptilolite is the most appropriate catalyst, with
the conversion more than 90% at 275 degrees C. CONCLUSIONS: Experimental
results established effective performance and durability for the
catalysts. As a result, clinoptilolite modification and ceria
incorporation significantly altered the samples' morphology at
nanoscale, improving the structure of composites and distribution of
noble metals. A reaction path was suggested based on the
adsorption-migration of species to reveal the mechanism of p-xylene
oxidation over nanocatalysts. (c) 2012 Society of Chemical Industry

depended strongly on the initial RY 125 dye solution concentrations. The
photocatalyst exhibited a good performance for discoloration and
aromatic-ring opening processes at all studied concentrations (25, 50

AB Background: It is imperative to eliminate bacteria present in water in
order to avoid problems in healthy. Escherichia coli and Salmonella
typhi bacteria are two common pollutants and they are developing
resistance to some of the most used bactericide. Therefore new biocide
materials are being tested. Thus, gold nanoparticles are proposed to
inhibit the growth of these two microorganisms.
Results: Gold nanoparticles were supported onto clinoptilolite,
mordenite and faujasite zeolites. Content of gold in materials varied
between 2.3 and 2.8 wt%. The size, dispersion and roughness of gold
nanoparticles were highly dependent of the zeolite support. The
faujasite support was the support where the 5 nm nanoparticles were
highly dispersed. The efficiency of gold-zeolites as bactericides of
Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi was determined by the zeolite
support.
Conclusions: Gold nanoparticles dispersed on zeolites eliminate
Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi at short times. The biocidal
properties of gold nanoparticles are influenced by the type of support
which, indeed, drives key parameters as the size and roughness of
nanoparticles. The more actives materials were pointed out Au-faujasite.
These materials contained particles sized 5 nm at surface and eliminate
90-95% of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi colonies.

this work, a novel macro- and meso-porous hierarchical material,
MCM-41/diatomite, has successfully been synthesized from natural
diatomite and tetraethoxysilane by basic hydrothermal method. Nitrogen
adsorption/desorption isotherms, low angle XRD and SEM analysis were
carried out to character the multiple porous structure and morphology of
MCM-41/diatomite. The resultant compound displayed high specific surface
area (862 similar to 1041 m(2)/g) and macro-meso-porous hierarchical
structure. The morphology of MCM-41/diatomite could be various, such as
worm-like, grape-like, flocky, and acaleph-like, due to different ratio
between TEOS, PEG, and NaOH. Moreover, the results of adsorption
experiments show that some of the resultant MCM-41/diatomite display
stronger adsorption capabilities than simply mesoporous MCM-41, due to
the macro-meso-porous hierarchical structure, which would further extend
the application of MCM-41/diatomite as adsorbent and catalyst support.

AB In this study, a natural zeolite clinoptilolite-type was impregnated
through homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation with silver
nanoparticles. The synthesis of Ag nanoparticles was carried out by
chemical reduction of silver nitrate (AgNO3) with sodium borohydride
(NaBH4). In the case of homogeneous nucleation, colloidal solution of Ag
nanoparticles at concentrations of 1, 2 and 4 parts per million was
added and magnetically mixed with the porous material. With respect to
heterogeneous nucleation, a solution of clinoptilolite and silver
nitrate (0.01 M) was prepared and stirred; subsequently, the reduction
of Ag was possible due to the addition of an aqueous solution of sodium
borohydride. For the structural characterization, transmission electron
microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and infrared spectroscopy (IR)
techniques were carried out. The results were compared and discussed in
both types of nucleation.

AB The design and preparation of a new "self-protected" zeolite catalyst
are reported in this paper for the first time, in order to face the
challenges arising from environmental protection, in selective catalytic
degrading of tobacco specific nitrosamine (TSNA) carcinogens in
environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). A new method to synthesize NaY
zeolite with uniform microsphere morphology via an organic amine TMAOH
as bifunctional template is reported in this study. The spherical
zeolite is prepared by a one-step hydrothermal crystallization without
any post-treatment or other shape-directing agent. It has a rugged
surface like a cluster of crystal grains and its crystallization process
is monitored in detail by means of XRD and SEM. To assess how the
zeolite morphology affects its catalytic performance in complex systems,
this material was directly mixed with tobacco shred and added into
cigarettes to in situ degrade TSNA in smoke. As a result, the clustered
zeolite microsphere can avoid the interference of particulate matter in
smoke and shows a high selectivity in the removal of TSNA. This
synthetic method offers a novel way of preparing zeolites with a
spherical morphology, which has great potential application in the
fields of catalysis, adsorption and separation.

XRD, and thermal methods. The prepared composite was used as a catalyst
in the photodegradation process of p-aminophenol in aqueous solution
under UV irradiation. The effect of some key operating parameters such
as catalyst dosage, temperature, the initial concentration of the
pollutant, and initial pH of the solutions on the degradation process of
the pollutant was studied. The primary objective was to determine the
optimal conditions for each of the parameters. UV-vis spectrophotometric
measurements were performed for the determination of degradation and
mineralization extents. The optimal operation parameters were found as
follows: pH 5, 17.5 mg.L-1 of catalyst loading, and 10 ppm of dye
concentration. The CdS particles out of zeolite framework do not show
significant degradation efficiency. The degradation process obeyed
first-order kinetics.

AB Cu-containing natural and synthetic clinoptilolite were prepared by Cu
cation exchange and impregnation with copper nitrate solution. The
samples were characterized and tested for the synthesis of dimethyl
carbonate. The state of Cu(I) and Cu(II) species was proved by in situ
FTIR spectroscopy using CO and NO as probe molecules. The observed bands
of vCu(I)-CO and vCu(II)-NO modes are relatively broad indicating a
location of the Cu cations at several sites in the zeolite lattice.
Cu-clinoptilolite catalysts oxidize CO and NO to a certain extent even
at room temperature where CO2 is partly captured in the zeolite
cavities.
The interaction of the catalysts with MeOH/CO/O-2 gas mixtures was
studied by in situ FTIR spectroscopy and operando DRIFTS/MS. Oxygenated
products like dimethoxy methane and methyl formate were found besides
CO2 in the gas phase while formate, methyl formate and methoxy species
were adsorbed at the catalyst surface. In contrast to Cu-Y catalysts no
dimethyl carbonate formation could be detected. Obviously, the different
channel system of clinoptilolite and the distinct lower BET surface area
are disadvantageous concerning dimethyl carbonate formation. (C) 2012

AB In this research nano gamma-Al2O3 catalyst was synthesized through
precipitation process then characterized and utilized for methanol
dehydration reaction in a slurry batch reactor in route to the indirect
synthesis of the dimethyl ether (DME). In this venue, effects of the key
parameters on methanol conversion and catalyst stability were
investigated. Moreover, the internal and external mass transfer
resistances were eliminated; hence the intrinsic kinetics controlled the
reaction. Therefore, the optimum conditions for temperature, methanol
concentration, catalyst mass and stirrer speed were determined to be 300
degrees C, 1.18 mol/l, 1.5 g and 1100 rpm, respectively. Next, different
reaction rate equations from literature were applied to the measured
experimental data where their generality compared to a new reaction rate
equation examined. Ultimately, artificial neural networks applied to
determine a model for the reaction rate estimation. It has been shown
that the proposed reaction rate equation might be used rather
satisfactorily to provide a base model for the neural networks;
consequently a very good proximity to the reaction dynamics resulted.

AB Municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) bottom ash (BA) was converted
to zeolitic-type adsorbent materials by hydrothermal conversion under
strongly alkaline conditions. The conversion product was determined to
be a mixture of sodium aluminum silicate hydrate (SASH) (Na2O center dot
Al2O3 center dot 1.68SiO(2)center dot 1.73H(2)O) and tobermorite
(Ca5Si6O16(OH)(2 center dot)4H(2)O). The BET specific surface area was
22.1 m(2)/g, which represented a significant gain compared to the BA
(4.6 m(2)/g) due to the formation of micropores and mesopores. The
converted BA demonstrated promising performance for application as a
sorbent towards several heavy metals (oxyanions of As(V), and Cd2+,
Co2+, Ni2+, Pb2+, and Zn2+). Its performance was found to be generally
superior to that of a mainly clinoptilolite natural zeolite, achieving
greater sorption extents and better stabilizing capability of
contaminated sediments. At a lower dosage rate (50 mg sorbent per gram
sediment) to that of natural zeolite, converted BA achieved greater than
80% reduction of cationic heavy metal concentrations in sediment
porewater. These results suggest a promising route for reutilization of
MSWI-BA, which can greatly enhance the sustainability of waste
incineration technology. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB novel heterogeneous catalyst for degradation of phenol has been
synthesized. Dispersed metallic clusters of iron loaded on to
clinoptilolite by impregnation method. Clinoptilolite belongs to the
broad family of natural zeolites. The influences of pH, the mass ratio
of iron to clinoptilolite, the ratio of hydrogen peroxide to phenol and
catalyst loading on phenol degradation were investigated. An
autocatalytic heterogeneous-homogeneous kinetic model was proposed for
this reaction. Experiments were performed, using a stirred batch reactor
under mild conditions with 100 mg L-1 initial phenol concentration
applying Fe/clinoptilolite as a catalyst and H2O2 as an oxidant. This
new heterogeneous Fenton-like system resulted in a nearly total
elimination of phenol and 70% COD removal during 30 min. In order to
examine the effect of run time on the activity and stability of the
catalyst, the degradation reaction was carried out applying a continuous
packed bed reactor. It was observed that during 30 h time on stream no
change in the activity of the catalyst or any structural deformation of
the particles was occurred. A negligible release of iron from the
catalyst during the reaction (6 ppm) may be related to the appropriate
stability of the latter. (C) 2012 The Korean Society of Industrial and

AB The Friedel-Crafts benzoylation of biphenyl (BP) was carried out under
liquid-phase batch conditions using raw and modified clinoptilolite
zeolites as catalysts. Solventless benzoylation of BP with benzoyl
chloride preferentially gave p-monoacylated product,
4-phenyl-benzophenone (4-PBP), as the main product for all catalysts
used and only small amount of diacylated product, 4,4'-dibenzoylbiphenyl
(4,4'-DBBP) was observed. The highest yield of 4-PBP was achieved by
using HT-823 zeolite as catalyst. Calcined zeolites, except the
clinoptilolite calcined at 1,023 K, are more active than their raw
counterparts. Raw clinoptilolite gave 4-PBP yield of 48.5% while the
HT-823 proves to be a highly efficient catalyst giving a very high
selectivity to 4-PBP (similar to 98.5%) with the conversion of BP
similar to 86.9% at 453 K. The results revealed that zeolite HT-823 is
the best catalyst for the benzoylation of biphenyl to 4-PBP. Also,
increasing the reaction temperature appeared to play a significant role
on the 4-PBP yield.

modified zeolite was subjected to FESEM, XRD, WDX, XRF and specific
surface area analysis. A correlation for the intrinsic catalytic
reaction rate incorporating both Fe2+ and dissolved oxygen concentration
as a function of reaction temperature has been presented. The effect of
the modified zeolite aggregate particle size on the iron removal
kinetics has been investigated. It was shown that for particles larger
than 150 mu m, diffusion through the mesopores of the zeolite aggregate
is rate controlling. The effective diffusion coefficient through the
particles at RT has been calculated as 2.3 x 10(-6) cm(2) s(-1). It is
shown that liquid phase molecular diffusion within the mesopores is the
dominating mass transfer mechanism. (C) 2011 The Korean Society of

of humic acids from water on Ag doped natural and synthetic zeolite
envisaging the advanced drinking water treatment. Synthetic zeolite ZA
nanoparticles were synthesized from natural clinoptilolite as Si source
and sodium aluminate as Al source. The silver doped natural and
synthetic zeolites were characterized by instrumental analysis methods,
i.e., X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDX)
and FTIR spectroscopy. The equilibrium adsorption studies for humic acid
allowed to assess the sorption capacity of the each zeolite, described
by the adsorption isotherms, which informs about the surface properties
and affinity of the material for the investigated pollutant. Langmuir,
Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) adsorption isotherms were used
to determine the equilibrium constants for the adsorption of the humic
acid on the zeolite for various conditions, e.g., humic acid
concentrations and zeolite amount. Also, adsorption kinetics has been
studied in terms of pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order to
elucidate some sorption mechanistic aspects. All determined equilibrium
and kinetic parameters showed that silver doped synthetic zeolite
exhibited better adsorptive affinity and capacity for humic acid removal
from aqueous solutions, in comparison with the silver doped natural

AB Cracking of vegetable oils and animal fats carried out with a view to
preparing fuels or fuel components for diesel engines is one of the
options of reducing high molecular weight and viscosity of natural
triacylglycerols (TAG). We have found out that lignocellulose shows a
surprisingly high catalytic activity in TAG cracking comparable and
equivalent to that achieved with zeolite catalysts NaY and
clinoptilolite. This paper presents results obtained from cracking of
rapeseed, sunflower, soybean and jatropha oils, lard and used cooking
oils in the presence of woody sawdust, cereal straw and waste paper used
as catalysts. The yield of liquid products in the feedstock was 80-90%
relative to the feedstock TAG at temperatures of 350-440 degrees C
applied for a period of 20-30 min. The yield of treated condensates
having properties similar to those of fossil diesel reached, after water
separation and evaporation of the volatile fraction up to 190 degrees C,
70-80% of the feedstock TAG. The type of the TAG and the lignocellulosic
catalyst used had no significant effect on the product yield and its
parameters. Liquid condensates obtained via catalysis with
lignocellulosic catalysts had similar composition and properties as
condensates produced by zeolite-catalyzed cracking. Blends of treated
condensates of 5-10 vol.% with fossil diesel are compliant with the EN
590 standard and can thus be used as fuels for diesel engines. (C) 2011

AB Inverse gas chromatography at infinite and finite surface coverages was
applied to evaluate the surface properties of an iron-modified sepiolite
sorbent, Fe-sepiolite. The adsorptions of different nonpolar and polar
probes were measured in the infinite-dilution regime, in the temperature
range 483-513 K. For the organic probes used, the thermodynamic
parameters (free energy, enthalpy, and entropy) of adsorption and the
dispersive and specific components of the free energy of adsorption were
determined and are discussed in terms of specific reactions that can
occur on the adsorbent surface. Following the approach of Gutmann (The
Donor Acceptor Approach to Molecular Interactions; Plenum Press: New
York, 1978), acid/base surface characteristics were determined. The
adsorption isotherms of n-hexane, benzene, chloroform, and
tetrahydrofuran were used to estimate the specific surface areas,
isosteric heats of adsorption, and adsorption energy distributions for
the adsorption of organic molecules.

AB This paper deals with cracking of vegetable oils and animals fats in the
presence of zeolite catalysts, the objective being preparation of liquid
products similar in their properties to fossil diesel. The effects of
oil/fat type on the liquid condensate yields and parameters were
monitored. The tests were carried out with rapeseed, sunflower, soybean
and jatropha oils as well as with used frying oils. Liquid condensates
with yields of 85 to 90% relative to the input oil were obtained at
temperatures of 350 to 440 degrees C applied for the period of 20 to 30
min in the presence of zeolite catalysts NaY and clinoptilolite. The
input oil types had no significant effect on the yields and
characteristics of the treated condensate. In this respect, used frying
oils (UFO) as a feed material match other types of fresh oils and fats.
Treated condensates blended with fossil diesel (5-7% of the condensate
by volume) are compliant with the EN 590 standard and can thus be used
as a component of diesel fuels. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights

procedures and is characterized by Fourier transformation infrared,
X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, SEM and BET methods. The prepared
composite is used as a catalyst for photodegradation of furfural in
aqueous solution under UV irradiation. The degradation process is
monitored during the experimental runs by UV/Vis absorption, COD and TOC
concentration determination and HPLC methods. The effect of key
operating parameters such as catalyst dosage, initial concentration of
furfural, initial pH of the solutions and effect of the presence of
hydrogen peroxide and potassium bromate is studied on the degradation
efficiency. The optimal operation parameters are found as follows: pH 5,
330 mg L-1 of the catalyst loading and 6 mM of furfural concentration.
It observed that the degradation rate increased with an increasing mass
of hydrogen peroxide and potassium bromate. The NiS particles out of the
zeolite framework did not show significant degradation efficiency. (C)

AB Hydrogen forms of natural mordenite and clinoptilolite were used as
catalysts for styrene oligomerization and as matrices to hold the
resultant oligomers in order to prepare intense and light-resistant
pigments. In contrast to synthetic zeolites of similar pore sizes
(mainly H-ZSM-5, H-mordenite), the natural zeolites did not form
products with an intense (pink) colouration. H-mordenite samples treated
with styrene developed some colour due to styrene oligomers (the
chromophore) whereas, in treated clinoptilolites, colour formation was
negligible due to the lack of access of styrene molecules into the
elliptical channels. The results of catalytic tests for cracking of
cumene (cumene and styrene have similar molecular sizes) were consistent
with the styrene oligomerization results. They indicate a noticeable
catalytic activity with natural H-mordenite and a lack of activity with
clinoptilolite. On the other hand, catalytic tests for propan-2-ol
decomposition indicate a high activity with both natural zeolites, which
confirms the presence of acid sites and their accessibility to small
alcohol molecules.

AB Copper-silver bimetallic system supported on natural clinoptilolite from
Tasajeras deposit (Cuba) was studied. Bimetallic samples were prepared
by simultaneous ion exchange, and reduced in a wide temperature range in
a hydrogen flow. The main goal of the work was analysis of the mutual
influence of both metals on their reduction process and the properties
of the resultant particles. Analysis was done by combined use of XRD and
UV-Vis spectroscopy. The reduction of Cu2+ and Ag+ cations shows
existence of notable inter-influence between both cations during this
process. The Cu2+ reduction is favored by the presence of Ag+, which
should be related with the synergetic influence of silver cations and/or
clusters formed on the first stages of reduction on Cu2+-framework
interaction, facilitating the Cu2+ reduction even at low temperature (25
and 50 degrees C). The aggregation of the reduced highly dispersed
species both for copper and silver is limited in this bimetallic system.
The introduction of Ag+ as the second cation in the copper-exchanged
zeolites favors the copper reduction at lower temperatures (25 and 50
degrees C), and appears to be the efficient tool for the control of the
size of the resultant reduced nanoparticles (it means their dispersion).

nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, FTIR spectroscopy, scanning

activity of the prepared photocatalysts was evaluated by the UV-induced
degradation of acid blue 92, a textile dye in common use. The effect of
various parameters, such as catalyst concentration, initial dye
concentration, thiosulphate concentration and pH, on the rate and
efficiency of the photocatalytic degradation of acid blue 92 was
investigated. The results showed that each parameter influenced the
degradation rate and efficiency in a particular way. It was also found
that, under optimised conditions, Ag/AgBr/TiO2/zeolite exhibited the
highest photocatalytic performance. A comparison of catalytic activity
when exposed to visible light under the same conditions showed that the

clinoptiolite was studied in a batch slurry reactor in a nitrogen
atmosphere and at constant temperature of 373 K. The catalysts prepared
were characterized by nitrogen adsorption, XRD, SEM, and DSC
measurements. The catalytic activity increased from 15% to 99% with the
introduction of HPW at 4.25 wt% onto the natural zeolite. However, the
catalytic activity decreased with the calcination of the catalyst
sample. XRD studies indicated that only the HPW catalyst supported on
natural zeolite without calcination was the one where the HPW crystals
were formed, no significant HPW crystals were observed in the calcined
sample. The main reaction products of the isomerization reaction of
a-pinene were camphene and limonene with selectivities of about 40% and
3%, respectively, over the HPW catalyst supported on natural zeolite
without heat treatment. One and a half order dependency on a-pinene
consumption was observed and activation energy was established to be
65.4 kJ/mol. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

particle sizes (1.60-0.250 mm) and sweep gas flow rates (50-400 mL

temperature of 500 degrees C by using a sweep gas (N(2)) flow rate of

addition, the chinaberry seeds with two selected catalysts, natural

results showed that the pyrolysis temperature, sweep gas flow rate and

solution of the reagent in n-octane as the initial reaction mixture and
H-2 or N-2 as a carrier gas. Under these conditions, the selectivity to
camphene reaches 60-80% at 99.9% conversion of a-pinene. The reaction is
found to be first-order with respect to alpha-pinene, the apparent
activation energy being similar to that observed with the conventional
TiO2 catalyst. The prominent catalyst deactivation has been observed at
increased alpha-pinene concentrations in the inlet reaction mixture (>=

Manganese oxide on clinoptilolite was found to be the most active and
durable of all tested. The effects of ion exchanger concentration, ion
exchange time, ion exchange temperature and the type of ion exchanger
were also studied to screen metal oxide catalysts. The catalysts were
prepared by incipient wetness impregnation of clinoptilolite in hydrogen
form (HCLT). They were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD),
scanning electron microscopy (SEM), temperature-programmed
reduction/oxidation (TPR/TPO) and diffuse reflectance Fourier transform
infrared (DRIFT) spectroscopy techniques. Activities of the candidate
catalysts were correlated with crystallinity, surface acidity,
adsorption properties and morphological parameters. 9.5% MnO(2) on
clinoptilolite exhibits the highest performance among the different
oxides. Its higher activity was attributed to its ability to maintain
its redox potential. Furthermore, this novel generation of catalysts
appeared as active as conventional ZSM-5 and BETA. Finally, it was found
that all four metal oxides supported on clinoptilolite led to the
considerable decrease in combustion temperature. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

AB Raw and modified forms of clinoptilolite were used as catalyst to test
their activities in the esterification of glycerol with oleic acid.
Several chemical treatments were conducted to obtain a suitable catalyst
for the selective formation of monoester while suppressing the formation
of di- and tri-esters. Raw clinoptilolite was modified to obtain
modified clinoptilolites with various Si/Al ratio by two different
methods; passivation with tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and
dealumination with HCl which both increase the Si/Al ratio. Catalysts
were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier
transform-infrared (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron (XPS) spectroscopy,
thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA), and N(2) gas
adsorption-desorption techniques. The results of the catalytic tests
indicate that clinoptilolite can catalyze the esterification of glycerol
with oleic acid efficiently. The highest acid conversion and selectivity
to monoolein were obtained in the case of the acid treated

AB WC zeolite nanocomposite was synthesized by combining a mechano-chemical
approach with the reduction. carbonization technique. We used natural
zeolite as a support and ammonia metatungsten as a tungsten source. The
pretreated zeolite was mixed with ammonia metatungsten at a
n(Si):n(W)=2:1 by a ball miller to produce the WO(3)/zeolite precursor.
The precursor was then reduced and carbonized in a CH(4)/H(2) atmosphere
at 1173 K in a furnace for a specific period of time. The product was
characterized by X. ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron
microscopy(SEM), and X-ray energy diffusive spectroscopy (EDS). Results
showed that the sample was composed of monotungsten carbide, bitungsten
carbide, quartz, mordenite, and clinoptilolite. The diameter of the
monotungsten carbide particles was found to be about 30 nm and that of
bitungsten carbide about 20 nm. The electrocatalytic activity of the
sample for p. nitrophenol in a neutral solution was measured using a
powder microelectrode. Results show that the sample is
electrocatalytically active in a neutral p. nitrophenol solution. The
electrocatalytic activity of these samples is better than that of
mesoporous tungsten carbide and this is due to the mass fraction of WC
and the ratio of w(WC)/w(W(2)C). These results indicate that a
synergistic effect exists between the tungsten carbide and the zeolite.

AB Thermo-catalytic degradation of low density polyethylene (PE-LD) was
studied in the presence of the natural zeolite - clinoptilolite. The
effect of carbon deposition on the catalyst activity was also
investigated. It was observed that the PE-LD degradation process over
clinoptilolite proceeded at shorter time and lower temperature. The
catalyst activity tests were carried out in argon in a stainless steel
batch reactor at temperature, up to 410 degrees C at ambient pressure.
The decomposition products were classified into three groups: gases,
liquids and solid-like residues. The liquid products were analysed by
gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry GC/MS method. A shift
towards lower molecular mass products was observed in reactions with
fresh clinoptilolite. The application of this catalyst in thermal
degradation of PE-LD leads to lower alkane to alkene ratios and inhibits
the formation of cyclohydrocarbons. The presence of carbon deposit on
the surface of re-used clinoptilolite leads to higher ratio of saturated
to unsaturated hydrocarbons, but neither did it significantly change
reaction temperature nor the phase composition of the reaction products.

ion-exchange reactions and impregnation methods. Appropriate
aluminosilicate was immersed into an aqueous solution of Fe(III) salt
with 0.04 M concentration. The suspensions were deposited on a Si wafer
by sedimentation and allowed to dry quickly by an infrared lamp. MWNTs
were synthesized by catalytic decomposition of methane on the surface of
aluminosilicates at 600-700 degrees C by hot filament chemical vapour
deposition process. These Fe(III) loaded aluminosilicates were used as
catalysts. The nanotubes were bridging-cross both single parts of
aluminosilicates and micro-cracks which had been formed during the quick
drying of aluminosilicates. The carbon nanotubes (CNTs) formed a

(natural - clinoptilolite, Y(Na+) and Y(H+)). Thermal analyses TG-DTA-MS

order was found: in lowering the reaction temperature for LDPE
degradation Y(H+) > mK5 > mK20 = mK30 > mK10 > NZ > Y(Na+); for PP
degradation: mK20 > mK5 = mK30 > mK10 > Y(H+) > NZ > Y(Na+). The

e., Kunii-Levenspiel (K-L) as an example of three phase models and

predicted from K-L model was lower than that observed in the case of H-R
model (19% and 70%, respectively). Among the operating parameters,
partial pressure of methanol was found to have the highest impact on the

support determines the content of zeolite water and affects the
formation of anchored alkylaluminoxanes and the activity of immobilized
catalysts. Among the studied catalytic systems supported on zeolites,
NaY and NaZSM-5 are the most efficient for the polymerization of
propylene. PP synthesized with the supported zirconocene catalysts has a
higher molecular mass and a wider molecular-mass distribution than those
in the case of the corresponding homogeneous catalyst. The index of

immobilized metallocenes with the C(2) symmetry, such as
rac-C(2)H(4)(Ind)(2)ZrCl(2) and rac-Me(2)Si(Ind)(2)ZrCl(2), are likewise

AB Zeolites have been widely used in water treatment and especially
clinoptilolite, due to its low cost and high abundance. It has large
cation-exchange capacity and is capable of removing large quantities of
heavy metals from contaminated water samples. By loading the surface of
clinoptilolite with amorphous Fe-oxide species, a total improvement in
adsorption capacity could be achieved. Thus, the Clin-Fe oxide system is
capable of adsorbing significantly higher heavy metal concentrations
than untreated clinoptilolite with simultaneous noticeable decrease in
water hardness. Batch adsorption experiments have shown that Clin-Fe
system has very large Cu, Zn and Mn adsorption capacity and for most of
the cases the treated water samples were suitable for human consumption
or agricultural use. New experiments were conducted to study the
effectiveness of clinoptilolite and of the Clin-Fe system in removal of
Cu, Mn, Zn, present simultaneously in water samples, so that the study
of metal-sorbent chemical behavior and of the adsorption selectivity
would be feasible. Desorption of metals was also examined and an
integrated approach of the effectiveness of such materials in drinking
water treatment is presented. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights

cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and polyethylene glycol (PEG),
have been employed in order to shape the pores in the composite. The
resultant silica-clay has large surface area (472 m(2)/g) and high
hydrothermal stability, which makes it a potentially host-material for
catalyst. The molecular size of different surfactant leads to the
multi-peak distribution of pore size, and the surfactant of larger size
(PEG) corresponds to the formation of larger pores. Moreover, the
photocatalytic results show that, comparing with pure TiO2 particles,
the loaded TiO2 on such silica-clay shows higher photodegradation rate
of methyl orange (MO) in aqueous. And another porous aluminosilicate

catalyst/feed ratios of 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.20, and 0.25 in the catalyst
bed temperature range of 350-500 degrees C on the product distributions.
The catalytic treatment with synthetic zeolites provided enhancement of
the gas yields and reduction of the oil yields. Moreover, the high
catalyst/feed ratio was favored to increase of gas yields. ZSM-5 was
very effective in gas production, whereas NZ was in bio-oil production
without any severe coking, compared to synthetic zeolites. H-Y showed a
higher tendency of formation of coke and tar. Moreover, a catalyst bed
temperature of >450 degrees C caused enhancement of the gas yields and
reduction of the oil yields. After application of catalytic treatment,
the long chains of alkanes and alkenes of the pyrolysis oil were
converted to lower-weight hydrocarbons. An increase of aliphatics,
aromatics, and olefins and a sharp decrease of asphaltenes and polar
groups (highly oxygenated groups) were determined. NZ was determined to
be very effective in aliphatic production, whereas ZSM-5 produced more
aromatics. Consequently, comparing the natural zeolite with synthetics
on bio-oil production, NZ exhibited better performance.

AB Bulgarian natural zeolite clinoptilolite was ion exchanged with silver.
D.C. arc-AES was used for Ag detection. XRD patterns show that after
exchanging the HEU type structure is kept. UV-VIS (specific reflection
at 310 nm) and IR (band at 695 cm(-1)) spectroscopy analysis proved that
silver is loaded as T-atom into zeolite channels as Ag(+), instead of
Na(+), Ca(2+), or K(+) ions, existing in natural form, there is only a
small amount of extra-framework Ag over zeolite matrix (reflection at
380 nm). This sample can be used further as catalyst or as antibacterial
agent. After leaching of Ag(+) from the channels (with the help of
surfactant) the silver had transformed into Ag(0) particles over the
zeolite matrix. The sample can be further regenerated again with new
silver load.

AB In an attempt to understand the textural and acidic properties of
zeolites on the methanol conversion and product selectivities, three
zeolites, ferrierite, clinoptilolite, and SAPO-34, are studied,
Temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia (NH(3)-TPD) indicated the
presence of more weak acidity on ferrierite and clinoptilolite compared
to the considerable strong acidity on SAPO-34. At 250 degrees C, all
three samples exhibited comparable methanol conversions, but relatively
lower dimethyl ether (DME) and higher light olefins are observed on
SAPO-34. Ferrierite and clinoptilolite samples exhibited high
selectivity for the formation of DME even at higher reaction
temperatures (400 degrees C), while the product shifted from DME to
light olefins with an increasing reaction temperature on SAPO-34.
Especially, ferrierite, owing to its mild acidity and small pore size,
is found to be a good catalyst for the methanol conversion to DME at 250
degrees C without significant deactivation for 100 h time on stream.

conversion of acetaldehyde and formaldehyde into acrolein. The
modifications made on the raw clinoptilolite have generated important
changes of the texture and catalytic sites. The results in catalysis
showed that the nature and the amount of condensation products strongly
depend on the acid-base properties of catalysts. The highest stability,

model. The results indicated that the hydroxyl group on the zeolite

mechanism. This group was able to form a new transition state between
anhydride hardener and epoxide group. The natural zeolite particles
acted as catalyst for the epoxy system by promoting its curing rate.

AB Waste high-density polyethylene was converted into different hydrocarbon
fractions by thermal and then-no-catalytic batch cracking. For the
catalytic degradation of waste plastics three different catalysts
(equilibrium FCC, HZSM-5 and clinoptilolite) were used. Catalysts differ
basically in their costs and activity due to the differences of micro-
and macroporous surface areas and furthermore the Si/Al ratio and
acidities are also different. Mild pyrolysis was used at 430 degrees C
and the reaction time was 45 min in each case. The composition of
products was defined by gas chromatography, Fourier transform infrared
spectroscopy, size exclusion chromatography, energy-dispersive X-ray
fluorescence spectroscopy and other standardized methods. The effects of
catalysts on the properties of degradation products were investigated.
Both FCC and clinoptilolite catalysts had considerably catalytic
activity to produce light hydrocarbon liquids, while HZSM-5 catalyst
produced the highest amount of gaseous products. In case of liquids,
carbon numbers were distributed within the C(5)-C(23) range depending on
the cracking parameters. Decomposition of the carbon chain could be
followed by GC and both by FTIR and SEC techniques in case of volatile
fractions and residues. Catalysts increased yields of valuable volatile
fractions and moreover catalysts caused both carbon chain isomerization
and switching of the position of double bonds. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

AB Natural mordenite, replacing the synthetic zeolites, has been employed
as the support of TiO2, and its photocatalytic activity has been
examined in methyl orange (MO) aqueous under UV light. AFM, TEM, XRD,
IFTIR and fluorescence spectra have been used to reveal the loading
effects of TiO2 on mordenite. The results show that the photocatalytic
degradation (PCD) reaction rates are sharply increased by natural
zeolite supports. Since mordenite is photo-inert, the PCD-enhancement is
mostly caused by the bonding effects of Ti-O-Si and Ti-O-Al. Moreover,
another two distinct natural zeolites have been employed as the supports
of TiO2, in order to check the universality of PCD-enhancement effect of
natural zeolites on TiO2. And the factors of PCD reaction on
TiO2-zeolite, such as pH and catalyst dose, have been investigated. (C)

Hydrothermal reaction was conducted with HCl-treated clinoptilolite at

reaction as ZSM-5 by means of XRD, IR, TGA, surface area analyzer, and
chemical analysis they were tested as catalysts in benzene alkylation
reaction with ethylene leading to ethylbenzene. Catalytic performance of
samples prepared in this study was investigated for benzene conversion,
ethylbenzene yield, and selectivity. It was found that ZSM-5(A) sample
showed performance similar to that of the reference sample (ZSM-5(C))
synthesized by using patented literature information in terms of benzene
conversion. When the reaction temperature was increased from 400 to 425

were improved but coke formation increased. Catalyst test results

contents of the monometallic and bimetallic catalysts were 8.1-9.2 wt%

activity and selectivity of the catalysts differently. The main product
of the citral hydrogenation reaction was citronellal, for both
monometallic (84.5% yield) and bimetallic (44.5% yield) catalysts. The
addition of promoter increased the selectivity to unsaturated alcohols
(geraniol+ nerol), i.e. it changed from 0.9% to 6.3% over mordenite and
from 0.9% to 2.1% over Na-Y-supported catalysts. Furthermore, activity
of the Ni catalysts decreased while the quantity of acetal remained
almost constant. Intimate contact between active metal, promoter, and
support, and a catalyst with a high concentration of weak acid sites
gave high selectivity to geraniol+ nerol.

AB The ion-exchange and reduction processes for Cu2+ ions in clinoptilolite
from the Caimanes deposit (Moa, Cuba) were studied at different
temperatures. The ion-exchange studies were done to determine the
kinetic parameters of Cu2+ removal from solution by this clinoptilolite
modified previously to NH4+ form, and thermodynamic parameters of Cu2+
elution from zeolite using NH4Cl solution. The results show that
temperature increase favors the exchange and that it is a reversible
process. The external diffusion rate appreciably increases with
temperature, while, the internal diffusion coefficient rises relatively
little. This means that besides ion exchange other processes (such as
precipitation of the low-solubility phase and/or salt adsorption) occur,
which cause copper removal from solution and affect the intracrystalline
diffusion of the ions. For steric reasons the exchange of
[Cu(H2O)(6)](2+) ions from a solution must occur with a number of water
molecules n smaller than 6 (6 > n >= 0). Cu2+ reduction by hydrogen and
the formation of Cu-particles in the clinoptilolite were verified. The
Cu2+ reduction mechanism is complex, should be present in the reduced
indirect, and sensitive to reduction temperature; consequently, Cu-n(+)
states intermediate between Cu2+ and Cu-0 samples. (C) 2007 Elsevier

AB This contribution deals with the synthesis of a silicon-rich ZSM-5
obtained from an amorphous organo-alumino-silicic gel. The gel was
formed by reacting a mechanical mixture of RHA (rice hull ash), silica's
source, and of natural clinoptilolite, source of alumina, with glycerol
during 2 h at 200 degrees C. After a maturation period of one day at 60
degrees C, the reaction product was hydrolyzed by a tetra-propylammonium
(TPA) solution and then aged for two days at 135 degrees C in a
stainless steel autoclave. After washing and drying, the X-ray pattern
showed a well crystallized ZSM-5. The textural analysis of the slowly
calcined solid at 500 degrees C for 4 It, and the SEM micrographics
evidence that the zeolite was supported on mesoporous silica. The
proportion of both components depends on the tunable hydrolysis
conditions. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB Ion exchange of methylammonium cations (Me) in Na-Y zeolite (FAU) and
the properties of the resulting Me-Y material (Me = (CH3)(i)NH4-i+; i =
0-4) was studied. Results indicated that the ion exchange equilibrium
can quickly be reached, even when voluminous tetramethylammonium cations
are used. XRD results indicated that the cation distribution along
zeolite crystals is uniform but, due to stereo-spatial reasons,
methylammonium cation cannot replace all sodium cations present in the
zeolite: the ion exchange of organic cations is restricted to the
supercavity. XRD also shows that as the voluminous methylammonium
cations are incorporated in compensation sites, they produce an
expansion of the unit cell of the Faujasite. Physisorption of nitrogen
evidences that as the ion exchange level increases, the volume of
micropores available in the zeolite crystals decreases proportionally.
For the first time, the Me-Y zeolites, containing methylammonium cations
in charge compensation sites, were evaluated as basic catalysts in
Knoevenagel condensation, producing much higher yields than the ones
obtained with cesium faujasite. These unique results open new
perspectives for the use of these low-cost organic containing zeolites,
in processes when the presence of basic sites is necessary. (C) 2006

AB Clinoptilolite, a natural zeolite from the Semnan region in the West of
Iran, has been converted to a catalyst for the methanol dehydration to
dimethyl ether process. To produce such a catalyst and to create acidic
sites on the latter, the ion-exchange process has been used. In
addition, to investigate and optimize the effective factors of the
catalyst synthesis process, a L9 Taguchi experimental design method has
been implemented. The effects of four factors have been considered: the
type of ion-exchange solution (2 levels); ion-exchange solution
concentration; calcination temperature and calcination time (the last
three factors have been studied in 3 levels). The yield of catalyst
(conversionxselectivity) has been chosen as the response of the system.
The catalytic behaviour of the produced samples was investigated using a
fixed bed reactor (T = 350 degrees C, P = 1 atm and WHSV = 4.78 h(-1)).
The results of the statistical design showed that the optimum conditions
were: calcination time - 3 h, calcination temperature - 500 degrees C,
ion-exchange solution concentration - 2M, and ion-exchange solution -
ammonium chloride. The optimum catalyst was tested using a fixed bed
reactor at 330 degrees C, 1 atm and WHSV = 3.8 h(-1) resulting in 98.1%
conversion and 96.5% selectivity. In order to investigate the catalyst
behaviour under industrial operating conditions, the catalyst was tested
in a fixed bed reactor at 300 degrees C, 16 atm pressure, and WHSV =
52.5 h(-1). The results were 67.02% conversion and 99.74% selectivity.

Results indicated that Na-mordenite was the most efficient
cation-exchanger (compared with Na-ferrierite, Na-ZSM-5, Na-beta, and
Na-Y, as well as the K- and H-form mordenite) for the removal of
low-concentration ammonia. The ammonia uptake and the ion-exchange level
achieved using mordenite with NH4+ for removal of 10 ppm ammonia at 333
K were 1.21 mmol g(-1) and 79.1%, respectively The high efficiency of
Na-mordenite for removal of low-concentration ammonia in water is due to
the strong acidity of the corresponding H-form mordenite as demonstrated
by ammonia temperature-programmed desorption. Ammonia uptake on the
Na-mordenite was minimally influenced by operating temperature in the
range of 278-333 K. The coexistent K+ and Na+ in water had little
influence on ammonia uptake of the Na-mordenite. In contrast, coexistent
Ca2+ and Mg2+ significantly lowered the efficiency of the Na-mordenite
for ammonia removal. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

technique for converting plastic polymers into liquid hydrocarbons,
which could be used as feed stock materials. The catalytic degradation
of waste plastics (polyethylene and polystyrene) was investigated in a
batch reactor over different catalysts (FCC, ZSM-5 and clinoptillolite).
The effects of catalysts and their average grain size on the properties
of main degradation products (gases, gasoline, diesel oil) are
discussed. The temperature range of 410-450 degrees C was used in the
process. Both equilibrium FCC catalyst and natural clinoptilolite
zeolite catalyst had good catalytic activity to produce light
hydrocarbon liquids, and ZSM-5 catalyst produced the highest amount of
gaseous products. Gases and liquids formed in cracking reactions were
analyzed by gas chromatography. The liquid products Consisted of a wide
spectrum of hydrocarbons distributed within the C-5-C-28 carbon number
range depending on the cracking parameters. The composition of
hydrocarbons had linear non-branched structure in case of polyethylene,
while from polystyrene more aromatics (ethyl-benzene, styrene, toluene,
and benzene) were produced. The yields of volatile products increased
with increasing degradation temperature. The olefin content of liquids
was measured with an infrared technique and an olefin concentration of
50-60% was observed. The concentration Of Unsaturated compounds
increased with decreasing temperature, and in the presence of catalysts.
The activation energies were calculated oil the basis of the composition
of volatile products. The apparent activation energies were decreased by
catalysts and catalyst caused both carbon-chain and double bond
isomerisation. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

the selectivity to form the 4-hydroxyacetophenone was higher. This
superior performance of the externally blocked catalysts, relative to

AB In this study, isomerization of alpha-pinene was studied over several
acid-treated natural zeolite catalysts rich in clinoptilolite. Zeolite
samples were contacted with HCl at different concentrations at
30degreesC or at 60degreesC for 3 and 24 hours and tested in
isomerization reaction of alpha-pinene. The catalysts prepared were
characterized by XRD, nitrogen adsorption, and acidity studies. Acidity
strength and the distribution of Lewis and Bronsted acid sites of the
catalysts were determined, and their catalytic activities in
alpha-pinene isomerization and selectivities to main reaction products,
camphene and limonene, were investigated. Acid treatment improved the
selectivity of catalyst samples to camphene, decreasing the selectivity
to limonene, probably forcing limonene to secondary reactions at high
conversions.
The kinetics of alpha-pinene consumption was described by first-order
kinetics. Two kinetic models were tested for the reaction mechanism and
one model was found to give a good correlation between the theoretical
and experimental data. In the models, the key intermediate was the
pinylcarbonium ion, which was formed irreversibly from alpha-pinene.

AB Thermal and thermo-catalytic cracking behaviour of a commercial
high-density polyethylene (HDPE) waste was investigated in the
temperature range of 400-450 degreesC in a laboratory scale pyrex batch
reactor. An equilibrium fluid catalytic cracking catalyst (FCC), HZSM-5
and a clinoptilolite containing rhyolite tuff were used as catalysts.
The presence of a catalyst significantly altered both the yield and
composition of the products and differences were found between catalysts
having different acidities, micro- and macropore surface areas. The
yield of gases increased in the order: non-thermo-catalytic cracking < clinoptilolite < FCC < HZSM-5 catalysed cracking, while the yields of liquid products increased in the sequence of non-thermo-catalytic cracking < clinoptilolite < HZSM-5 < FCC catalysed cracking. The catalysts significantly affected the isomerization of the olefin double bond and of the carbon-chain of the cracked products, the olefin content of liquids did not differ considerably. The effect of the catalysts on the yields and structure of products were getting less significant with increasing cracking temperature. The range of the carbon atom number in liquids was C-5-C-28 in non-thermo-catalytic cases, whereas using catalysts it was C-5-C-25, but the temperature of cracking had a noticeable effect on the distribution of carbon atom. Each liquid fraction is of low sulphur content, which may be advantageous for application as fuel. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Cu(II)-exchanged zeolites are very active catalysts, with conversions of NO of similar to95%, a high selectivity to N-2 at low temperatures, and exhibiting good water tolerance. The chemical state of the Cu(II) in exchanged zeolites was characterized by H-2-TPR and XPS. Cu(II)-exchanged clinoptilolite underwent a severe deactivation in the presence of SO2.

Zeolite samples were calcined at different temperatures such as 300, 450 and 600degreesC. All catalysts were tested in the isomerization reaction of alpha-pinene and were characterised by nitrogen adsorption experiments, IR, and XRD measurements. Acidity strength and the distribution of Lewis and Bronsted acid sites of the samples were determined. Selectivities to main reaction products, camphene and limonene, and reaction kinetics were investigated. Catalytic activity, that is total conversion of alpha-pinene, of heat-treated samples decreased with increasing calcination temperatures. Selectivity to limonene is dependent on alpha-pinene conversion at high conversion levels while the selectivity to camphene is not. The formation of heavy products increased with treatment temperature. It was seen that alpha-pinene consumption could be described by a first-order kinetics. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

Thermal and catalytic degradation of low-density polyethylene wastes were studied in a batch reactor under mild cracking conditions to derive liquid cracking products of olefins and paraffins. Zeolite catalysts with different activities were studied: a commercial equilibrium FCC catalyst, an H form ZSM-5 catalyst, and a natural clinoptilolite containing rhyolite tuff. The catalytic processes could convert waste polymers into valuable hydrocarbons. The properties of products could be modified by the use of catalysts. The olefin content and the position of the olefinic double bonds were investigated with IR spectrometry. In the presence of catalysts the olefin content increased, and the terminal bonds migrated into internal positions. Furthermore the liquid products had lower average molecular weights than those obtained without catalysts. The activation energies of the cracking reactions with or without catalysts were determined. The apparent activation energy was lower in catalytic than that in thermal degradation. The cracking reaction rates were modelled and the reaction rate constant of each hydrocarbon type was calculated. The model gives a good approximation of the experimental results obtained from the degradation of LDPE waste in the presence and absence of catalysts. Under the studied parameters, liquids were formed with suitable properties for further uses (e.g. low sulphur content, low pour point).

While adoption of zeolite technology is slow in the United States compared to other regions of the world, continued testing and research has shown a wide range of uses for these minerals. They are important catalysts in petroleum refining, molecular sieves able to separate gases, and chemically inert carriers of reactants. The zeolite clinoptilolite produced by St, Cloud Mining Company (clino) (SC) is used in animal hygiene and animal feed, especially concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), horticulture, water treatment, floor dry, aquariums, air and other filters, and odour control. Clino can remove cations from solution, and surface-modified zeolite (SMZ) is a sorbent for the removal of anions and neutral organics from water. Specific clino applications are: control of chemical pollution in groundwater, removal of organic compounds from oil field waters, and elimination of pathogens from sewage effluent. Combining the sorption capabilities of SMZ with chemical or biological transformations can yield complete removal of toxic materials from contaminated water. Continued development and marketing of zeolite products will be a growth market far into the future. The CAFO market for zeolites is the most significant growth area in the United States over the next few years. SMZ, currently less than 1% of St. Cloud sales, will continue to gain market penetration for many years.

In this study, the activity and selectivity of two different clinoptilolite tuffs from Thrace region of Greece were investigated using the model reaction of propane dehydrogenation and were compared to those of synthetic proton and metal-modified ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts. The clinoptilolite bearing tuff from Metaxades (MCH) showed appreciable activity for propane dehydrogenation, similar to that of a steamed Cr-modified ZSM-5 zeolite and considerably higher compared to the second natural clinoptilolite tuff (SF) from the area of Pentalofos and to the H-ZSM-5 zeolite. The total propylene yield for the MCH sample at 540 degreesC was 8.4%, compared to 3.4% for SF, 5.3% for steamed H-ZSM-5 and 8.3% for steamed Cr-modified ZSM-5. The proton-exchanged forms of both natural zeolites showed improved conversion of propane but resulted in lower propylene selectivity due to subsequent hydrogen transfer, cracking and cyclo-oligomerization reactions induced by the higher number of framework Bronsted acid sites.

The effects of metal cation exchange were examined by XRD, NH3-TPD, FT-IR, and solid-state NMR to elucidate the controlling factors affecting the selectivity to isobutene. Cobalt-cation-exchanged natural clinoptilolite zeolite (Co-HNZ) showed a higher selectivity to isobutene compared with that of HNZ at the same conversion of n-butenes under the same reaction conditions, while barium-cation-exchanged zeolite (Ba-HNZ) exhibited a higher activity but a very low selectivity to isobutene. It could be suggested that the high selectivity over the Co-HNZ catalyst was induced by selective removal of strong acid sites that were responsible for the side reactions of dimerization cracking as well as by imposing an effective constraint on zeolite channels. On the other hand, the high density and easy accessibility of acid sites mainly on the external surface in Ba-HNZ could increase the extent of the bilmolecular reaction pathway, leading to high yields of by-products. Thus, a selective catalyst for skeletal isomerization of 1-butene should satisfy multiple requirements regarding its acid site, namely, strength, type, concentration, and accessibility.

It is found that SCR activity decreases in the following order: Fe-MOR>Fe-HEU>Fe-FER>Fe-beta>Fe-CHA. Fe-MOR and Fe-HEU are much more
active than the commercial vanadia catalyst. For Fe-MOR, SCR activity
increases with a decreasing Si/Al ratio. Moreover, SO(2) and SO(2) +
H(2)O improve SCR activity. On Fe-MOR, nearly 100% NO conversion is
obtained at a high space velocity (GHSV = 4.6 x 10(5) h(-1)) in the
presence of SO(2). The Fe-MOR catalysts are also characterized by
H(2)-TPR (temperature-programmed reduction) and Fourier transform
infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. TPR profiles indicate that iron cations
in the catalysts are present as approximately 73% Fe(3+) and 27% Fe(2+).
FT-IR spectra show that NO can be oxidized by O(2) to N(2)O(3), NO(2),
and nitrate adsorbed species, and that they are bonded to the iron
cations. NH(3) molecules adsorb on Bronsted acid sites of the zeolite to
form NH(4)(+) ions. NO + O(2) is very active in reacting with NH(4)(+)
ions on Fe-MOR at 300degreesC, but it is less active with those on 4
H-MOR. This is in good agreement with their SCR activities and is
probably related to the fast formation of NO(2) on Fe-MOR. A possible
reaction scheme for SCR reduction is proposed. NO reduction involves the
reaction between NO(2) and a pair of NH(4)(+) ions to generate an active
intermediate, which then reacts with NO to produce N(2) and H(2)O. NO
oxidation to NO(2) is the rate-determining step. (C) 2002 Elsevier

AB The mineralogy of a bentonite from Miles, Queensland, Australia, before
and after acid treatment (by reflux in 5.3 M HCl at 80 degreesC) has
been assessed by IR, XRD and chemical analysis. The < 2-mu m fraction of the Miles bentonite consists predominantly of a dioctahedral smectite (approximate to 69%), but which also contains significant amounts of quartz (approximate to 14%), feldspar (approximate to 8%), cristobalite/opal (approximate to 7%), as well as minor amounts (approximate to 1-2%) of clinoptilolite, mica/illite, gypsum and anatase, The smectite component is similar to that of Wyoming bentonite, having a cation exchange capacity of approximate to 103 cmol kg(-1). Prolonged acid treatment (24 h) led to a breakdown in the structure of this component, and caused a precipitation of hydrous silica phases. Structural decomposition was accomplished by a release into solution of octahedrally coordinated Mg (most readily), Fe and Al (least readily). There were also substantial losses to solution of Na and Ca. The precipitate of hydrous silica was enriched with time of acid treatment. A substantial amount of Al was retained within the solid reaction product, most likely as a constituent of impurities that were resistant to acid attack.

They were detected by means of optical absorption using Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS) technique as the plasmon resonance band of different shape and position and simulated with the Mie theory for the simple model of spherical copper particles embedded in a dielectric medium. The observed effects are interpreted as a difference in the acidity strength and type of matrix playing a role of medium for the reduction process.

The composition of degradation products, especially liquid fractions resulted over studied catalysts, was compared to understand the role of catalysts. The degradation was carried out in a semi-batch reactor with a mixture of polypropylene and catalysts at 400 degreesC. The liquid products from the catalytic degradation of polypropylene are distributed in a narrower range of carbon numbers compared with those obtained by thermal degradation. With dealuminated clinoptilolite catalysts, the distribution of liquid products shifted to lower numbers of carbon atoms due to the increase of the portion of medium acid sites and micropore diameter. The increase of temperature accelerated the cracking of intermediately degraded fragments to lower hydrocarbons. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The formation and adsorbate interactions of NJ) are also investigated for a better understanding of the role of Pd(I) on the catalytic reaction in these zeolites using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. Thermal and hydrogen reduction of Pd(II) in clinoptilolite, mordenite, ferrierite, and SUZ-4 produce isolated Pd(I) with somewhat different ESR parameters. The interaction of Pd(I) with various sizes of adsorbates shows some similarities in PdH-mordenite and PdH-ferrierite, indicating that Pd(I) is located in the main 12-ring and 10-ring channels of mordenite and ferrierite, respectively, where all the Pd(I) can coordinate with methanol and pyridine. However, SUZ-4 shows a noticeable difference in the way Pd(I) interacts with several adsorbates such as ammonia, methanol, and ethylene. These adsorbates reduce Pd(II) to Pd(I) at 298 K, leading to the formation of two Pd(I) ions situated at two different sites of SUZ-4. One is the same Pd(I) ion site formed by thermal reduction but it appears at higher intensity upon adsorption. The other Pd(I) is an isolated Pd(I) produced only after prolonged annealing with adsorbates. Our ESR and catalytic results show that Pd(I) is active for ethylene dimerization in these four channel-type zeolites. This activity is dependent on the location and accessibility of Pd(I) and the reaction temperature. All catalysts deactivate due to the further reduction of Pd(I) by ethylene and butene. Analysis of the composition of butene products indicates that PdH-clinoptilolite and PdHK-SUZ-4 reach a thermal equilibrium distribution faster than do PdH-mordenite and PdH-ferrierite.

Fe-ZSM-5, Fe-mordenite (MOR), and Fe-clinoptilolite (HEU) showed excellent SCO performance at a very high space velocity (GHSV = 2.3 x 10(5) h(-1)). Greater than 97% NH3 conversion and nearly 100% N-2 selectivity were obtained. Among different zeolites, the catalytic performance decreased in the sequence of Fe-ZSM-5, Fe-MOR, Fe-HEU > Fe-Y, Fe-Beta > Fe-ferrierite,
Fe-chabazite. High iron content, low Si/Al ratio, and low ammonia
concentration were favorable for high activities for NH3 oxidation to
N-2. For the Fe-exchanged zeolites, there existed a good correlation
between the N-2 selectivity for the SCO reaction and the activity for
the SCR (selective catalytic reduction) of NO with ammonia; i.e., the
higher the SCR activity, the higher the N-2 selectivity in SCO. The
variable valence of iron cations might be beneficial to oxygen
activation and thus result in the high SCO performance for the
Fe-exchanged zeolites. A kinetic study indicated that the reaction was
first order with respect to NH3 and the apparent reaction activation
energy (E-a) was 88 kJ/mol. (C) 2001 Academic Press

(Shivyrtuisk deposit: clinoptilolite 60 +/- 6%, water 14.2%) were
studied as supports for olefin polymerization organometallic catalysts.
Zeolite-fixed aluminoxanes, viz., anchored to the surface of the
support, were prepared by partially hydrolyzing alkylaluminums (AlMe3
AlEt2Cl) with zeolite's internal water. Thus modified, the zeolites were
made to react with transition metal compounds like Cp2ZrCl2 or VOCl3.
The product of the reaction of zeolites' internae water with AlMe3 was
made to react with Cp2ZrCl2, and the resulting product was found to be
active in the polymerization of ethylene with no additional activation
carried out with MAO. In this way, an active metallocene catalyst was
prepared without the use of MAO. Yet, when added as cocatalyst, MAO
still activated the system, unlike the other conventional organoaluminum
cocatalysts. The PE produced over the ZSM-5 (H2O)/AlMe3/CP2ZrCl2 system
had a higher M and a higher melting point than PE prepared over a
homogeneous CP2ZrCl2 + MAO catalyst system.

AB Natural clinoptilolite zeolite HNZ has been studied as a catalyst in the
degradation of polystyrene (PS) at 400 degreesC. Its performance on the
degradation was compared with HZSM-5, silica-alumina, and also with
thermal degradation. HNZ was as effective as HZSM-5 for the production
of liquid oils with carbon numbers of C-5-C-12, without any severe
deactivation. The main product of PS degradation was styrene for both
thermal and catalytic degradation. Among the catalysts tested,
silica-alumina showed the highest yield of ethylbenzene and the lowest
one of styrene due to its mesopores. Increase in degradation temperature
for HNZ resulted in a decrease of selectivity towards ethylbenzene and
propylbenzene, but an increase of styrene selectivity with lower yield
of styrene dimers. A kinetic analysis by thermogravimetric analysis was
also carried out using a dynamic model. It offered reliable kinetic
parameters for the catalytic degradation of PS over HNZ. The apparent
activation energy was found to be 360 kJ/mol, and the catalytic
degradation of PS followed first-order kinetics. (C) 2001 Elsevier

AB The potential use of natural zeolites as base catalysts was ascertained
by studying the catalytic behavior of a purified natural clinoptilolite
(NZ) and its sodium carbonate modified form (NZC) in the aldol
condensation reaction of benzaldehyde with methyl cyanoacetate
(Knoevenagel reaction). The natural zeolites activities were compared to
that of cesium modified X and Y faujasite type zeolites (CsFAUX and
CsFAUY). It was observed that the activity of the NZC zeolite was five
times higher than that of NZ. The normalized activity per surface area
of the modified clinoptilolites was higher than that shown by synthetic
FAUs zeolites. The higher activity of NZC is attributed to the presence
of single and double carbonate species, such as Na2CO3 and
Na2Ca(CO3)(2), occluded in the internal cavities of the clinoptilolite
zeolite, as confirmed by XRD and IR diffuse reflectance. The CO2 and NH3
TPD analysis corroborated the presence of stronger basic sites in the
natural zeolites in good agreement with the catalytic behavior shown by
these solids in the Knoevenagel condensation reaction. (C) 2000 Elsevier

AB The proton form of the natural clinoptilolite zeolite (HNZ) was modified
by treatment with various acids. Effects of modification on catalytic
performance were investigated for the skeletal isomerization of
n-butenes to isobutene. Among HNZs treated with various acids, only
those modified with boric acid (B-HNZ) showed an improved catalytic
performance of skeletal isomerization in terms of activity and
stability. Furthermore, B-HNZ exhibited higher isobutene selectivity
compared to unmodified HNZ at the same conversion of n-butenes. The
performance was comparable to that of a widely known ferrierite catalyst
at the same reaction conditions. The main effect of boric acid treatment
on HNZ was the selective increase in the number of acid sites of
moderate strength required for efficient catalysts in skeletal
isomerization without collapse of its framework. These acid sites of
moderate strength were considered to be selective and stable reaction
sites for skeletal isomerization of n-butenes. Coke deposition poisoned
non-selective strong acid sites and imposed a spatial restriction on
zeolite channels, leading to suppression of undesired dimerization
reactions. Factors affecting selectivity to isobutene an discussed. (C)

Formation of polymeric species from adsorbed butene was observed on

production. On the other hand, most of butene molecules adsorbed on
ferrierite and clinoptilolite behaved monomolecularly, resulting in
complete desorption even at ambient temperature. The exceptional
selectivity for isobutene of ferrierite and clinoptilolite was ascribed
to the sparse distribution of adsorbed butene molecules, suppressing
bimolecular oligomerization and enhancing monomolecular skeletal
isomerization.

more active for NO reduction than Co-ZSM-5, but it is less active than
Co-FER. However, it is found that the selectivity for CH4 toward
reacting with NO at high temperatures (T greater than or equal to 450
degrees C) is higher on Co-CLI than on Co-ZSM-5 or Co-FER. On the basic
of the overall catalytic results, the importance of zeolite pore size as

degradation in the range of 450-500 degrees C. The degradation products
of PE, especially a liquid fraction, formed over solid acid catalysts,
were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). Compared
with those obtained by thermal degradation, the catalytic degradation
products are distributed in a narrow range of carbon numbers. The liquid
fraction contained large amounts of iso-paraffins and aromatics, as are

an efficient catalyst for the PE degradation. The acidity and

the good performance. The effects of temperature, contact time, and the

appropriate degrees of the residual crystallinity of the
mordenite-clinoptilolite rocks modified as well as due to the
corresponding strong acidic sites content of their zeolitic components.
The isomerization mechanism through the hexane molecules protonation
resulting in the formation of non-classic carbonium ions, which include
the pentacoordinated carbon atoms, with subsequent dehydrogenation of
these structures over Lewis acidic sites is proposed - the role of Lewis
acids play probably palladium and extraframework aluminum. Based on the
consideration of the different proton affinity of various C6H14 isomers,
the plausible pathways to the formation of definite hexane isomers are
discussed. These routes give such sets of individual branched hexanes
which consist both the thermodynamically predicted and really found
isomerizate compositions. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights

NH3 were developed. The synthetic mordenite containing Cu, V, and Cr
cations showed high activity for the reduction of NO with NH3. Natural
Izulralite containing mainly mordenite exhibits high activity for the
selective reduction of NO when they were anchored with Cu, Mn, Co, and V
cations. Furthermore, the anchored pellet catalysts prepared from Zeo 3S
(clinoptilolite) and Izukalite exchanged with vanadium ions and mixed

AB The catalytic degradation of polypropylene has been investigated in this
study. Solid acid catalysts, such as silica-alumina and zeolites
(HZSM-5, natural zeolite, Mordenite etc.), were screened for
polypropylene degradation in the range of 350-450 degrees C. The
degradation products of polypropylene, especially a liquid fraction,
formed over solid acid catalysts, were analyzed by GC/MS. The
degradation products are distributed in a narrow range of carbon number
compared with those obtained by thermal degradation. The liquid fraction
contained large amounts of iso-paraffins and aromatics as are present in
the gasoline fraction of petroleum. The natural zeolite catalyst
(clinoptilolite structure, occurring in Youngil area of Korea) was an
efficient catalyst for the polypropylene degradation. The acidity and
characteristic pore structure of this zeolite appear to be responsible
for the good performance. The effects of temperature and reaction time
on the product distribution have also been studied in this work.

AB A pure, highly crystalline clinoptilolite (CLI) zeolite with a Si/Al
ratio of 5.8 has been synthesized using a small amount (1%) of seed
crystals and tested as a catalyst for the skeletal isomerization of
I-butene at 623-723 K at atmospheric pressure. The catalytic results are
compared to those obtained from a ferrierite (FER) zeolite with a Si/Al
ratio of 7.6. It is found that selectivity for isobutene is very high on
CLI zeolite, but conversion was lower than for FER zeolite. The
simulated distribution and calculated potential profile of I-butene
molecules in CLI zeolite pore 10-ring channels show that the spatial
constraints imposed by the pores are very severe. The exceptional
selectivity and the low conversion of CLI zeolite results from the
strict restriction of adsorption to very specific sites, inhibiting
dimerization, as well as from the high potential barrier which reduces
mass transfer.

total combustion of volatile organic compounds (VOC), it is prerequisite
to elucidate the mechanism of these processes. In the lecture three
processes will be discussed.
Atomic level approach will be applied to study NO+NH3 reaction on Pt
foil to form N-2 and H2O. The reaction is accelerated by adding trace
amount of oxygen. In certain pressure and temperature range an
oscillation commences. The problem is discussed in terms of the special
composition of the surface species.
The NO decomposition was studied over Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts prepared by ion
exchange and solid state exchange methods. Transient kinetic studies and
FTIR measurements indicated the presence of excess oxygen on the surface
which is involved in the formation of Cu2+(O)(NO)(NO2) species. These
intermediates play a key role in the NO decomposition.
Total combustion of In-xylene was studied over palladium catalysts in
various forms (amorphous alloys, deposited over clinoptilolite and over
stainless steel flakes). Low/high activity states were observed due to
the different oxidation states of palladium measured by XPS method.
Homogeneous chain reaction initiated by the catalyst surface was found
to be responsible for the high activity state and involvement of the
surface carbon was the key issue in the self-sustained and damped
oscillations.

AB The site locations and adsorbate interactions of Cu2+ in Cu2+-exchanged
synthetic clinoptilolite have been determined by electron spin resonance
and electron spin echo modulation spectroscopies. Strong effects of the
H+ Li+, Na+, and K+ cocations have been found on the coordination number
and on the location of the cupric ion. Cu2+ coordinates three molecules
of water in hydrated CuH-clinoptilolite (CuH-Clino) and in CuLi-Clino,
but only two molecules of water in hydrated CuNa-Clino and CuK-Clino.
Two cupric ion sites are observed in many cases and are attributed to
sites in ten-ring and eight-ring main channels. Activation to 400
degrees C is sufficient to remove these water molecules and cause
migration of Cu2+ to an eight-ring intersecting channel. Adsorption of
polar molecules such as water, ammonia, alcohols, and acetonitrile
causes the migration of Cu2+ into the main channels to coordinate with
the adsorbates. Cu2+ forms complexes with three molecules of ethanol and
four of ammonia in CuH-Clino, but only coordinates to two molecules of
ethanol or methanol and three of ammonia in CuNa-Clino, and to one
molecule of ethanol or methanol and three of ammonia in CuK-Clino. Cu2+
coordinates four molecules of acetonitrile at the center of a main
channel in clinoptilolite, and this coordination number is unaffected by
the alkali metal cocations.

containing iron species was analyzed in the hydrogenation of
ethylbenzene in the presence of thiophene. The location and coordination
of iron in the zeolite was modified by different thermal treatments
given to the catalysts. Studies by ESR showed that the state of iron
affects the nature and strength of the iron-nickel interaction.
Experimental results indicated the existence of a correlation between
that interaction and the resistance of the catalysts to thiophene
poisoning, in such a way that the stronger the iron-nickel interaction
the higher the sulfur resistance. An interpretation of the differences
in sulfur resistance of the catalysts based on the formation of surface
electron-deficient Ni species by interaction of Ni particles with Fe3+
of the zeolite is discussed.

oscillation at low conversion were observed over samples (II) and (III).
It was established that hysteresis is a general phenomenon in both
states and is not affected by the catalyst structure, but it can be
ascribed to Pd as active component. Transition between the low and high
activity state may be due to change in the PdO structure as was
indicated by XPS studies. Oscillation is indicative of the partial
accumulation of carbonaceous deposits over the catalysts at full
conversion, while damped oscillation might be a result of the change of
local concentration due to overheating the catalyst sample during
combustion.

AB Vapour-phase hydration of 1-butene at atmospheric pressure above 373 K
shows similar features on both H-clinoptilolite and sulphonic acid
ion-exchange resin: the initial reaction rate linearly increases with
the partial pressure of 1-butene and passes through a maximum as a
function of water pressure. Kinetics was evaluated accordingly. A
decrease in the 1-butene isomerization rate indicated that under
hydration conditions more than 99.9% of the acidic sites are hydrated. 
For the hydration, however, hydroxonium ions are the active centres
where an adsorbed water molecule reacts with gas-phase 1-butene in the
rate determining step. The equilibrated desorption of secondary butanol
ends the reaction. The kinetic inhibition by butanol can be suppressed
with water. Above ca. 0.2 bar water pressure inactive polydrated
hydroxonium ions are formed.

the overall yield of ethylbenzene and styrene on Fe-Gd-K-O/H-mordenite

AB The deactivation of Ni catalysts supported on a K-Clinoptilolite
containing iron species was studied in the hydrogenation of ethylbencene
in presence of thiophene. The coordination and location of the Fe3+
species was modified by thermal treatments. A correlation between the
nickel-iron interaction, evidenced by ESR, and the sulfur-resistance was
found. So, the sample calcined before the Ni impregnation has shown a
stronger interaction and higher sulfur-resistance. The contrary was
observed for a sample from which iron had been previously extracted. An
interpretation of the catalyst resistance towards thiophene poisoning
based on either the formation of surface electron-deficient Ni species
or the decoration of Ni particles by Fe3+ segregated by calcination is
discussed.

AB Natural clinoptilolite with a high concentration of calcium and
magnesium was investigated. Exchange with ammonium ions is effective for
total decationization of the zeolite and preparation of a catalyst with
a high acidity, but with organic access to o-xylene molecules. Zeolites
dealuminated with HCl can conduct the reaction with the participation of
bimolecular complexes in conversion of ethanol and o-xylene.

AB Both the interconversion of n-butenes and the oligomerization of
iso-butene proceed on acid sites as well as on transition metal ions in
cationic positions of zeolites. The reaction mechanisms are different
on these two types of zeolite catalysts. The addition of hydrogen
sulphide to olefins resulting exclusively in the formation of thiols and
thioethers are catalysed by transition metal ions introduced into
zeolites. On the same catalyst the two products can be converted into
each other. Acetylene can be hydrated to acetaldehyde with high
selectivity on late transition metal-forms of zeolites, when acid sites
are not generated and metal ions are not reduced. Cd-clinoptilolite
proved to be the most suitable catalyst.
