Aluminum ion exchange was employed to introduce Lewis acidity into zeolites BEA, mordenite (MOR), MFI, and FAU (Si/Al = 11–15) thereby evaluate what factors affect the generation activity of extra-framework acid sites (LAS) in zeolites. After treatment, all retain their framework structure porosity characteristics, as evidenced by diffraction nitrogen physisorption. The increase total aluminum content BEA appreciable, whereas MOR MFI showed very little uptake aluminum. quantitatively follows...
Lewis acidity was introduced into zeolite Y (Si/Al = 30) by a facile ion-exchange of aluminum cations followed calcination. X-ray diffraction and nitrogen physisorption suggest that the zeolitic framework is retained after these treatments. With an increase in total extra-framework modified zeolites, there pronounced number acid sites, as illustrated FTIR spectroscopy adsorbed pyridine carbon monoxide, whereas no significant change Brønsted sites observed. Likewise, catalytic activity, i.e....
Unveiling catalytic mechanisms at a molecular level aids rational catalyst design and selectivity control for process optimization. In this study, we find that the Brønsted acid site density of zeolite efficiently controls guaiacol pyrolysis mechanism. Guaiacol demethylation to catechol initiates reaction, as evidenced by detected methyl radicals. The mechanism branches form either fulvenone (c-C5H4 = C O), reactive ketene intermediate, dehydration, or phenol acid-catalyzed dehydroxylation....
Abstract A series Manganese and Gadolinium doped Zinc-Strontium hexaferrites, Sr 2 Zn − x Mn Fe 12− 12−y Gd y O 22 (x = 0.0–1.0, 0.0-0.1), was fabricated by chemical co-precipitation route. XRD analysis confirmed the single magnetoplumbite phase formed in hexaferrites with average crystallite size range 27–38 nm. Surface morphology distribution also explored using Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The dielectric parameters i.e. constant, loss dielectic tan were measured at ambient...
