ABSTRACTX-ray diffraction (XRD) and adsorption isotherms have long been traditional methods of characterising molecular sieves. By combining these techniques at low temperatures with variable temperature 129-Xe N.M.R. we now have a fuller understanding of the behaviour of sorbed layers inside these materials. In particular we have observed phase transformations of Xe in a polyhydroxyaluminium-pillared montmorillonite molecular sieve and have developed a model consistent with the data. In addition, using XRD, an interpillar distance of ca. 30Å was calculated. We present the first detailed low temperature studies of 129-Xe N.M.R. on these systems.

ABSTRACTThe stability of single-crystalline icosahedral Cd-Yb was investigated using X-ray diffraction methods in the temperature range 20 K ≤ T ≤ 900 K at ambient pressure and from ambient temperature to 873 K at about 9 GPa. Single-crystals remain stable at low temperatures and in the investigated HP-HT-regime. At high temperatures and ambient pressure, the quasicrystal decomposes. The application of mechanical stress at low temperatures yields to the same decomposition, the formation of Cd. A reaction of icosahedral Cd-Yb with traces of oxygen or water causing the decomposition seems reasonable, but a low-temperature instability of this binary quasi-crystal cannot be ruled out totally.

Two kinds of crystalline microporous metal aluminophosphate molecular sieves, magnesium cobalt aluminophosphate (MgCoAPO-5) and manganese cobalt aluminophosphate (MnCoAPO-5), were synthesized by hydrothermal crystallization method in order to improve the surface acidity and catalytic activity of AlPO4-5. The results of X-ray diffraction, infrared spectra and chemical compositions of MgCoAPO-5 and MnCoAPO-5 indicate that Mg-Co or Mn-Co enter the framework of AlPO4-5 molecular sieve without disrupting the microporous framework. However, the results of catalytic studies show that MgCoAPO-5 and MnCoAPO-5 possess much higher surface acidity and catalytic activity than the unmodified AlPO4-5.

Abstract To study the affinity of 3A aluminosilicate adsorbents to prevent oligomerization of olefin molecules and forming green oil, physical and chemical properties of 3A molecular sieves are measured by using characterization techniques such as temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), nitrogen (N2) and water adsorptions, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), crushing strength, and carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption. Moreover, coke formation affinities of the understudy adsorbents are evaluated in a bench-scale system using 1-butene and 1,3-butadiene at temperatures of 220 and 260 °C, and outcomes are validated against the actual data gathered from an industrial scale olefin dehydration plant. Results confirm that the type of binder and the amount of ion exchange affect the performance of a 3A molecular sieve nominated for dehydrating olefinic streams. The binder with the least amount of acidity is preferred, and at least 35% of Na ions of the 4A zeolite should be exchanged with K ions to make it applicable for synthesizing an appropriate 3A molecular sieve. Furthermore, to control the oligomerization and inhibit green oil formation, the CO2 adsorption and acidity of Trisiv shape molecular sieves with the sizes of 1/4 inch should be less than 0.5 wt % and 1.7 mmol NH3/g, respectively. For extrudate shape with the sizes of 1/16 inch CO2 adsorption and acidity should be less than 0.2 wt % and 2.2 mmol NH3/g, respectively.

AbstractReactive aluminas, including rapidly calcined gibbsites, offer exciting potential for forming ceramic materials at low temperatures. New x-ray amorphous aluminas will react with water at room temperatures to form compacts with 10–50 MPa tensile strengths, via viscous slurries. The cementious behavior of these materials has been examined. The results of TGA, x-ray diffraction, SEM, mechanical properties, and other characterization techniques, as applied to these systems, will be discussed.

The nanosized channels of SBA-15 molecular sieves were used as template and arsenano-III (ASA-III) was trapped inside the SBA-15 molecular sieves by means of liquid grafting method. The prepared nanocomposite materials were characterized by the powder X-ray diffraction, low temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption and solid diffuse reflectance absorption spectra. The powder X-ray diffraction indicated the structure of the (SBA-15)-(ASA-III) still remains two-dimensional hexagonal mesostructrure. The low temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption research showed that the ASA-III was present on the inner surface and partially occupied the channels of the molecular sieve. The UV-Vis solid state diffuse reflectance absorption spectra of the prepared composite materials showed the steroconfinmment effect of the host SBA-15 channels on the guest ASA-III and the guest was in the channels of the SBA-15 host. Luminous spectra showed that the prepared (SBA-15)-(ASA-III) nanocomposite materials have the investigating optical properties.

This paper presents an experimental procedure for the synthesis of a type-A zeolite molecular sieve, usable in the separation of an ethanol-water mixture. The type-A zeolite molecular sieve is obtained from a reactive mixture formed by a source of alumina, a source of silica and a promoter. Characterization of the molecular sieves obtained in this work was undertaken using X-ray diffraction (XRD), adsorption isotherms and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results from the characterization procedures showed that part of the product presented a pore diameter suitable for the separation of an ethanol-water mixture.

Abstract The reaction of N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)carbodiimide with equimolar quantities of tris[(triphenylphosphine)gold]oxonium tetrafluoroborate in dichloromethane at -40°C gives high yields of a trinuclear complex {[(Ph3P)Au]2NCN[Au(PPh3)]}+ BF4-(1). According to variable temperature NMR data the cation is fluxional in solution with a rapid site exchange of the [(Ph3P)Au] units, but has an unsymmetrical (N,N,N′) low temperature ground state configuration. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study has shown that in the crystal lattice these cations are associated further into cyclic, hexanuclear dimers through two short head-to-tail Au-Au contacts (auriophilicity). Treatment of complex 1 with one equivalent of [(Ph3P)Au]+ BF4- in tetrahydrofuran affords a tetranuclear complex {[(Ph3P)Au]2NCN[Au(PPh3)]2}2+ 2BF4- (2). The ambient temperature NMR spectra of 2 suggest a fluxional, pseudo-symmetrical structure, but at low temperature a set of three 31P signals (1:2:3 intensity) indicates an aggregation into higher nuclearity species with non-equivalent [Au(PPh3)] units
