Local silica sand as a silica source in the synthesis of Y zeolite

Abstract

The objective of this research is to generate Y zeolite using local silica sand as a source of silica via the hydrothermal method. Prior to synthesis, contaminants were removed from the local silica sand using hydrochloric acid, and Al2O3 was utilized as an aluminum source. Y zeolite was hydrothermally synthesized at 100± 1°C. Room temperature and 48 h were chosen as the aging temperature and period, respectively. In this synthesis, the impact of reaction time and different SiO2/Al2O3 and Na2O/SiO2 ratios were explored. The synthesized samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, and FT‐IR. Y zeolite, with a low SiO2/Al2O3 ratio (3.0–3.9), was synthesized at a high yield under low alkalinity conditions (Na2O/SiO2 = 0.9–2.0) after optimizing the synthesis time. The competitive phase was P zeolite, which was found in the products at high reaction time (12 h). However, pure Y zeolite with high crystallinity was produced under optimum circumstances, such as crystallization temperature (100°C) and 10 h. The findings reveal that reaction time has a role in the generation of Y zeolite. It has been revealed that low‐cost raw materials like silica sand can be utilized to produce Y zeolite. The NaY zeolites were subsequently transformed into HY by ammonium exchange and calcination.

Preparation of high-performance supercapacitor electrode with nanocomposite of CuO/NCNO flower-like

“…Based on the few provided reports on the application of N-doped CNOs structures, much effort is needed to improve these carbon structures’ application in the supercapacitors field 46 . Using transition metal oxides (TMOs) in the electrode structure increases reversible redox reactions, energy density, and capacitance 47 , 48 . Although using TMOs in the electrode structures (pseudo-capacitive electrodes) increases the specific capacitance, they can effectively reduce the energy density due to the limited potential window.…”

A Modified Electrochemical Sensor Based on N,S-Doped Carbon Dots/Carbon Nanotube-Poly(Amidoamine) Dendrimer Hybrids for Imatinib Mesylate Determination

“…With molecular structure of 4-[(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]a-N-[4-methyl-3-[(4-pyridin-3ylpyrimidin-2-yl)amino]phenyl] benzamide, IMAT has been used to treat chronic melodic leukemia (CML) [2]. When this drug is administered, the activity of the tyrosine kinase enzyme, whose main function is to inhibit the Bcr-Abl fusion protein, is prevented, and the growth rate of cancer cells is reduced [3,4]. Specific dosages of IMAT lead to different concentrations in the bloodstreams of patients, which suggests a relationship between the concentration level of this drug and the clinical response [5].…”
