Liquid-phase benzylation of toluene by benzyl alcohol over micro-mesoporous hierarchical mordenite zeolite.

In this work, post-synthetic effective acid (HNO) and base (NaOH) etching technique are used to create hierarchical mordenite having different pore structure. The powder X-ray diffraction (P-XRD) technique was used to confirm the crystalline structure of the base-modified and acid-modified mordenite. Field emission-scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) was employed to confirm the structural morphology of the materials.

Synthesis of zeolite-doped polyaniline composite for photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue from aqueous solution.

The generation of wastewater has increased rapidly with the expansion of industries, hence, posing a risk to human health and the environment. The development of novel materials and technologies for textile wastewater treatment is constantly evolving. In this work, the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue employing ZSM-5 zeolite-doped polyaniline composites is presented.
