Aluminosilicate zeolites are synthesized under hydrothermal conditions in a basic/alkaline medium in the pH range between 9 and 14. The synthesis of MFI-type zeolite in an acidic medium is presented. The critical parameter determining the zeolite formation in an acidic medium was found to be the isoelectric point (IEP) of gel particles. MFI-type zeolite was synthesized above the isoelectric point of the employed silica source, where the silica species exhibit a negative charge and the paradigm of zeolite formation based on the electrostatic interaction with the positively charged template is retained. No zeolite formation is observed below the isoelectric point of silica. The impact of aluminum on the zeolite formation is also studied. The results of this study will serve to extend the synthesis field of high silica zeolites to the acidic medium and thus open new opportunities to control the zeolite properties.

To realize the comprehensive utilization of large amounts of high-ash coal slime and comprehensively understand the excellent performance of nutrient release and lead and cadmium adsorption of high-ash coal slime silicon composite materials, green and safe mild hydrothermal conditions (200 °C) were used to prepare the rich-rich coal slime. Zeolite/tobermorite composites (Z-TOBs) were used in this study. Batch adsorption tests and repeated extraction tests were used to determine whether silicon, potassium, and calcium nutrients of Z-TOBs have sustained release properties and are affected by pH.

Chemical conversion of CO2 is providing an opportunity to mitigate the global warming induced by the overconsumption of fossil fuel. Cu has been regarded as one of the most powerful contenders in catalyzing CO2 conversion, yet the precise manipulation of its surface state and the nearby chemical environment continues to pose a formidable challenge. In this work, we report a high-efficiency catalyst by utilizing CeO2 and pure silicon zeolite (S1) to co-activate Cu species.

Sugarcane smut is a widespread fungal disease, which severely impairs the quality and sugar yield of sugarcane. Early detection is crucial for mitigating its impact, which makes the development of a highly sensitive and accurate detection method essential. Herein, the Mn-doped zeolite imidazolate framework (ZIF-67), synthesized via a nano-confined-reactor approach, is designed to significantly enhance electron transport and boost the enzyme loading capacity within biofuel cells, thereby potentially enhancing their overall performance.

The synthesis of coal bottom ash-induced zeolite (Si-Al material) has been widely reported; however, the selective recovery of the three main elements, viz., Si, Al, and Fe, from coal bottom ash for the synthesis of reactive adsorbents has not yet been reported. In this study, we separated the magnetic and non-magnetic fractions of coal bottom ash to selectively recover Fe and Si-Al for synthesizing nanoscale zero-valent iron@zeolite (NZVI@ZBA) composites with uniform formation of Fe(0) nanoparticles on the ZBA surface.

Encapsulating enzymes in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) enhances enzyme protection and improves the accuracy of inhibitor recognition and screening. Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) has been widely used as a host matrix for enzyme immobilization. However, challenges such as the microporous structure and hydrophobicity of ZIF-8, along with the protonation of 2-methylimidazole, hinder the maintenance of activity and the rapid formation of composite.
