Natural gas hydrates have a high potential as the 21st century new energy resource, because it have a large amount of deposits in many deep-water and permafrost regions of the world widely. Natural gas hydrate is formed by physical binding between water molecule and gas mainly composed of methane, which is captured in the cavities of water molecules under the specific temperature and pressure. $1m^3$ methane hydrate can be decomposed to the methane gas of $172m^3$ and water of $0.8m^3$ at standard condition. Therefore, there are a lot of practical applications such as separation processes, natural gas storage transportation and carbon dioxide sequestration. For the industrial utilization of methane hydrate, it is very important to rapidly manufacture hydrate. However, when methane hydrate is artificially formed, its reaction time may be too long and the gas consumption in water becomes relatively low, because the reaction rate between water and gas is low. So in this study, hydrate formation was experimented by adding natural zeolite and Synthetic zeolite 5A in distilled water, respectively. The results show that when the Synthetic zeolite 5A of 0.01 wt% was, the amount of gas consumed during the formation of methane hydrate was higher than that in the natural zeolite. Also, the natural zeolite and Synthetic zeolite 5A decreased the hydrate formation time to a greater extent than the distilled water at the same subcooling temperature.

In this study, adsorption of polychlorinated biphenyls(PCBs) in transformer oil on powder activated carbon (PAC) and synthetic zeolite was evaluated. Adsorption characteristics of PCBs on the PAC and zeolite has been investigated in a batch system with respect to adsorbents amount and contact time. BET results showed 908 m2/g for PAC and 483 m2/g for zeolite. The adsorption capacity of PCBs increased with an increasing input amount of absorbent. The adsorption experimental results showed that PAC removed 90% of input PCBs in transformer oil while zeolite removed only 64%. Adsorption of PCBs to PAC and zeolite fit the Freundlich model well. The Freundlich parameter, Kf, for PAC and zeolite was 193.1 and 43.0 respectively, indicating that PAC is effect adsorbent for PCBs adsorption in transformer oil.

In this study, zeolites were synthesized by a fusion and a hydrothermal methods using a coal fly ash and a waste catalyst. The recovery performance of metal ions on the structure property of synthetic zeolites was evaluated as comparing the adsorption kinetics (Lagergen 2nd order model) and isotherm (Langmuir model) of $Co^{2+},\;Ni^{2+}$, and $Cu^{2+}$ ions. The synthetic zeolites (Z-C1 and Z-W5) were similarly assigned to XRD peaks in a reagent grade Na-A zeolite (Z-WK : $Na_{12}Al_{12}Si_{12}O_{48}\;27.4H_2O$). Adsorption rates of Z-W5 and Z-C1 were in the order of $Cu^{2+}\;>\;Co^{2+}\;>\;Ni^{2+}\;and\;Ni^{2+}\;>\;Cu^{2+}\;>\;Co^{2+}$, respectively. They had influenced upon structure properties of zeolite. Selectivities of metal ions and maximum equilibrium adsorption capacities, $q_{max}$, in Z-C1 and Z-W5 were in the order of $Ni^{2+}$ (127.9 mg/g) > $Cu^{2+}$ (94.7 mg/g) > $Co^{2+}$ (82.6 mg/g) and $Cu^{2+}$ (141.3 mg/g) > $Co^{2+}$ (122.2 mg/g) > $Ni^{2+}$ (87.6 mg/g), respectively. The results show that the synthetic zeolites, Z-C1 and Z-W5, are able to recover metal ions selectively in wastewater.

This study was conducted to explore the optimum proportion of zeolite and zeolite-kaolin as additives to cement clinker and gypsum samples, while maintaining the strength properties of produced environmentally sustainable cements. According to the British standard method, zeolite was added to cement clinker in proportions of 5-12% and 10-12% by weight, respectively, in the preparation of samples of zeolite-containing cement and zeolite-kaolin-based cement. Kaolin was used as a second additive as 10-20% of the total weight. The compressive strength tests were performed on base cement samples according to a standard procedure given in ASTM C109 Compressive Strength of Hydraulic Cement. These values were compared with those of the reference sample and the Omani allowable limits. The results indicated that the best compressive strength values were obtained with 88% cement clinker, 5% gypsum, and 7% zeolite for the zeolite-containing cement. Quantities of 70% cement clinker, 5% gypsum, 10% zeolite, and 15% kaolin gave the best results for zeolite-kaolin-based cement, resulting in a substitution of than 25% cement clinker. The study concluded that the partial cement clinker replacement using zeolite/kaolin combination may have a great influence on the reduction of $CO_2$ emission and energy saving in cement manufacturing.

미립담체에 고정된 Vero 세포를 이용한 돼지유행성설사병 바이러스 백신의 생산성을 향상시키기 위하여 Phillipsite-Gismondine synthetic zeolite가 투석막에 충진된 Carberry type 생물반응기를 사용하여 암모늄 이온을 선택적으로 흡착하였다. Impeller shaft 및 흡착제 사이에 응집된 미립담체 때문에 세포 성장이 감소하는 것으로 보이나, 포도당 소모량과 젖산 생성량의 비교를 통해 판단 할 때 zeolite는 세포에 독성을 나타내지 않았다. 배양배지로부터 암모늄 이온을 제거함으로써 세포성장 및 바이러스 생산 두 단계 모두가 크게 개선되었다. 바이러스 생산에 있어서는 암모늄 이온 제거에 의해 대조군과 비교하여 바이러스 역가가 2배 이상 향상되었다. 연구결과 zeolite는 암모늄 이온을 효과적으로 흡착제거하여 바이러스 백신의 생산성을 높일 수 있는 이상적인 흡착제임을 확인하였다.

ZSM-5 zeolite composite membranes have been synthesized from a silica sol solution containing TPABr as an organic template by the dip-coating and the pressurized-coating hydrothermal treatment techniques. The CO2 separation efficiency of synthesized composite membranes was also investigated. The permeation mechanism of CO2 through ZSM-5 membranses was the surface diffusion, and that of N2, O2, and He gases was Knudsen diffusion or activated diffusion depending on the synthetic method of membranes and the measurement temperature. The CO2/N2 separation factor of the membrane prepared by the dip-coating hydrothermal treatment was 2.5 at about 12$0^{\circ}C$, while the ZSM-5 composite membrane synthesized by the pressurized-coating hydrothermal treatment technique showed the CO2/N2 separation factor of 9.0 at room temperature higher than that ever reported in the literature.

NaX zeolite 결정을 성장시키기 위하여 ${4.12{Na}_{2}O{\cdot}{Al}_{2}{O}_{3}{\cdot}3.5{SiO}_{2}{\cdot}593{H}_{2}O$의 몰비를 가진 모액에 합성된 NaX powder(1~2$\mu\textrm{m}$)를 seed를 첨가하였다. 그 결과 초기 혼합물에 seed를 첨가하므로 결정화 시간을 감소시킬수 있었으며, 결정의 크기도 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 결정화 시간을 증가시키면 NaX zeolite 결정은 보다 안정한 NaP zeolite와 또 다른 상으로의 전이가 발생하였다. 본 연구에서 우리는 이러한 결과에 대해서 XRD, SEM, FT-IR과 BET을 이용하여 상세하게 연구하였다.

암모니아는 현대 산업에서 빠질 수 없는 유용한 물질이다. 일반적으로 농업용 폐기물의 분해과정을 통해 배출되며 인체에 매우 해로운 독극물로 알려져 있다. 산업에서 흔하게 쓰이는 물질이기에 직접 누출이나 간접 누출로 인한 수질오염의 가능성이 있다. 이 경우 암모늄이온을 빠르게 제거하는 데는 제올라이트의 흡착능을 이용하는 것이 좋지만 흡착만으로는 충분히 제거할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 상용 제올라이트의 흡착능을 통한 암모늄이온의 제거 효율과 미생물의 생물학적 메커니즘을 통한 제거효율을 비교하였다. 추가적으로 제올라이트에 미생물을 고정하여 화학적 흡착 및 생물학적 전환 기술을 병합하여 그 효율을 비교하였다. 그 결과 100 ppm 기준 상용 제올라이트의 경우 2-4 h 사이에 67-81%의 제거효율을 보이는데 반해 선정 미생물인 Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. Pneumoniae를 이용한 경우 8 h 내에 최대 97%의 제거 효율을 나타냈었다. 그리고 미생물을 제올라이트에 고정시켰을 때 8 h 이내에 98.5%로 제거 효율 및 속도가 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The synthetic conditions and characteristics of ZSM-5 type zeolites (ZSM-5/silicalite) for the preparation of the zeolite composite membranes for gas separation were investigated. ZSM-5 zeolites could be synthesized by the hydrothermal treatment of the mixture of colloidal silica sol aluminum nitrate sodium hydroxide and TPABr at a temperature range of 150-17$0^{\circ}C$ in the autoclave. Silicalties were done from the solution of water glass water and TPABr. Their crystalline structures transformed from orthorhombic to monoclinic from and their pore structures of three-dimensional channels were opened as TPABr filling channels was burned off at the calcination temperature of 50$0^{\circ}C$. The specific surface area of the calcined zeolite was about 360 m3/g and its surface property was hydrophobic. Crystal sizes of ZSM-5 and silicalite were 0.5-1.0${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 8-10${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ respectively having no change due to the calcination. In particular the shape and the size of the ZSM-5 type zeolite were sensitively varied with silica sources and concentrations of reaction solutions/sols.
