Preparation of Zeolite ZSM5 and Catalysis of Xylene Isomerization – Video

Posted on by


Preparation of Zeolite ZSM5 and Catalysis of Xylene Isomerization
Zeolites are three-dimensional, crystalline networks of AlO4- and SiO4 tetrahedra. Their crystallization is often a nucleation-controlled process from a gel and the structure that crystallizes depends on the cations present. "A multitude of commercial processes have been developed that exploit size exclusion and selective molecular diffusivity properties based upon the nanosize pore and channel structure of zeolites... The demand for two C8 isomers, paraxylene and orthoxylene, is much greater than that for the C8 isomers metaxylene and ethylbenzene. H-ZSM5 with its 0.6 nm pore size has the ability to isomerize xylenes with little cracking of the feedstock. A second crucial property is that paraxylene has a much higher diffusivity in H-ZSM5 than do the other xylene isomers. This means that the paraxylene molecules can more easily diffuse out of the zeolite crystal, whereas the ortho and metaxylene isomers are effectively trapped within the pores." -Vision for Nanotechnology R D in the Next Decade, National Science and Technology Council IWGN Workshop Report, Section 9.7.4 Nanoscale Catalysts (1999). ZSM-5, Zeolite Socony Mobil #5, is a catalyst first made by Argauer and Landolt in 1972 (US Patent 3702886). It is a medium pore zeolite with channels defined by ten-membered rings. The synthesis involves three different solutions. The first solution is the source of alumina, sodium ions, and hydroxide ions; in the presence of excess base the alumina will form soluble Al(OH)4 ...From:Mrsec IegViews:0 0ratingsTime:10:34More inScience Technology

Nano Labs (CTLE) Announces Second Commercial Product Launch: Industrial Diamonds

Posted on by

DETROIT, MI--(Marketwire - Dec 7, 2012) - Nano Labs Corp. ( OTCQB : CTLE ) is pleased to announce today that it will be moving forward to patent and commercialize the process of producing industrial diamonds using the Company's proprietary nanotechnology.

Nano Labs' proprietary nanotechnology will utilize tequila as an original precursor for the development of micro crystalline diamond thin films, a process offering an excellent alternative to producing industrial-scale diamond thin films for practical applications at a very low cost.

According to the World Diamond Council, an estimated US$13 billion worth of rough diamonds are produced per year. Industrial diamonds -- which comprise about 70% of diamonds -- are sold for industrial applications including cutting, drilling, grinding, and polishing in industrial applications.

"Diamonds are the hardest natural material known to man and the most effective heat conducting material, which also expands very little when subjected to high temperatures. This is unlike most other conducting materials, and diamonds are resistant to most acids and alkalis," said Dr. Victor Castano, CEO of Innovation at Nano Labs. "In addition to being a very low cost alternative to current synthetic diamonds used in traditional industrial applications, diamonds can be explored for use as semiconductors suitable for building microchips and other applications in electronics."

In 2011, total U.S. domestic production of industrial diamond was estimated to be 98.2 million carats, and the U.S. was one of the world's leading markets. The following industry sectors are major consumers of industrial diamond: computer chip production, construction, machinery manufacturing, mining services (drilling for mineral, oil, and gas exploration), stone cutting and polishing, and transportation systems (infrastructure and vehicles).

Stone cutting and highway building, milling, and repair consumed most of the industrial diamond stone. About 99% of the U.S. industrial diamond market now uses synthetic industrial diamond because its quality can be controlled and its properties can be customized to fit specific requirements. 1

"This innovative technology will allow Nano Labs to pursue several key licensing agreements in different sectors of today's marketplace," said Mr. Bernardo Camacho Chavarria, President of Nano Labs. "Our strategy makes investing in Nano Labs a diversified investment with the ability to generate revenues from different market sectors."

In 2011, China was the world's leading producer of synthetic industrial diamond, with annual production exceeding 4 billion carats. The United States is likely to continue to be one of the world's leading markets for industrial diamond into the next decade and likely will remain a significant producer and exporter of synthetic industrial diamond as well.

Owing to continued recovery from impacts of the economic recession on U.S. manufacturing sectors that utilize industrial diamond, U.S. imports in 2011 increased an estimated 37% compared with those of 2010. U.S. demand for industrial diamond is likely to continue in the construction sector as the United States continues building, milling, and repairing the nation's highway system. Industrial diamond coats the cutting edge of saws used to cut cement in highway construction and repair work. 1

GETTING STARTED WITH MOLECULES
Director: Jane Nisselson Camera: Eric Edwards, Marcus Burnett Music: Pat Irwin Models from Ava Helen and Linus Pauling Papers at the Special Collections, University Libraries, Oregon State University A segment from the film "Invisible Beauty" on the design of the molecule. The most common perception of the molecule is represented by the "tinker toy image" -- popularized by the models of 2x Nobel prize winning scientist Linus Pauling. The ongoing discovery of how structure determines behavior has led from the iconic double helix to molecular gastronomy. The film clip here is a selection of models built by 2 times Nobel prize winning scientist Linus Pauling. It is simply to show the aesthetic quality and range of structures that he constructed and does not tell a larger story than that. Subsequent sections will be visual segments portraying molecular design from full scale and nano engineering, molecular gastronomy, fragrance molecule inventions, genomics, etc.From:vbnycViews:0 0ratingsTime:02:26More inScience Technology
