Nano-zeolite CoAPO-5 as a member of AFI family, was synthesized via a hydrothermal treatment, and structurally characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). The effects of crystallization temperature and time on the structure of these powder products were studied. XRD patterns of the synthesized powders revealed a […]
Polyacrylonitril (PAN)-supported chitosan (CS) nanocomposite membranes were prepared by cross-linking the CS with 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTEOS) via sol-gel method. Pervaporative performances of the CS-SiO2/PAN membrane for dehydration of aqueous alcohol solutions were investigated. From SEM cross-sectional images of the membrane, the spongy pores and the finger-like pores were found in cortex and intermediate layer. The PAN […]
