US-India Cooperative Research: Fundamental Studies of Nucleation and Crystal Growth of Zeolites and Hydrotalcites

描述：该奖项支持一项美印合作研究项目，研究沸石和水滑石的成核和晶体生长的基础研究。美国俄亥俄州立大学（OSU）的PI Prabir K. Dutta和印度巴夫纳加尔中央盐与海洋化学研究所（CSMCRI）的Raksh Vir Jasra将研究两类微孔材料的合成，即沸石和基于水滑石的层状双氢氧化物（HT）。目的是了解在沸石X合成体系中导致不完全结晶和/或杂质相形成的因素，并了解ht类化合物的结晶动力学。研究范围：研究小组相互补充，每个小组都有高素质的高级研究人员，并建立了研究记录。对于CSMCRI来说，微孔材料合成是一个关键的技术领域，Jasra博士在沸石合成领域有着丰富的研究经验。俄勒冈州立大学将专注于基本结构方面，并确定控制x沸石结晶的具体特征。他们的合作有望产生进步，增加对沸石和水滑石的科学理解。该项目对美国和印度有明显的互惠利益，并具有广泛的商业应用潜力。该奖项由国际项目部和材料研究部联合支持。

0096798Dutta Description: This award supports a US-India cooperative research project on Fundamental Studies of Nucleation and Crystal Growth of Zeolites and Hydrotalcites. US PI Prabir K. Dutta, Ohio State University (OSU) and Raksh Vir Jasra, Central Salt & Marine Chemicals Research Institute (CSMCRI), Bhavnagar, India will study the synthesis of two classes of microporous materials, zeolites, and hydrotalcite-based layered double hydroxides (HT). The objectives are to understand the factors leading to incomplete crystallization and/or formation of impurity phases in zeolite X systhesis systems, and to understand the crystallization dynamics of HT-like compounds.Scope: The research groups compliment one another and each group has highly qualified senior researchers with established research records. For CSMCRI, microporous material synthesis is a key technology area and Dr. Jasra has extensive research experience in the area of zeolite synthesis. OSU will focus on the fundamental structural aspects and identify the specific features that control the crystallization of zeolite X. Their collaboration is expected to produce advances that increase scientific understanding of zeolites and hydrotalcites. The project has clear mutual benefits for the US and India, as well as potential for broad commercial application. This award is jointly supported by the Division of International Programs and the Division of Materials Research.
