ITQ-52 is a new zeolite with industrial applications in catalysis, gas adsorption and separation, encapsulation and controlled release of molecules. This structure has been solved using X-ray diffraction data collected at BL04-MSPD.
A group of researchers from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Trinitat Pradell and Gloria Molina) and from Universitat de Vic (Joaquim Pla and Judit Molera) have measured in ALBA different decorations in glass and glazed ceramics from the historical periods of early Islamic glazes and late Renaissance. The aim of this research is to determine the differences in materials and technology in the periods and regions analyzed.
The new ICP-ITQ-ICIQ-ALBA Capillary flow cell allows to perform high pressure (up to ~15 bars) and high temperature experiments (up to 750C) and/or flow gas(es) during data acquisition. The capillary flow cell is shown in figure 1. The gas flow, temperature and pressure are remotely controlled with the ITQ-ALBA cabinet.
