By studying the ammoniation of the silicoaluminophosphate-type zeolites H-SAPO-34 and H-SAPO-37 by in situ 1 H and 27 Al MAS NMR under continuous-flow (CF) conditions, a two-step adsorption process was determined. The first ammoniation step consists of an adsorption of ammonia exclusively at Brønsted acidic bridging OH groups (SiOHAl), leading to the formation of ammonium ions (NH 4 -form). The second ammoniation step, which occurs at a higher ammonia coverage, consists of a coordination of ammonia molecules to framework Al atoms in ≡P-O-Al≡ bridges. This second adsorption step causes a change of the aluminum coordination from a tetrahedral coordination to an octahedral coordination. The ammonia coordination to Al atoms is reversible when the material is purged at 413 K. The hydration of NH 4 -form silicoaluminophosphates (ammoniated bridging OH groups) causes a coordination of water molecules exclusively to Al atoms in ≡P-O-Al≡ bridges, leading to a hydrolysis of the framework. Therefore, a hydrolysis of the silicoaluminophosphate framework is hindered if the bridging OH groups (SiOHAl), as well as the aluminophosphate framework (≡P-O-Al≡), is covered by ammonia. The latter may support the stabilizing effect of preloaded ammonia on H-form silicoaluminophosphates toward hydration and weak hydrothermal treatments, as recently observed for H-SAPO-34.
Task parallelism and data parallelism are often seen as mutually exclusive approaches to parallel programming. Yet there are important classes of application, f o r example in niultidisciplanary simulaiion and command and control, that would benefit from an integration of the two approaches. In this paper, we describe a programming system that we are developing to explore this sort of integration. This system builds on previous work on task-parallel and data-parallel Fortran compilers to provide an environment in which the task-parallel language Fortran M can be used to coordinate data-parallel High Performance Fordran tasks. We use an image-processing problem to illustrate the issues that arise when building an integrated compilation system of this sort.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
