Nanosized zeolites have attracted interest for many applications including catalysis due to their higher surface area and hence more accessible active sites compared to the microsize zeolite particles. Ball milling is considered as a fast and an efficient technique to reduce the particle size down to nanometer range. However, it is usually accompanied by the formation of large undesired flakes and slabs with a loss of crystallinity and surface area. This study attempts to utilize carbon nanostructures (CNS) as a damping material to overcome the reported drawbacks. The idea of using CNS as a damping material is novel as this is the first study which reports the usage of CNS as damping material that prevents the zeolite micro particles from severe loss in crystallinity compared to the same process without CNS addition. Utilization of CNS gives two-fold advantages pertaining to its flexibility and superior mechanical properties and secondly the ease by which it can be removed off through oxidation after ball milling. Different parameters such as the ball milling solvent and post treatment conditions were varied and studied to observe the changes in final ball milled particle properties, such as morphology, crystallinity index, surface area and particle size distribution. Optimum ball milling and post treatment conditions registered a final zeolite surface area of 1522 m²/g compared to the initial 850 m²/g for micron sized particles. Moreover, x-ray diffraction and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) images revealed highly crystalline zeolite nano particles with a crystallinity index of 38% which is more than 30% higher than previously reported study of ball milled zeolite particles without any damping material.

纳米尺寸的沸石由于其较高的表面积并因此与微米尺寸的沸石颗粒相比具有更多可及的活性位点而引起了包括催化在内的许多应用的兴趣。球磨被认为是将粒径减小至纳米范围的快速且有效的技术。但是，通常伴随着大的不希望的薄片和薄片的形成，而这些薄片和薄片的结晶度和表面积损失了。这项研究试图利用碳纳米结构（CNS）作为阻尼材料来克服所报道的缺点。使用CNS作为阻尼材料的想法是新颖的，因为这是第一项研究，其报道了CNS作为阻尼材料的使用，与不添加CNS的相同方法相比，其防止了沸石微粒的结晶度的严重损失。利用CNS具有两个优点，即它的柔韧性和优异的机械性能，其次是在球磨后可通过氧化将其去除的简便性。改变不同的参数，例如球磨溶剂和后处理条件，并进行研究以观察最终球磨的颗粒性质的变化，例如形态，结晶度指数，表面积和粒径分布。最佳的球磨和后处理条件可以使最终沸石表面积达到1522 m 改变不同的参数，例如球磨溶剂和后处理条件，并进行研究以观察最终球磨的颗粒性质的变化，例如形态，结晶度，表面积和粒径分布。最佳的球磨和后处理条件可以使最终沸石表面积达到1522 m 改变不同的参数，例如球磨溶剂和后处理条件，并进行研究以观察最终球磨的颗粒性质的变化，例如形态，结晶度，表面积和粒径分布。最佳的球磨和后处理条件可以使最终沸石表面积达到1522 m² / g，而微米级颗粒的初始850 m ² / g。此外，X射线衍射和高分辨率透射电子显微镜（HR-TEM）图像显示出高结晶度的沸石纳米颗粒，其结晶度指数为38％，比之前报道的无阻尼球磨沸石颗粒的研究高出30％以上。材料。
