Pal served as a multifunctional precursor, providing inherent Si, Al, Fe, Mg, K, and Ca elements that were directly incorporated into the catalyst framework without the addition of external metal sources. This approach facilitated the formation of hierarchically porous SAPO-34 zeolites with a well-balanced distribution of Brønsted and Lewis acid sites, as confirmed by comprehensive characterization techniques including XRD, SEM, BET, XPS, and NH<sub>3</sub>-TPD. Complete methanol conversion was achieved over the MeAPSO-34 zeolite catalyst, with ethylene and propylene selectivities of 69.0 % and 27.4 %, respectively, at a reaction temperature of 410 °C, a methanol-to-water feed ratio of 1:6, and a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 1 h<sup>−1</sup>. Notably, the synergistic interaction among the K, Ca, Fe, and Mg multi-metallic components significantly promoted the water-gas shift reaction and effectively suppressed coke deposition. Furthermore, the nanostructured morphology of the catalyst reduced the diffusion limitations by shortening the gas-phase transport pathways, thereby enhancing the overall catalytic performance of the SAPO-34 zeolite.

During wetting under unstressed conditions for pouring GB, coarse and high-density granules disaggregated, while fine grains aggregated, resulting in larger-sized and lower-density aggregates. Particle swelling upon wetting caused a significant decrease in the dry density of GB on pouring, indicating that wetter GB required greater compaction energy to achieve a specified dry density. Changes in particle size distribution after pouring and compaction also impacted the microstructure of the samples, directly influencing their subsequent HM behaviour, which was examined through the particle size evolution after different loading and wetting paths. The initial water content conditioned granule behaviour and its breakage upon loading. At low water content, stiff granules prompted breakage, thereby increasing sample compressibility. Conversely, aggregate sticking during loading at elevated water content protected the soft granules from breakage and reduced sample compression. The aggregation and expansion of aggregates dominated the HM response to further wetting, contributing to the swelling of samples even under high stress.

The investigation combined immersion tests, various analytical techniques, and conceptual reactive transport modeling to examine mineralogical transformation and structural changes at cement–bentonite interfaces. The results showed that seawater infiltration pathways significantly influenced interactions at the interface. When seawater passed through the cement and made contact with bentonite, interactions were limited to near-surface areas of the bentonite side. However, more extensive alterations of the bentonite were observed at the interface when seawater reached the cement via bentonite. High-pH cement specimens exhibited significant mineral alterations, including cement hydrate dissolution and secondary mineral formation, while low-pH cement specimens showed less extensive mineral changes. The research revealed that pH fronts, determined by cement type, controlled elemental distributions and mineral transformations. High-pH cement generated steeper chemical gradients, resulting in more substantial alterations in both materials. Low-pH cement showed minimal bentonite alteration due to its lower pH than high-pH cement, but underwent significant structural changes when exposed to seawater-derived magnesium. Near cementitious materials, exchangeable cation content of montmorillonite changed from Na-dominant to Ca-dominant, independent of cement type. Although montmorillonite dissolution was limited, secondary mineral formation significantly affected mass transfer properties.

The presence in the dry state of bentonite of smectite layers with basal spacings below the threshold basal spacing for helium diffusion, which is estimated to approx. 1.05 nm, is proposed to explain this result.
