AbstractAbstract
[en] The synthesis of Zeolite A from locally available kaolin clay (Shwe Taung) in Myanmar has been attempted. The kaolinite was converted to metakaoli, by treating with NaOH at 820C for 1hr, and hydrothermal treatment.It was found that the solution of fused clay powder can be crystallized at 100C under ambient pressure to synthesize Zeolite A. The process variables for synthesis have been optimized in order to produce Zeolite A at a lower price. The mole ratio of SiO2/Al2O3 for kaolin was fixed at 2.54. The effects of various factors (aging time and agitation time) on the structure of the sample were extensively investigated. The Shwe Taung clay was characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The samples were characterized by XRD. The results show that the pure form Zeolite A can be prepared with a molar composition of (2.54 SiO3: Al2O3: 5.8Na2O: 256 H2O) by agitation at room temperature for 30min. The mixture was aged for 24 hour at the same temperature and crystallized at 100C for 48 hour.
