Abstract:

The effects of varying the silica source on synthesis of NaX zeolite crystals via conventional hydrothermal method have been investigated. Five different silica sources were selected while other parameters like Al source, reaction and aging time, SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio and temperature were same. The prepared products were characterized by XRD technique. The results showed that different crystallites, different conversion rates and different amounts of impurity phase in the synthesized NaX zeolite. For more evidence the best obtained powder of NaX zeolite nanoparticles was checked by FTIR, SEM, TGA, and BET analysis. The corresponding sample had a good agreement with standard IR peaks, octahedral nanocrystals of zeolite X, thermal stability up to 800°C, surface area 751.88 m2/g and total pore Volume 0.3599 cm3/g respectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of different silica sources significantly influence the synthesized products.

Investigation of the Use of Various Silica Source on NaX Zeolite Properties

Silicon and aluminum sources are most important reactants in the synthesis of zeolite. The use of the silicon source has an important effect on the crystallization of zeolites. Also, it can change the properties of the end product. This work reports the influence of three common commercial silica sources such as colloidal silica (Ludox AM-30), fumed silica and water glass on the crystallinity o...

Optimization of Synthesis Procedure for NaX Zeolite by Taguchi Experimental Design and its Application in CO2 Adsorption

A series of experiments were designed to utilize the Taguchi method for investigating the effects of important parameters on the synthesis of NaX zeolite and to find the best conditions of synthesis. An L9 orthogonal design of Taguchi approach was applied to design experiments consisting of 9 trails. The effect of molar composition, including SiO2/Al2O3 and Na2O/Al2O3 ratios, and the crystalliz...

Nano Sized Ni/TiO2 @ NaX Zeolite with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity

Nickel doped TiO2nano particles (1% w/w) were prepared and immobilized on NaX zeolite and after characterization by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy used as photo catalyts for degradation of orange G. The X-ray diffraction patterns show that the supported TiO2 are crystallized in anatase form and the intensity of the zeolite peaks decreases with the incre...

Evidence for Subdomains in Large Crystals of NaX Zeolite

1. Introduction Pulsed Field Gradient (PFG) NMR has proved to be a valuable tool to probe the intracrystalline diffusion of molecules adsorbed in microporous materials [1]. It is well-known that the purely intracrystalline diffusivity D intra can only be attained, if the root mean square (rms) displacement of the molecules during the observation time is much smaller than the diameter of the cry...
