Abstract: | Zeolite L powder was prepared from the substrate mixture of Na2O-K2O-Al2O3-SiO2-H2O system at temperatures of 373-443 K. In order to investigate the factors which influence the synthesis outcome, a reference system which yields zeolite L in a reproducible manner was chosen and subjected to controlled changes in synthesis parameters. The crystalline zeolite L samples obtained were characterized by elemental chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was established that phase purity, morphology, and the size of crystals of crystalline product were affected by molar ratios of the substrate, such as SiO2/Al2O3, (K2O+Na2O)/SiO2, Na2O/(K2O+Na2O), and H2O/(K2O+Na2O). Amorphous silica powder (Zeosil) was the preferred silica source, and the crystallization rate was promoted by introducing gel aging, seeding, and rapid heating rate. |
