Abstract:
Zeolite A was synthesized by hydrothermal crystallization using the acid-treated stellerite as raw material. The synthesizing process was examined by XRD and SEM. In this reaction process, the SiO
2 and Al
2O
3 in solid phase were translated into the SiO
2 and Al
2O
3 in the liquid phase continuously, when the acid-treated stellerite and NaAlO
2 were dissolved. These phenomena indicate that the formation mechanism of zeolite A is the solution-mediated transport mechanism, because the formation of zeolite A is drived by the concentration supersaturation of the composition in liquid phase, and is transported by solution-media.
