Abstract
In this study, zeolite Y was synthesized from sodium silicate, aluminum hydroxide, sodium hydroxide and distilled water under hydrothermal method. The Box–Behnken design was used as a response surface method considering seven factors affecting the crystallization of zeolite to determine the number of experiments. The linear, square and interaction effects of the factors were investigated. The factors consist of four factors for the gel composition, including the molar value of Si, Al, Na and H2O and three factors for the synthesis conditions, including aging time, crystallization time and temperature. The XRD patterns of the synthesized samples were compared with the XRD pattern of standard zeolite Y. Among the samples, sample 50 with the highest intensity and maximum total area of 14 peaks, was selected as the reference sample and it was used to determine the relative crystallinity percentage of the remaining samples. Based on the results of the experiments, it was concluded that changes in the gel composition have a more significant effect on the response in comparison with changes in the synthesis conditions. In addition, optimization of the obtained model was carried out and a zeolite with higher relative crystallinity than the standard zeolite Y was synthesized. At the optimal point, zeolite Y was synthesized with a relative crystallinity of 117.5%. The composition of the gel was 0.59 SiO2: 0.0563 Al2O3: 0.4266 Na2O: 12.376 H2O. The total synthesis time was 30 h.
期刊介绍:
Physics and Chemistry of Minerals is an international journal devoted to publishing articles and short communications of physical or chemical studies on minerals or solids related to minerals. The aim of the journal is to support competent interdisciplinary work in mineralogy and physics or chemistry. Particular emphasis is placed on applications of modern techniques or new theories and models to interpret atomic structures and physical or chemical properties of minerals. Some subjects of interest are:
-Relationships between atomic structure and crystalline state (structures of various states, crystal energies, crystal growth, thermodynamic studies, phase transformations, solid solution, exsolution phenomena, etc.)
-General solid state spectroscopy (ultraviolet, visible, infrared, Raman, ESCA, luminescence, X-ray, electron paramagnetic resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance, gamma ray resonance, etc.)
-Experimental and theoretical analysis of chemical bonding in minerals (application of crystal field, molecular orbital, band theories, etc.)
-Physical properties (magnetic, mechanical, electric, optical, thermodynamic, etc.)
-Relations between thermal expansion, compressibility, elastic constants, and fundamental properties of atomic structure, particularly as applied to geophysical problems
-Electron microscopy in support of physical and chemical studies
-Computational methods in the study of the structure and properties of minerals
-Mineral surfaces (experimental methods, structure and properties)
