Abstract
Abstract
Zeolites were synthetised from two types of metakaolin mixed with water glass and in some samples with water. The mixtures were autoclaved for 24 hours at 130°C. Autoclaved samples were ground to analytical fineness and tested by X-ray diffraction and differential thermal analysis. Polished samples embedded in epoxy resin were studied using of electron microprobe including BSE imaging and WDX analysis of chemical composition of zeolites. Samples with the highest zeolite content were studied by SEM. The obtained results showed that the dominant synthetised zeolite in autoclaved samples is mineral chemically close to chabazite, less phillipsite. Zeolite Na-P1, gmelinite and boggsite were also identified by XRD analyses. The total content of zeolites is up to 29 wt. % in the sample prepared from a mixture containing metakaolin MK1/sodium water glass/water in weight ratio 1.5/2.5/1. The Si/Al of synthetised zeolites varies between 2.1 and 3.2.
