Preparation of type 4A zeolite from Iraqi Kaolin : characterization and properties measurements

الملخص EN

Molecular sieves or zeolites are an important widespread industrial material of unique chemical structure, which are used in most industrial plants as an adsorbent for gases or even as catalysts.

Zeolite 4A was prepared from Iraqi kaolin using ion exchange technique to insert sodium ion in kaolin structure.

It was characterized by X-ray diffraction and tested for water adsorption capacity to test the reliability of this kaolin as a raw material for zeolite production, and this seems to be the case.
