Synthesis of nanosized A-type zeolites from sodium silicates and sodium aluminates in the presence of a crystallization inhibitor
Nanosized A-type zeolites (primary particle size: 3040 nm), which exhibit higher cationic exchange rate than commercially available A-type zeolites (primary particle size: 2 mum), have been synthesized from sodium silicates and sodium aluminates by using a crystallization inhibitor such as a nonionic surfactant and polyethylene glycol.
