To evaluate the feasibility of synthesizing zeolites from crude kaolin clay precursors using low-temperature hydrothermal processing.
Sampled crude kaolin clays from two different geographic and geological formations.
Subjected clay precursors to hydrothermal treatments in an oven at 90°C.
Analyzed structural breakdown and synthesized mineral phases using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.
Disruption of the native clay structure and subsequent amorphization improved raw material reactivity during hydrothermal treatment.
Precursor crystallinity and mineral composition alongside incubation duration determined the synthesis pathway and final zeolite product characteristics.

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Experimental study demonstrates zeolite formation from crude kaolin clays at low temperatures, indicating that precursor composition and amorphization govern synthesis efficiency.
