Synthesis and Characterization of Nano Particle Crystals of NaX Zeolite

In this work, the nano particles of Na-X zeolite were synthesized via hydrothermal method by controlling heat and mixing rate in crystallization during. The particle sizes of NaX zeolite crystals were controlled from 40 nm to 150 nm. Also, the physical properties of NaX-nano were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF). Results show that the nano X zeolite with average crystal size is 105 nm, Si/Al ratio 1.25 and with Na+1 active site.
