Zeolitic Conversion of Cheju Scoria
E-mail:
Various zeolite-type materials have been synthesized using Cheju Scoria, which is widely distributed in Cheju Island, Korea. Cheju Scoria is composed mainly of plagioclase, pyroxene, hematite, and aluminosilicate glass. Since the plagioclase and glass components can be used as Si and Al sources, the zeolitic conversion of Scoria was examined using a conventional hydrothermal synthesis under alkaline conditions. Na-Pl zeolite, hydroxy sodalite, nepheline hydrate, analcime, and cancrinite were obtained by using different reaction temperatures and NaOH concentrations. Na-PI was observed at 120 ℃ in 2 M NaOH over a long reaction period, while hydroxy sodalite was formed over a wide range of reaction temperatures, 100 to 150 ℃, in > 3 M NaOH.
