The process of fly ash magnetic separation impact on hydrothermal synthesis of zeolites

Abstract

The aim of the experiment was modifying raw fly ash through the demagnetisation process and determining its influence on the efficiency of the synthesis of zeolite materials out of fly ash. A series of experiments have been performed on modified samples and, for the purpose of verification, on non-modified fly ash. No direct correlation has been confirmed in relation to synthesis efficiency as well as the type of obtained zeolite material. The research results indicate that the composition of fly ash determines the type of the zeolitic phases obtained. Based on the analysis of experimental data, it was found that the demagnetisation process allows to obtain additional zeolite phases, while there is no direct impact of the process used on the increase of synthesis reaction efficiency.
