Abstract

In this paper, the molecular sieves with high added value were creatively prepared from roasting clinker obtained by the process that NaOH-Na2CO3 mixed alkali as auxiliary agent calcined potash feldspar, which could extract the silicon it contains. Firstly, the optimum roasting conditions for SiO2 extraction rate were determined through single factor experiment, that is, roasting temperature 400℃, roasting time 2 h, n(NaOH-Na2CO3): n(potash feldspar) = 5: 1. The orthogonal experiment was used to optimize the extraction process of silica, confirming the primary and secondary relationship of these three influencing factors. Plus, the kinetic analysis shows that the mixed roasting system of NaOH-Na2CO3 and potash feldspar is controlled by both external diffusion and chemical reaction. According to the Arrhenius equation, the apparent activation energy (Ea) was calculated as 16.50329 kJ/mol, and the kinetic equation was [1 − (1 − α)1/3] = 6.1824exp[− 16,503.29/(RT)]t. At last, the roasting clinker obtained at the optimal level was processed by adjusting the ratio of silicon to aluminum, preparing the X-type molecular sieve with good pore structure by hydrothermal method, and its pore volume, specific surface area and hygroscopicity respectively are 0.023104 cc/g, 4.343m2/g and 23.733%.
