Production of Zeolite from Rice Husk Ash

Abstract:

The use of waste to development of products has been an increasingly routine practice today. In this work was used rice husk ash from combustion boiler for energy for synthesis of sodium silicate. The silicate was obtained by means of ash fusion with sodium hydroxide at a temperature of 1200°C for 2 hours. For the synthesis of 4A-zeolite was performed hydrothermal reaction of sodium silicate, previously obtained with sodium aluminate and sodium hydroxide. The zeolite obtained was characterized by X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results have indicated the formation of 4A-zeolite.
