The zeolite NaA was synthesized from natural clinoptilolite as Si source and aluminum sulfate or sodium aluminate as Al source. The use of aluminum sulfate for the synthesis of zeolite A has not been reported in the literature. This study presents as the first time a synthesis approach in which the low cost and available source is used to prepare zeolite NaA. These nano particles of zeolite were prepared at different conditions in autoclave and a mixer was designed specifically for this purpose. The synthesized zeolites were characterized by instrumental analysis methods, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and wet chemical analysis by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Cation exchange capacity (CEC) and loss on ignition (LOI) have been also measured on the prepared samples. The influences of different parameters such as reaction time, temperature, initial gel concentration, mechanical stirring and drying conditions on the improvement of the final products were experienced and the procedure for the efficient synthesis of zeolite NaA was optimized with available quality control tests. Solubility of clinoptilolite as the Si source in alkaline solutions was also investigated.
