Abstract
The synthesis of zeolites from fly ash was performed through a low-temperature hydrothermal process with seawater. Compared with the results obtained using the same hydrothermal method but in the absence of sonication, the application of an ultrasonic pre-treatment to the conventional hydrothermal process with seawater reduces the crystallization temperature below that observed when hydrothermal synthesis is performed using distilled water.
► Hydrothermal process in seawater preceded or not by sonication were compared. ► Ultrasonic treatment reduced the crystallization temperature. ► The results confirm the previous findings obtained using distilled water. ► The crystallization efficiency is surprisingly lower when applied with seawater.
