Synthesis of zeolite NA‐A using single mode microwave irradiation at atmospheric pressure: The effect of microwave power

This paper investigates the effects of single mode microwave irradiation on the synthesis of zeolite Na‐A from sodium aluminate and sodium silicate gel at atmospheric pressure. Microwave irradiation has been shown to accelerate the zeolitization process from several hours to several minutes. The microwave irradiation employed was produced in a single mode lab scale microwave, which enabled control of irradiated power and temperature of the...
