Reflux-Assisted Synthesis of ZSM-5 Zeolite from Coal Fly Ash: A Sustainable Waste-to-Resource Approach
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
The coal fly ash (CFA) is produced on large scale in India by thermal power plant. CFA is the waste material having aluminosilicate as the major portion. Zeolite is the aluminosilicates microporous crystalline material. So CFA can be used as a source material for the synthesis of ZSM5 zeolite. In the present study ZSM5 zeolite is synthesized from CFA by reflux method. The synthesized zeolite is characterized by XRD, IR, SEM, EDAX and TG-DTA.
