Conversion of Harmful Fly Ash Residue to Zeolites: Innovative Processes ...
Reuse of the solid residue from coal fly ash alumina extraction (FAAE) by acid leaching is problematic. Conversion of this solid residue into aluminumrich zeolite (13X) and siliconrich zeolite (ZSM5) was investigated in this research. The FAAE residue was activated by alkali roasting with Na2CO3 powder (110% mass fraction) at 890 °C for 60 min. Silicon and aluminum were mainly present as ...
