Abstract

The conventional method of zeolite synthesis involves an expensive hydrothermal step whereby a mixture of a metakaolinite, sodium hydroxide, and water is preactivated by thermal treatment between 400°C and 1000°C. The objective of the current study was to determine whether Jordanian kaolinite could be converted to zeolite materials without thermal pre-activation. The alkaline hydrothermal transformation of kaolinite into hydroxysodalite (HS) was achieved, then followed by a reaction with citric acid and solid sodium hydroxide to obtain Zeolite A, or by adding solid Na2SiO3 to prepare zeolite X. These materials were tested for their ability to serve as removal agents for Basic Blue 41 (BB-41) dye from artificially contaminated water, at concentrations ranging from 25 to 1000 mg/L. The maximum removal capacities were estimated using the Langmuir model, with a value of 39 mg/g for hydroxysodalite. Zeolite-X achieved the lowest value (19 mg/g). The feasibility of BB-41 removal was deduced from the Freundlich model for the zeolites studied. The reported low-cost method is proposed as an alternative way to reduce the cost of synthesizing zeolite, and the materials were shown to be potential candidates for the removal of BB-41 dye.
