“…Zeolites from synthetic sodic rich glasses with variable SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 or Na 2 O/Al 2 O 3 and natural analog glasses have been studied in excess NaOH and found to form Zeoite A, Na-P zeolite, analcime, basic sodalite and/or faujasite. 32,54 For Na 2 OÁAl 2 O 3 ÁnSiO 2 hydrogels where (2<n<10) in the presence of NaOH, KOH, or LiOH, the type of zeolite that forms is dependent on the temperature (60-390°C), the amount of excess NaOH, KOH, or LiOH, the counter ion present (Na, K, Li, Ca, etc. ), and the reaction time.…”
