Popis: Zeolite A was synthesized at 80°C from allophane in NaOH-KOH mixed solution. Single phase of zeolite A was obtained from mixed solutions with Na/Na+K molar ratios larger than 0.8. In the range between 0.6 and 0.8 for mole fraction of Na, chabazite type zeolite (K-G) and linde F(K-F) coexisted with zeolite A. Zeolite A did not form from mixed solutions with the mole fraction of Na less than 0.6. The rate of formation of zeolite A decreased with decreasing mole fraction of Na, which was explained by the decreases in nucleation rate and liner crystal growth rate. The crystal size of zeolite A increased with an increase in the K content in the mixed solutions.
