Abstract

We propose synthesizing zeolite materials in an isothermal hydrothermal reactive system (140 °C) with NaOH from kaolin as an aluminosilicate source. This notion is based on the assumption that silica's permineralization during the formation of silicate fossils stabilizes intermediate zeolite-type phases. Within a reaction time range of 7 to 9 hours, different phase mixtures of hydroxycancrinite, hydroxysodalite, NaP 1 zeolite, and analcime occur. The characterization study of these mixtures has been conducted through Powder X-ray Diffraction, and it serves as a valuable tool for identifying intricate mixtures of sodium zeolite structures by providing tables (hkl)/d_hkl for each phase. The phase transition from hydroxysodalite to hydroxycancrinite has been identified for the first time at an isothermal condition without a carbonate component, and the chiral spatial symmetry group P4₃32 (P4₁32) for hydroxysodalite is suggested as a novel result.
