ملخص المقالة :

In the present research synthesis of zeolites, merlinoite minerals of natural clinoptiloite mineral in the presence of alkaline mediums, was investigated. The analyzed variants are a result of a concentration of Na+ and K+ ions, temperature and time. Phase transition of clinoptiloite was conducted in the presence of an 8 molar potash solution (KOH) and a 4 molar soda solution (NaOH). Results indicated that merlinoite phase occurs at a temperature of 200 degrees centigrade and the presence of highly concentrated ions of Na+. With the passage of reaction time, the concentration of the synthesized merlinoite is increased accordingly. XRD studies suggest orthorhombic synchrony with the dimensions of c = 9.45 Aº, a = 14/12 Aº, d = 2/19 Aº, n = 1/494 Aº for merlinoite.
