Abstract :
In this investigation we synthesized NaX-Nanozeolite by hydrothermal crystallization conditions.These nanoparticles were prepared at different conditions in a temperature controlled shaker. Thesynthesized zeolites were characterized by instrumental analysis methods, such as X-raydiffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) andtransmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The observed results showed particle sizebetween 20 to100 nm. Then we examined the influence of different parameters on particle sizesuch as reaction time, temperature and agitation. Crystallization with shaking at 60°C for 2 dayswas the best conditions for synthesis of NaX-Nanozeolite.
