Experimental and numerical investigation of the effect of ultrasound on the growth kinetics of zeolite A.

Ultrasound is a promising technology for the improvement of zeolite production, due to its beneficial effects on mass transfer and nucleation. However, a broad understanding of the sonication parameters that influence the growth of zeolites most is still lacking. In the present work, zeolite A was synthesized and the kinetic model of Gualtieri was used to obtain information about the crystallization parameters.

Effects of ultrasonic irradiation on crystallization kinetics, morphological and structural properties of zeolite FAU.

In this work, NaX zeolite was synthesized and the effect of ultrasound irradiation on reaction kinetics, morphological and structural properties was investigated. Ultrasound was applied, by using a plate transducer (91.8 kHz), for the first time during the crystallization of zeolite NaX, at high temperature, varying the irradiation moment and its duration.
