ABSTRACT
The aim of this research was
to synthesize zeolite from coal fly ash by hydrothermal method.
The effect of aging temperature and time on zeolite P1 synthesis
(Na-P1) from Mae Moh coal fly ash (MFA) without adding any alumina
and silica sources were examined during the synthesized process.
The central composite design (CCD) was used for experimental design
to obtain the optimal process parameters of the aging temperature
(105-195ºC) and time (12-84 h) where the specific surface area
was used as a response. The chemical and physical properties of
Na-P1 such as specific surface area, crystalline phase, compositions
and morphology were examined. The response results showed that
the specific surface area of Na-P1 decreased with an increase
of both aging temperature and time, whereas the XRD intensity
of Na-P1 increased with an increase of both aging temperature
and time. The composition of SiO2/Al2O3 in
mass ratio of coal fly ash was observed, which was suitable to
Na-P1 synthesis. The maximum specific surface area of zeolite
products was found at the designed condition of aging temperature
of 105ºC and time of 12 h. Thus, zeolite P1 can be prepared by
hydrothermal method without adding any alumina and silica sources.

menunjukkan bahawa kawasan permukaan tertentu Na-P1 menurun dengan peningkatan suhu penuaan dan
masa, manakala keamatan
XRD
Na-P1 terus meningkat
dengan peningkatan suhu penuaan dan
masa. Komposisi oleh SiO2/Al2O3 dalam nisbah jisim

sesuai untuk
sintesis Na-P1. Kawasan maksimum permukaan tertentu produk zeolit telah ditemui
pada satu
keadaan penuaan suhu 105ºC dan masa 12 h. Oleh itu, zeolit
