Abstract
The synthesis of phillipsite from fly ash, which can be used as adsorbents, catalysts etc., was proposed as a new way to reuse fly ash. The effects of morphology of fly ash and the synthesis conditions on the generated zeolite are studied. We proposed a method for selective synthesis of phillipsite improving the purity and yield by introducing microwave heating. The microwave heating enhanced the growth rate of zeolite and improved the crystalline state. The synsethis process which is affected by the microwave irradiation is also clarified.
