Industrial Solid Waste Based EU-12 Nanozeolite: Synthesis and Characterisation

The study focused on synthesis of ETL framework type novel EU-12 nanozeolite from coal fly ash (FA) for the first time by sonication assisted hydrothermal treatment (SAH). FA and the synthesized EU-12 nanozeolite were characterized by XRD, FESEM, EDS, XRF, TEM, RAMAN, DSC-TGA, BET surface area measurements, XPS and zeta potential analysis. SAH method produced EU-12 nanozeolite in lesser crystallization time compared to hydrothermal treatment...
