The invention discloses a method for preparing 4A
zeolite from
gangue serving as a
raw material through two-step
hydrothermal synthesis. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, crushing andgrinding
gangue, performing thermal activation pretreatment, mixing the
gangue subjected to thermal activation and
sodium carbonate uniformly, and melting at high temperature to obtain a molten mixture; secondly, mixing the molten mixture and water under the water solution condition to dissolve out
sodium silicate, filtering to obtain filter residues and
drying the filter residues; thirdly, completely stirring the dried filter residues and a
sodium hydroxide solution under the alkali
dissolution condition, filtering to obtain a
silicon aluminum solution, and
ageing the
silicon aluminum solution to obtain a precursor; finally, performing hydrothermal
crystallization treatment on the precursor, and filtering, water-washing and
drying to obtain the 4A
zeolite. According to the synthesis method, the gangue serves as the
raw material, the gangue is subjected to high-end resource-based development and utilization, and the gangue does not need to be subjected to acid leaching pretreatment, so that secondary
pollution on the environment is reduced; and an aluminum source does not need to be added in the synthesis process, so the method is simple, high in
operability and low in cost.
