Monitoring zeolite NaY formation from potassium-rich Nigerian kaolinite clay

This work focuses on the successful synthesis of NaY zeolite from highly contaminated kaolinite clay, while investigating the effect of metakaolinization temperature and aging on role of potassium in zeolitization. The presence of potassium was observed to be responsible for formation of microcline,...
