Synthesis of Na-Y Zeolite by Hydrothermal Method and Characterization

In this work, the Na-Y zeolite of Fujasite type was synthesized by hydrothermal method, and characterized with XRD, FT-IR, XRF, SEM, and BET adsorption. Results showed that Y zeolite was synthesized with Si/Al rather 2.43, crystal size is 0.8 μm, and with Na active site. Also, the surface property was obtained by BET Nitrogen adsorption–desorption, It has a specific surface area of about 476 m2/g and pore size is 7.3 angstrom.
