MODIFIED CLINOPTILOLITE AS PRECURSOR FOR FORMATION OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES-ZEOLITE NANOCOMPOSITES
Abstract
Purified natural clinoptilolite as well as clinoptilolite converted into hydrogen and sodium form have been contacted with 0.1 mol/L silver nitrate solution at a ratio solid to liquid equal to 1 to 20, in order to load silver ions (Ag+) on the zeolite support. It has been found that sodium modified clinoptilolite exchanged in highest degree Ag+ ions, followed by natural zeolite. Preliminary transformation of natural clinoptilolite into hydrogen form leads to decreasing of zeolite ability to bind Ag+ ions. The kinetics and thermodynamics of Ag+ ions uptake by zeolite have been studied. It has been found that the uptake process is best described by the pseudo-second order kinetic equation for the three studied materials. Fitting the experimental data to the isotherms' equations has shown that the Langmuir isotherm best described the loading of Ag+ ions on the three investigated zeolites. Nanocomposites ''silver nanoparticles-zeolite'' have been successfully formed by heating the Ag+-loaded zeolites at temperature 400 oC for 2 hours in air. The obtained materials have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, BET, SEM and EDS analyses. The current study has revealed that the chemical composition and morphology of synthesized nanocomposites are influenced by the modified form of clinoptilolite.
