Abstract
Hadong-Kaolin was treated with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The crystalline structure was studied by X-ray powder diffraction method. The optimum conditions for various crystal formation were as follows: Crystal Concentration Temp. reating time Halloysite 1~4 N NaOH $60^{\circ}C$ 0.5${\sim}$4 hr Sodium A zeolite 0.5${\sim}$2 N NaOH 80${\sim}$$100^{\circ}C$ 6${\sim}$20 hr Hydoxysodalite > 4 N NaOH 80${\sim}$$100^{\circ}C$ > 4 hr The ratio of $Na_2O to SiO_2$ for crystallizing sodium A zeolite was 0.5-1.5. The $Ca^{++}$ ion exchange capacity of produced sodium A zeolite for 0.2 N $CaCl_2$ solution at $25^{\circ}C$ was amounted to 65% of theoretical value.
하동 kaolin을 NaOH용액으로 처리하여 그의 결정성을 X-선 분말회절법으로 조사하였다. 각 결정 생성의 최적 처리 조건은 다음과 같다. <표> Sodium A zeolite 결정 생성을 위해 적당한 $Na_2O 대 SiO_2$의 비는 0.5${\sim}$1.5이다. 생성된 Sodium A zeolite 의$ 25^{\circ}C$, 0.2N $CaCl_2$ 용액에서의 $Ca^{++}ion$ 교환능은 이론값의 65%였다.
