Abstract

The objective in this study was to use sandblasting waste (SW) and liquid crystal display waste glass (LWG) in the synthesis of eco-humidity control zeolite (E-HCZ) for use in the construction industry. Synthesis involved alkali fusion and hydrothermal processing, wherein the processing parameters ((SiO2)/(Al2O3) molar ratio, reaction temperature, reaction duration) were optimized using the reaction surface method in conjunction with Box–Behnken experiment design. An F value of 108.46 indicated the efficacy of the model. The important model terms included linear factors (A. (SiO2)/(Al2O3) molar ratio, B. reaction temperature, and C. reaction duration), square factors (A2, B2, and C2), and sympathetic factor AB. The model achieved a verification coefficient R2 of 0.9949, and the data obtained in experiments was consistent with the regression results. The adequacy of the regression model was confirmed by strong agreement between the predicted R2 (0.9149) and the adjusted R2 (0.9857), while the sufficiency of the signal was confirmed by a high signal-to-noise ratio (36.889). The results also indicate strong correspondence between actual vs. predicted probability plots. The high moisture adsorption capacity of the proposed zeolite (58.58 g/m2) demonstrates that LWG and SW can indeed be used to synthesize low-cost humidity control materials.
