Abstract

Thomsonite with ideal chemical composition and with an ordered framework structure was synthesised hydrothermally from zeolite Na−A, which was ground to X-ray amorphous, with 0.05 mol dm−3 CaCl2 solution at 200°C. The dehydration behaviour of the prepared thomsonite was examined by TG-DTA. It was revealed that thomsonite lost most of zeolitic water below 450°C in three steps at about 180°, 340° and 390°C. The peak profiles of, the two higher-temperature endotherms were sharp and similar, and the weight loss at each step was approximately equal.

Zusammenfassung

Aus Zeolith Na−A, welches mittels einer 0,05 molaren CaCl2-Lösung bei 200°C röntgenographisch amorph gemahlen wurde, stellte man auf hydrothermischem Wege Thomsonit mit idealer chemischer Zusammensetzung und mit einer geordneten Gitterstruktur her. Das Dehydratationsverhalten des hergestellten Thomsonits wurde mittels TG/DTA untersucht. Es wurde gezeigt, daß Thomsonit unter 450°C, in drei Schritten: bei 180°, 340° und bei 390°C einen Großteil Zeolith-Wasser verliert. Die Peakverläufe der zwei Endothermen bei höheren Temperaturen sind scharf und ähneln sich und der Gewichtsverlust ist bei jedem Schritt etwa gleich.
