RIOS-REYES, Carlos Alberto; DENVER-WILLIAMS, Craig  and  CASTELLANOS, Óscar Mauricio. Reactivity Study of Kaolinite and Metakaolinite in Fluoride Media under Hydrothermal Conditions. Ing. Univ. [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.1, pp.183-203. ISSN 0123-2126.

This paper studies the reactivity of kaolinite and metakaolin in a fluori-nated medium under hydrothermal conditions. This path of conventional zeolite synthesis did not yield promising results, although traces of different zeotypes did crystallize, such as the crystal structures Linde type Y (LTY), zeolite Na-P1 (GIS), chabazite-ca (CHA), sodalite (SOD), cancrinite (CAN) and Linde type A (LTA). Other zeolites reported in this study were zeolite ZSM-5 (MFI type structure) and zeolite ITQ (ISV type structure). The non-reacting starting material and the synthesized products where characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy by Fourier transform and thermogravimetric analysis. The products of the synthesis are of interest because they can be used in different industrial applications.

Keywords : Hydrothermal conversion; kaolinite; metakaolin; fluorinated media; zeolitic products; Conversión hidrotérmica; caolinita; metacaolinita; medios fluorurados; productos zeolíticos; metacaulinita.
