Sodium aluminate → Sodium aluminosilicate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Examples 1 through 24 show how to control the amount of sodalite formed. In each example, a sodium aluminate solution and a sodium silicate solution are formed; the two solutions are added together to produce a certain mixture comprising a mother liquor and an amorphous sodium aluminosilicate; the reaction mixture is reacted to form a zeolite A and the reaction mixture is further reacted to convert some of the zeolite A to a sodalite type product.
