Abstract

Kinetics of the non-isothermal transformation of zeolite 4A to low-carnegieite was investigated by the X-ray diffraction method. Changes in the fractions of zeolite 4A, amorphous aluminosilicate and low-carnegieite during zeolite 4A heating at three different heating rates (0.0833 degrees S-1, 0.1667 degrees s(-1) and 0.333 degrees s(-1)) showed that amorphization of zeolite 4A and crystallization of low-carnegieite take place simultaneously. Kinetic analyses of amorphization and crystallization showed that the non-isothermal transformation took place by the same mechanism as the isothermal transformation, i.e., amorphization of zeolite 4A proceeded by a random, diffusion-limited agglomeration of the short-range ordered aluminosilicate subunits formed by the thermally induced breaking of Si-O-Si and Si-O-Al bonds between different building units of zeolite framework. Crystallization of low-carnegieite occurred by homogeneous nucleation of low-carnegieite inside the matrix of amorphous aluminosilicate and was diffusion-control led, with one-dimensional growth of the nuclei. Kinetics of non-isothermal processes was determined by the changes of the rate constants during heating and the apparent activation energies of amorphization and crystallization.
