Abstract: 

In this paper, kaolinite was used to synthesize zeolite by using a hydrothermal method. Before synthesis, kaolinite was pre-treated by alkali-fusion. The as-prepared zeolite was used to remove MB in wastewater. The effect of synthesis condition (including NaOH/Kaolinite mass ratio, activation temperature, and hydrothermal temperature) on the adsorption capacity and MB removal efficiency. The microstructure of zeolite was characterized by X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and N2 adsorption-desorption tests. Various adsorption kinetic models were used to elucidate the adsorption process and acquire the adsorption rate constant. The results show that zeolite was sphere-like and had a mesopore structure. The adsorption capacity was about 34.06 mg/g. This as-synthesized zeolite was an excellent purification material for removing dye wastewater.
