Abstract

This study explores the synthesis of Zeolite-A from locally abundant Fuller’s Earth in Karnataka, India, presenting an innovative approach to harnessing regional resources for zeolite production. The synthesis process involved alkaline treatment and subsequent hydrothermal transformation. Characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, were employed to analyze the structural and morphological properties of the synthesized Zeolite-A. The results demonstrate the successful conversion of Fuller’s Earth into Zeolite-A, highlighting the potential for sustainable and cost-effective zeolite production using indigenous materials.
