Abstract
This work reports the analysis of Zn ion exchange in thermally modified zeolite A4 (ZA4) for the potential formation of ZnO nanoparticles. The methodology consists of two steps. Step 1 consisted of carrying out different thermal treatments on ZA4. Step 2 involved the ion exchange of Zn with different concentrations of the Zn ion precursor. XRD and FTIR analyses revealed a transformation in the crystal and molecular structure of ZA4 after heat treatment. This work has been limited to studying ion exchange; however, it is very interesting to study the thermal behavior of ZA4 because this could improve the surface area of the material. The results obtained in this work demonstrate that heat treatment and Zn ion concentration affect the crystallinity and molecular structure of ZA4.
