Abstract

The silver forms of a natural zeolitic material (from the East Slovakian deposit) on the clinoptilolite type has been prepared. The silver forms of the natural zeolitic material were investigated by X-ray powder diffractometry, IR spectroscopy, ESCA measurements, scanning electron microscopy and conductivity measurements. Depending on the preparation conditions, the content of silver ions in the zeolitic products was found to be in the range from 16 to 24%. In the sample with a silver loading of 18.6%, the silver uptake is due to an ion exchange process, mostly involving Na(I), Ca(II) and Mg(II) ions.
