Abstract
Natural zeolite in FeCl3.6H2O solution which was exposed with high intensity ultrasonic for 40 min, 80 min and 120 min has been studied. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern revealed changed pattern and new peaks due to sonication process. Sonication contributed into element composition changes and it had been found also during quantitative chemical microanalysis analysis (EDX) and indicates an increment of 320.81 % (ZAM2) Fe element. Noninvasive back scatter (NIBS) analysis of various ultrasonic times affected to the particle size distribution, surface area and pore analysis. By using density functional theory (DFT), we revealed some improvements such as 44.03% surface area and 67.25% pore radius. We believe that controllable ultrasonic processing in the ferric chloride hexahydrate solution will produce uniform natural zeolite physical and chemical properties as a candidate of adsorbent materials.
