Abstract

Thermal stability of clinoptilolite rich mineral from Western Anatolia, Turkey and its Ag-exchange forms was investigated. Parent mineral of different sizes were heated up to 1000°C with heating rate of 2 and 10°C min-1 using differential thermal analyzer (DTA) and thermogravimetric analyzer (TG). Ag exchange was conducted both in conventional constant temperature waterbath and microwave at 40, 60 and 80°C. The exchanged minerals were then characteized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), DTA and TG.
