Abstract
The 16 natural zeolites collected from Mongolia (6 types), the United States (1 type), and Korea (9 types) were characterized by XRD, XRF, TGA, DTA, and CEC analysis. All 16 samples are composite minerals. Two or more mineral phases co-exist and consist primarily of minerals such as clinoptilolite, heulandite, mordenite, and chabazite. In certain samples, minerals like illite and quartz were present as impurities. The XRF analysis showed that the 16 natural zeolites contain SiO2, Al2O3, K2O, CaO, Na2O, MgO, and Fe2O3 oxides. The cation exchange capacity of the U-1 sample was 223.3 meg/100 g, which is higher than the rest of the samples. M-6 sample in Mongolian natural zeolite and K-1 sample in Korean natural zeolite showed the highest cation exchange capacity at 166.6 meg/100 g. As a result of thermal differential and thermos gravimetric analysis, all 16 samples showed excellent thermal stability up to 600℃.
