Abstract
Recently, there has been a considerable growing interest in utilizing nanozeolites due to their advantages over conventional micron-sized materials. Zeolite particle may be reduced by mechanical treatment such as ball milling or grinding in order to get smaller particles. In this chapter, the effect of milling time on particle size and surface morphology of Zeolite were investigated by a few designed experiments in aqueous environment. Zeta-sizer Nano series of particle sizer, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) have been used to characterize this nanozeolite. Results shown that, there were changes of particle size and also the surface morphology of Zeolite, while the FTIR spectra showed not much difference; thus, it is confirmed that the milling process does not alter the chemical bonding of this nanozeolite.
