Abstract
In this work the studies on the formation of zeolites from expanded perlite waste and their use in the sorption process of Cd2+ ions will be reported Such approach is innovative and has not been investigated elsewhere The results of the synthesis of zeolites from aluminosilicate waste using hydrothermal method were presented Byproduct from the process production of expanded perlite was used as the starting material Theoretical and practical aspects of Cd2+ ions sorption process onto material synthesized in selected conditions a material with good sorption capacity can be obtained by 24 h reaction of 1 g of perlite waste in 10 mL of 40 M NaOH solution with at 70 °C will be presented The atomic absorption spectroscopy has been used as the main method from which the effective cation exchange capacity as well as the proportion of ion exchange to chemisorption in the sorption process have been determined Structural analyses of the sample before and after sorption process have been also carried out by the midinfrared spectra measurement especially pseudolattice range of the spectra was analyzed in detail in which changes caused by ion exchange of nontetrahedral ions have been observed
