【Abstract】 Zeolite 4A is the main substitute builders for sodium tripolyphosphate in non-phosphated detergent. It can be manufactured from savageness clay and the cost may greatly be reduced by this method. In the manufacturing process of detergent-used zeolite 4A from montmorillonite, it is important to remove quartz from clay or zeolite, otherwise the product will not qualified for detergent additive. This article provides two methods, the calibration curve method of quartz content by XRD and the calibration curve method of aluminium ion concentration in synthetic system, to determine the quartz content. Then three methods of removing quartz were studied on, including the methods of whirlwind during the mill run, filtration after alkalinization of silicic acid gel and sedimentation of zeolite.更多还原
