Crystal size and morphology of zeolite NaA have
an important role in its specific use in the industries. Thus,
investigation of parameters which influence crystal size and
morphology of this compound during the synthesis is very
important. Parameters such as intensi ty of mixing,
temperature and aging time of the gel preparation,
crystallization temperature and composition ratios are

on zeolite NaA crystal size and morphology are investigated.
Characterization techniques such as X-ray Diffraction
(XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) have
been used for phase identification, particle size and
morphology of crystals throughout this work.
