“…The favourable results obtained without the addition of a structural directing agent showed the suitability of kaolin as a zeolite precursor. In another study, the kaolin precursor was activated to produce metakaolin using 850 • C and achieved crystallization at 90 • C; then, a good grade of LTA type of zeolite was generated using the synthesized product and watermelon plant extract [113]. The Na-A type zeolite for bioethanol purification was successfully produced through hydrothermal reaction by using NaOH as the activator.…”

High energy demand from the market due to the rapid increment of the human population worldwide has urged society to explore alternatives to replace non-renewable energy. Renewable diesel produced from biomass could be the next potential energy source for its high stability, long-term storage, and comparable performance with diesel fuels. In producing renewable diesel, the application of catalyst is essential, and the catalyst support is synthesized with the catalyst to enhance the reaction rate and catalytic properties. In this review, the type of catalyst support will be reviewed along with a brief introduction to biodiesel and renewable diesel production, especially focusing on zeolites as the catalyst support. The enhancement of catalyst support will be critically discussed to improve the catalytic performance of support in renewable diesel production and important aspects such as the stability and recyclability of the supported catalyst are included. The application of the supported catalyst in increasing the selectivity and yield of renewable diesel is significant, in which the catalytic properties depend on the interaction between catalyst and catalyst support. The supported catalyst as a favorable substance to assist in enhancing renewable diesel yield could lead to a sustainable and greener future for the biofuel industry in Malaysia.

“…Zeolite LTA (Linde Type A), also known as zeolite A, which belongs to the family of aluminosilicate molecular sieves [9], [10], is used as the soil nutrient retention to avoid leaking of fertilizer. It is characterized by the formula |Na12(H2O)27| 8[Al12 Si12 O48] 8 which corresponds to its most common hydrated sodium form [11].…”

Since the 1960s, zeolites mesoporous structures have been employed in agriculture due to their efficiency as soil modifiers for plant growth that can retail minerals and important nutrients as well as cation exchange capacity (CEC). This characteristic iscritical in ensuring that plant growth is not hampered by the elimination of minerals and nutrients from the fertilizer; thus, zeolite materials are always referred to as slow-release or slow retention of fertilizer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of kaolin-synthesized zeolites as controlled release fertilizers to reduce soil nutrient leaching. The zeolite Linde-type A used in this study was produced by hydrothermal synthesis from metakaolin clay (thermal treatment). This study's metakaolin clay was made through thermal treatment (calcination) of kaolin clay heated at 650 °C for 24 hours. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to determine that the phase of the synthesized zeolite was of the LTA type. Anexperiment isconducted to examine the effects of zeolite on the trapping and sustaining of NPK fertilizer for plant growth. Compared to standard NPK fertilizers without zeolite, the fertilizer containing zeolite accelerated the growth of mung bean plants by 35.5% for stem height and 52.5% for leaf length. This study indicated that zeolite has a strong capability for retaining minerals and nutrients, guaranteeing that plant growth is not inhibited by nutrient deficiency.

“…

In general, zeolites are crystalline solid structures made of silicon, aluminium, and oxygen that have cavities and channels that can hold cations, water, or small molecules [1]. The geometry of zeolites is a highly ordered microporous structure containing an aluminosilicate structure and extensively used as adsorbents, catalysts, separations, and many other critical industry applications [2].

The study explores the hydrothermal synthesis of zeolite using kaolin clay from Perak in the presence of two different reduction mediums, namely turmeric extract and ginger extract, and a 2M NaOH solution, measuring their efficiency and potential for green synthesis. Before the zeolite synthesis and transformation, the kaolin clay was heated at a temperature of 650 oC for 4 hours in the furnace to produce the metakaolin phase. The synthesized zeolite involves the reaction of NaOH with potential reduction plant extracts to assist the transformation of zeolite. The characterization of the synthesized particles after being ground into a fine powder and subsequently undergoing testing and characterization via X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed the existence of zeolite phases in both plants with slightly different zeolite compositions. Synthesis mixtures with turmeric plants show better composition of the zeolite phase as compared to ginger mixtures. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX) also revealed that the synthesized product using turmeric plant extract was able to produce zeolite LTA with a good grade. The current experimental work shows the possibility of obtaining a well crystalline zeolite from Malaysian kaolin, assisted with plant extract reduction medium.
