Paper sludge ash (PSA) typically has a low Si abundance and significant Ca content due to the presence of calcite fillers. Acid leaching with HCl was used to reduce the Ca content so that a zeolitic product with a high cation exchange capacity (CEC) could be synthesized. Zeolitic products were synthesized from raw ash and leached ash through reaction with 2.5 M NaOH solution at 80 degrees C. In the case of the original ash without acid leaching, the concentration of Al in the alkali solution always exceeded that of Si during the synthesis, and hydroxysodalite with a low Si/Al ratio (1: 1) was formed. In the case of the leached ash, the concentration of Si always exceeded that of Al during the synthesis, and zeolite-P with a higher Si/Al ratio (5: 3) was formed. Hydroxysodalite and zeolite-P crystallization was saturated after 6 h of reaction, and the product from leached ash had a higher CEC (approximately 150 cmol/kg) than that from original ash (approximately 40 cmol/kg). Both the decrease in the Ca phase in the leached ash and the corresponding increase in the Si and Al amorphous phases play an important role in zeolite synthesis.
