Blast furnace slag, an industrial by-product, is emerging as a potential raw material to synthesize hydroxyapatite and zeolite. In this study, the effects of temperature on the hydrothermal synthesis of hydroxyapatite-zeolite from blast furnace slag were investigated. Specimens were synthesized at different temperatures (room temperature, 50, 90, 120, or 150 °C). The synthesized specimens were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively via X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), BET/BJH, and scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive using X-ray analysis (SEM/EDX). It was found that the hydroxyapatite phase was synthesized at all the reaction temperatures, while faujasite type zeolite appeared in the specimens synthesized at 90 and 120 °C. Moreover, faujasite was replaced by hydroxysodalite in the specimens synthesized at 150 °C. Additionally, the crystals of the hydroxyapatite tended to become larger and total crystallinity increased as the reaction temperature increased.

MFI-type zeolite is a crystalline microporous aluminosilicate with an intersecting two-dimensional pore structure and well-defined windows of approximately 0.55 nm. It generally crystallizes in high silica to alumina ratios, leading to a rather hydrophobic character. This makes it an attractive adsorbent for removing organic pollutants from wastewater. However, separating the conventional powdery-zeolites from the media after treatment is difficult because they require considerable time to settle. They also trigger filter clogging. In this work, high silica MFI-type zeolite, namely, silicalite-1, was synthesized on the surfaces of hollow glass microspheres to develop a floating adsorbent with high hydrophobicity. Tetraethylorthosilicate and tetrapropylammonium hydroxide were used as the additional silica source and structure directing agent, respectively. The crystallization of silicalite-1 on hollow glass microspheres was performed using hydrothermal synthesis at 180 °C or 150 °C for 40 h using a precursor sol with a molar composition of 3SiO2:1TPA:14EtOH:286H2O. The surface coverage and crystallinity of the as-prepared samples were optimized, and the floatability and adsorption performance of the optimized sample were investigated. Well-covered microspheres were obtained when hydrothermal synthesis was conducted at 180 °C using 0.5 g of hollow glass microspheres and 15 g of a precursor sol adjusted to pH 12.5. The balance between the dissolution rate of the hollow glass microspheres and the crystallization rate of silicalite-1 appeared to be the key factor in the successful synthesis.
