Abstract

: Scarcity of fresh water has nowadays become a global problem and for this reason, a great deal of attention has been given to providing fresh water with new technologies and renewable energy. The purpose of this research is to synthesize Zeolite 13X or NaX powder using the hydrothermal method to identify the parameters affecting the synthesis process as well as the factors affecting the moisture adsorption of the material. Synthesis sample (S1) had the specific surface area of 25.53 m²/gr, total pore volume of 0.38 Cm³/gr, mean pore diameter of 60.1 nm, and water adsorption percentage of 22% of the total powder weight.
