abstract
Heating sodium ion exchanged zirconium phosphates, ZrNaxH2x(PO4)2, yields mixtures of phases which include NaZr2(PO4)3. When x is less than one, the second phase is ZrP2O7. At values of x 1 the products are Zr(NaPO4)2, NaZr2(PO4)3 and possibly NaPO3 + Na2O. At x = 1 the products are NaZr2(PO4)3 + NaPO3. Hydrothermal treatment of ZrNaxH2x(PO4)2 also yields triphosphates which contain some protons and zeolitic water. Zirconium phosphate treated hydrothermally in the presence of sodium silicates yields sodium zirconium silicophosphates. 1980, All rights reserved.
