Abstract
This research was focused on differentpreparation methods of copper loading on zeolite. Cu cationsupported on Na-Y zeolite (Cu-Y) was prepared by aqueoussolution ion exchange and incipient wetness impregnationmethods. Different amounts of copper (II) were loaded in theNa-Y zeolite. The catalysis materials were characterized byX-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence andBrunauer-Emmett-Teller. The results show that Cu loading didnot change the structure of Na-Y zeolite. The obtained Cu/Y hasenlarged pore size and octahedral shaped crystal withapproximately 0.19 ± 0.08 μm diameter. 5.5 wt. % Cu/Y withimpregnation method clearly exhibits a higher BET surface areaand a total pore volume than 5.5 wt. % solution ion exchanged.
