 Recently, there has been a considerable growing interest in utilizing nanozeolites due to their advantages over conventional micron sized materials. Zeolite particle may be reduced by mechanical treatment such as ball milling or grinding in order to get smaller particles. In this paper, effect of milling time on particle size and surface morphology of Zeolite were investigated by a few designed of experiments in aqueous environment. Zeta-sizer Nano series of particle sizer and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) have been used to characterize this nanozeolite. Results shown that, there were changes of particle size and also the surface morphology of Zeolite. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
