No structural changes have been noticed for the (NH4, Na)-exchanged synthetic mordenite treated under the same conditions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and particle size analysis were used to characterize the initial materials and the obtained products %K ion exchanged zeolites %K thermal transformations %K pseudomorphic transformation %K mullite %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=191045
