Mintova et al. studied deposition of zeolite A on various cellulose fibers pretreated chemically and/or mechanically [151]. It was shown that the amount of zeolite deposited was controllable by suitable fiber pretreatment with ball-milling or with diethyl ether under ultrasonic action. The reactive high-concentration hydroxyl groups on the structurally loosened celluloses seem to interact with aluminosilicate species and thus promote the formation of nuclei for zeolite crystallization. Pretreatment of natural cellulose fibers with alkali provides another simple route for anchoring preformed zeolite crystallites onto the cellulose surface.
