As indicated in the last quarterly report, the objective of our research in this quarter is studying the ion-exchange properties of the zeolites converted from fly ash. It is well known that zeolites Y and A have good ion-exchange capabilities with ions such as Cs and Co which are abundant in nuclear wastes, and NH{sub 4} ions which are abundant in waste water. Since zeolites are formed within the fly ash, and it is not a simple task to separate them from the fly ash, the ion-exchange study was done on the treated fly ash without separating the zeolites from the fly ash.
