FAU zeolite is successfully synthesized from coal fly ash (CFA) as the sole silicon and aluminum sources under solvent-free conditions. CO 2 adsorption and ion-exchange tests show that the product possesses excellent CO 2 adsorption capacity and even better Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ ion exchange capacity, which is particularly important for its wide application in industrial processes.
