Synthesis of nanozeolite A from natural zeolite as a potential carrier for drug delivery

Synthesized nanozeolite A was prepared from natural Iranian clinoptilolite (Clin) as Si source and sodium aluminate as Al source using hydrothermal method. The synthesized nanozeolite A was characterized by instrumental analysis methods such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared (IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In this study adsorption of diclofenac sodium (DS) as a model drug onto nanozeolite A was investigated and Ultra Violet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry was used for determination of concentrations of DS. The results demonstrate an interesting potential use of nanozeolite A as drug carrier.
