Nanozeolite powder of Iranian natural clinoptilolite was mechanically produced using a planetary ball mill. Experimental design was applied to optimize wet and dry milling of clinoptilolite zeolite. To achieve appropriate milling conditions with respect to the final product crystallinity, particle size and size distribution; different milling parameters such as dry and wet milling duration (time) and rotational speed, balls to powder ratio and water to powder ratio ( for the wet milling), were investigated. Laser beam scattering technique, scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction analyses were carried out to characterize the samples. Results show that the particle size of clinoptilolite powder ( 1mm) can be mechanically reduced to the range of less than 100 nm to 30ìm by mean of planetary ball milling.
