The pretreatment steps of coal fly ash are calcination of fly ash samples at 850°C for one hour prior to washing of the samples by using HCl 3M at 90°C for one hour. The main experiment consist of two substeps, which are fusion reaction between NaOH and pretreated fly ash at 550°C for two hours prior to hydrothermal step at 90°C for two hours. This experiment used fly ash/NaOH ratio of 1,0 and 1,4; ratio of addition of NaAlO2 of 0,75 an 1,25 to manipulate Si/Al ratio; and aging time of 8 and 24 hours. Zeolite A product was then characterized by XRD, XRF, SEM, BET, and AAS to determine the quality of the products. <br /> <br /> This experiment shows that the pretreatment of coal fly ash by calcination yield to the decreasement of magnetite (Fe3O4) which was converted to hematite (Fe2O3). XRF results also showed that HCl washing reduces the impurity from coal fly ash such as hematite (from 40,2% to 17,3%) and CaO (from 25,2% to 4,48%). Zeolite A that was synthesized have high crystallinity, around 98%, with specific area varies from 19,64—195,82 m2/g. The highest specific area of zeolite A resulted from ratio of fly ash/NaOH of 1,4; ratio of NaAl2/fly ash of 0,75; and aging time of 8 hours. AAS analysis showed that all of the zeolite A that was synthesized able to reduce 99% of Cu2+ which means that the zeolite A is applicable to be used as adsorbent. <p align="justify"> <br /> <br /> text
