Abstract: In this paper Zeolite A was synthesized by hydrogel solution prepared from silica and aluminium precursor under hydrothermal condition at atmospheric pressure. The important parameter, the crystallization time for three experiments was chosen. Crystallization was carried out at 953 C for 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours and which all will term as Zeolite 7 for 24 hour), Zeolite 8 for 48 hour and Zeolite 9 for 72hour). According to the SEM and XRD results, zeolite sample prepared by 48 h crystallization time (zeolite 8) had the good crystalline structure and found to be in closely agreement with reference 2 value of Na-A. As the hemostatic agent, Zeolite as well as the mixture of CaCl2 and Zeolite was tested successfully to stop sever bleeding. The main aim of these study is that those zeolites can be applied for using in emergency case in the fields of not only military use but also for applying as a Hemostatic Agent for Emergency Environmental Disasters.
