Synthetic crystalline zeolite and process for preparing same

摘要

A new three-dimensional crystalline zeolite having unique adsorptive properties is prepared hydrothermally from a reaction gel containing tetramethylammonium hydroxide in addition to a source of silica and alumina and sodium hydroxide. The zeolite as crystallized from the reaction system contains tetramethylammonium cations in addition to sodium cations. The zeolite is denominated zeolite OMEGA .
