Polyvalent metal zeolite Y of extremely low alkali metal content is prepared by a process of potassium ion exchange followed by polyvalent metal ion exchange. Zeolite NaY is contacted with a potassium salt solution under conditions that provide a substantial substitution of potassium for sodium. The predominately potassium zeolite Y is contacted with a solution containing at least one polyvalent metal salt under conditions that provide exchange of the polyvalent metal for both sodium and potassium. The resulting polyvalent zeolite Y contains less than 05 % alkali metal calculated as Na2O.
