Abstract

The invention provides a method of preparing zeolite Y of high degree of purity and having a silica to alumina molar ratio of from greater than 3 up to about 6.2 which comprises preparing an aluminosilicate reaction mixture having oxide molar ratios of SiO.sub.2 /Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, Na.sub.2 O/SiO.sub.2 and H.sub.2 O/Na.sub.2 O lying within specified ranges, at least part of the siliceous component of the reaction mixture being a particular hydrated sodium metasilicate and then heating the reaction mixture until zeolite Y crystallizes from the reaction mixture, the particular hydrated sodium metasilicate being defined by its ability to form substantially pure zeolite X under specified conditions.
