Abstract

Zeolite A containing sodium and potassium ions, otherwise known as 3 .ANG. molecular sieve, may be prepared by a direct route when the aqueous aluminosilicate reaction mixture to be aged at elevated temperatures contains a mole ratio of Na.sub.2 O to Na.sub.2 O and K.sub.2 O which is greater by a factor of about 1.1 than the mole ratio of Na.sub.2 O to Na.sub.2 O and K.sub.2 O in the zeolite A product. Preferably, the reaction mixture also contains zeolitic nucleation seeds to promote crystallization of the product.
