Abstract
A process is provided for the preparation of zeolites belonging to the faujasite structural class and exhibiting a Si:Al ratio higher than 1 in which a reaction mixture is first produced, which has a pH higher than 10 and contains water, a source of tetravalent silicon, a source of trivalent aluminum, a source of hydroxide ions in the form of a strong inorganic or organic base and a structuring agent ST so as to produce an aluminosilicate gel having the desired composition to permit its crystallization into a compound of the faujasite structural class. The gel obtained is kept at a temperature, pressure and for a sufficient period to effect the crystallization of the gel into a precursor of the zeolite consisting of the zeolite trapping the structuring agent ST in its cavities and the precursor is then subjected to a calcination to destroy the structuring agent and to produce the zeolite. The structuring agent ST consists of at least one compound belonging to the group formed by the carbon-containing macrorings and macropolyrings which contain in the rings heteroatoms chosen from oxygen, nitrogen, silicon and sulphur, and which contain 10 to 24 atoms per ring. Precursors of the zeo…
