Abstract

A faujasite aluminosilicate with a Si/Al ratio in the range of 1.05 to 1.26 having an non-uniform aluminum distribution, synthesized by crystallizing the zeolite from a mixture of alkali metal aluminate and alkali metal silicate wherein the mixture has an alkali metal oxide to silica ratio of at least 1.6 and a water to alkali metal oxide ratio of at least 37. The X-zeolite has utility as a gas separation adsorbent such as separating oxygen from nitrogen in air.
