Abstract
A novel heat-resistant low-silica zeolite, an industrial production process, and uses of the low-silica zeolite are provided. The heat-resistant low-silica zeolite contains Si and Al in a molar ratio of SiO.sub.2 /Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 ranging from 1.9 to 2.1, and has sodium and/or potassium as metal cation, wherein the low-silica zeolite contains low-silica faujasite type zeolite at a content of not lower than 88%, and has a thermal decomposition temperature ranging from 870.degree. C. to 900.degree. C. in the air. The process for producing the heat-resistant low-silica zeolite comprises mixing a solution containing an aluminate with another solution containing a silicate, allowing the resulting mixture to gel, and aging the resulting gel, at the temperature of from 0.degree. C. to 60.degree. C., to prepare a slurry having a viscosity ranging from 10 to 10000 cp and containing amorphous aluminosilicate having a specific surface area of not less than 10 m.sup.2 /g with an SiO.sub.2 /Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 molar ratio ranging from 1.9 to 2.1; and subsequently crystallizing the aluminosilicate. The low-silica zeolite ion-exchanged with lithium or an alkaline earth metal is useful for gas separa…
