Abstract
Abstract Faujasitic-type crystalline zeolites X and Y are produced. In one embodiment, sodium sulfide is added to the reaction mixture as a source of sodium and as a buffer. The buffering action of the sodium sulfide provides the basicity required to maintain the alumina hydrate component of the reaction mixture in solution but not a basicity whereby zeolite crystallization is retarded. In another embodiment, a nucleating mixture having the formula 3-10 Na2S: 5-15 Na2O: 5-50 SiO2: 0.4-4.0 Al2O3: 50-500 H2O is added to the reaction mixture to promote crystalline zeolite formation.
