Abstract

Abstract A high silica faujasite structure, CSZ-3, has a composition 0.02 to 0.20 Cs2O: 0.80 to 0.95 Na2O: Al2O3: 5.0 to 7.0 SiO2: 2-10 H2O The zeolite has utility in sorption, separation and catalytic applications and it has high hydrothermal stability. It is made by reacting sources of silica, alumina, soda, and cesia together with a nucleating agent in the form of seeds or a seed solution, followed by hot aging at a temperature between 50 DEG and 160 DEG C.
