Abstract
Abstract A crystalline, galliosilicate molecular sieve having the faujasite structure is synthesized by mixing a hydrogel having the following oxide mole ratios of components: SiO 2 /Ga 2 O 3 =6 to 15 Na 2 O/Ga 2 O 3 =1 to 5 H 2 O/Ga 2 O 3 =80 to 500 with a clear galliosilicate solution having the following oxide mole ratios of components: SiO 2 /Ga 2 O 3 =5 to 30 Na 2 O/Ga 2 O 3 =6 to 20 H 2 O/Ga 2 O 3 =200 to 800 to form a mixture. The resultant mixture is then crystallized without stirring at a temperature below about 150° C. to form the galliosilicate molecular sieve with the faujasite structure.
