Abstract

Synthetic 4A-type zeolite was obtained from a natural raw material of volcanic origin which was thermally and chemically pretreated. The procedures are described together with the characteristics of the zeolite. The 4A-type zeolite prepared in the described way exhibits about 70% of crystallinity when compared with the commercial products and a somewhat lower surface area.
