The invention relates to the preparation of synthetic zeolites selected from the group formed by chabazite, merlinoite, edingtonite, ZSM 5 and ZSM 11. In accordance with the invention, a zeolite selected from the group formed by mordenite, ferrierite, clinoptilolite and the type X and type Y zeolites is subjected to a treatment with at least one base. The invention further relates to zeolites obtained by said process.

Process for the preparation of synthetic zeolites, and zeolites obtained

The invention relates to the preparation of the zeolite ZK-5 from a starting zeolite selected from the group consisting of the zeolites P (Cl), P' (Cl), Q (Br) and Q' (Br). In accordance with the invention, the barium ions contained in the starting zeolite are extracted therefrom by means of a barium-binding agent selected from the group consisting of precipitating agents which form with the barium ions a compound that precipitates, and of complexing agents which form with the barium ions a barium complex. The zeolite ZK-5 obtained may be used in the separation or cracking of hydrocarbons.
