Abstract:
The present invention relates to an organotemplate-free synthetic process for the production of a zeoiitic material having a CHA-type framework structure comprising YO2, X 2 O 3 , and optionally comprising Z 2 O 5 , wherein said process comprises the steps of: (1 ) providing a mixture comprising one or more sources for YO 2 , one or more sources for X 2 O 3 , and seed crystals having a CHA framework structure, wherein the CHA framework structure of the seed crystals comprises YO 2 , X 2 O 3 , and optionally comprises Z2O5; and (2) crystallizing the mixture obtained in step (1 ); wherein Y is a tetravaient element, X is a trivalent element, and Z is a pentavalent element, wherein optionally one or more sources for Z 2 O 5 are further provided in step (1 ), and wherein if the CHA framework of the seed crystals does not contain Z 2 O 5 , the seed crystals then have a Y0 2 : X 2 O 3 molar ratio of 5 or greater than 5.
