Three high-silica mordenite zeolites differing in SiO440, ratio were prepared by
direct synthesis without using any template. The products Si02/A120, ratio is
influenced by the starting gel composition. This ratio is increased upon ion-exchange
with NH,Cl and subsequent calcination to prepare protonic mordenite. The protonic
mordenites with Si02/A1203ra tios of 14.6,29.2 and 34.6 were chara...
