    Abstract: 'Defect-zeolites' (contg. tetrahedral voids filled with H2O and protons) are produced by selectively removing beryllium from alkali beryllo-alumino-silicates having a faujasite structure (zeolite Y), in which the molar ratio SiO2:al2O3. is 5:1 to 10:1, by treatment with aq. solns. having pH 3.0-5.5 (the soln. may contain buffer substances). The 'defect-zeolites' are used instead or ordinary aluminosilicate zeolites for adsorption or catalysis in cases when improved temp. stability and increased adsorption or catalysis in cases when improved stability and increased adsorption capacity required. After the removal of beryllium, there remains excess SiO2 with respect to Al2O3 (compared with the aluminosilicate zeolites), whereby the acid resistance of the product is also improved. The process results also in an increased average, lattice constant, whereby adsoption is promoted. The crystallinity of the product is not affected otherwise.
