The rate of formation of zeolite A is proportional to the quantity of crystalline zeolite present in thereaction system. The period during which crystal formation can be ob-served is preceded by an induction period which is probably the time required for forma-tion ofnuclei. The induction period can be eliminated by the addition of zeolite A to the reaction mixture at the beginning of the reaction. The formation of nuclei and the forma-tion of zeolite crystals both result from the reaction of some species dissolved in the liquid phase (sodium hydroxide solution) of the reaction mixture and derived from the amor-phous substrate. Therate of formation of zeolite A is increased as the concentration of alkali in the aqueous phase is increased. Asthe volume of the aqueous phase is increased, at a constant alkali concentration, the induction period is decreased with little change in the absolute rate of reaction. A mechanism is proposed which explains most of the experimental observations.Synthesis of a variety of crystallinealuminosilicates of the zeolite group has been the subject of a series of publications by Barrer and co-workers during the past 20 years. 1 Highly significant contributions to this field were made by Milton, Breck, and co-workers in the discovery of a new synthetic zeolite, zeolite A, 2 and a synthetic zeolite isostructural with faujasite, zeolite X. 3 Barrer, especially, has studied a number of variables which determine the compositions and crystal structures of zeolites prepared synthetically. Flanigen and Breck conducted a kinetic study on the growth of zeolites A and X; their publication does not contain experimental details. 4
