Abstract
THIS communication reports the initial results of our investigation of the crystal chemistry of the rare earth faujasite system. In this investigation a single crystal of faujasite was placed in contact with concentrated cerium nitrate, Ce(NO3)3, at room temperature for 6 months. The exchange data of Ames1 on the cerium exchange of Linde X and our own data (H. S. Sherry, personal communication) suggest that the cerium exchange in the crystal will be approximately 60 per cent, which corresponds to a unit cell composition, (Ce2O3)6 (CaO)7.6(Na2O)3.9·29.5 Al2O3·133 SiO2·270 H2O.
