Results are reported of an experimental study which examined the effect of solution composition on the composition, structure, and crystallization path of phillipsite and merlinoite in the system Na 2 OK 2 O-Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 H 2 O at 80°C and pH = 13.34-13.71. At a fixed 3.5 M total dissolved silica concentration, zeolite Si/Al ratio was found to be a linear function of pH within the pH range of the experiments. 29 Si NMR spectra of the initial solutions show that pH determines the distribution of aqueous aluminosilicate species and, as a result, the precipitated zeolite Si/Al ratio. SEM observations reveal that zeolites may precipitate with or without the presence of an intermediary gel phase, depending on solution composition. The growth rate of the zeolites was found to be dependent upon solution pH and total dissolved aluminum concentration. These observations are discussed in terms of their possible applications to natural zeolite paragenesis and serve to delineate the framework of a comprehensive theory for the mechanism of zeolite crystallization from highly alkaline solutions.
