The preparation of ammonium ion exchanged Y zeolites has long been known to be a precursor step in the preparation of H Y zeolites. The former materials have been characterized by thermogravimetric experiments, while the latter zeolites that contain the H atoms as hydroxyl groups have been intensively examined by infrared spectroscopy (1,2,3,4). A systematic description of the preparation of NH Y zeolites has apparently not been reported, although an ion exchange isotherm for the Na-NH exchange at 25°C has been given (5). Divalent copper Y zeolites have been widely prepared and the Cu(II)-Na exchange process has been described by ion exchange isotherms (5,6). It was clearly shown that Y zeolite exhibited a strong preference for Cu(II) over Na . Similar behavior might be expected for the Cu(II)-NH ion exchange, although hydrogen bonding by the ammonium ion in the hydrated zeolite lattice might influence the ion exchange process. Clarification of the practical preparative relationships involved in the Cu(II)-NH -Na Y zeolite system is desired because of developing industrial application of these materials. For example, Cu-H-Na Y zeolites (7) and Cu-H-RE Y zeolites (8), where RE = rare earth, have been found to be excellent cracking catalysts that produce high octane gasoline having enhanced aromatic and olefinic content. In addition, i t has been observed recently that Cu-H Y zeolites efficiently adsorb NH from gas streams containing low concentrations of this impurity (9). 4

Conclusions The p r e p a r a t i v e r e l a t i o n s h i p s between the degree o f i o n ex change o f Na Y and NU Y z e o l i t e s w i t h copper(II) ions as a f u n c t i o n o f the i n i t i a l copper(II) s o l u t i o n c o n c e n t r a t i o n and the r e s u l t a n t pH a f t e r e q u i l i b r a t i o n have been determined. Copper and ammonium i o n s r e a d i l y r e p l a c e sodium i o n s i n t h e supercages, where the s e l e c t i v i t y i s Cu(II) > N H * > N a i n the hydrated z e o l i t e . Repeated e q u i l i b r a t i o n o f Na Y with N H results i n some o f the N a i o n s i n t h e s m a l l cages being exchanged, and e l e vated temperatures enhance t h i s replacement. Graphs have been presented t h a t allow the p r e p a r a t i o n o f Cu(II) i o n exchanged Na Y or NH Y z e o l i t e s having predetermined copper(II) contents. 4
