Abstract: Zeolite LZ-202 and other zeolites synthesized in the absence of organic templating agents and having a crystal structure isotypic with the mineral mazzite are subjected to a three-step treatment to greatly increase their surface area, catalytic activity and adsorptive capacity for adsorbates having molecular dimensions as large as the SF.sub.6 molecule. The treatment steps involve an initial conventional NH.sub.4.sup.+ ion-exchange, steaming at temperatures in excess of 300.degree. C. and a low-pH NH.sub.4.sup.+ ion-exchange at pH values below 4.0.
