Abstract: Methods for producing ruthenium perovskite represented by a chemical formula LaRuO3, wherein La is lanthanum to which twelve oxygen ions are coordinated, Ru is ruthenium to which six oxygen ions are coordinated, and O is oxygen, which comprises reacting an aqueous mixed metal ion solution containing metal ions of La and Ru with a precipitate-forming liquid in a reaction container to co-precipitate hydroxides of La and Ru, and subjecting the precipitate to a heat treatment. Alternatively, the co-precipitated mass is deposited on a suitable carrier and subsequently heated to form supported LaRuO3. The co-precipitated La and Ru hydroxides can also be directly formed on a carrier by precipitation from a homogenous solution containing La, Ru and urea. This provides a uniform dispersion of co-precipitated hydroxides on a carrier, subsequent heating of which results in formation of supported LaRuO3. The materials thus obtained are to be used as efficient catalysts for certain reactions of environmental importance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the synthesis of flyash based zeolite-Y (FAZ-Y), comprising grainding and mixing of flyash with caustic soda in a ratio ranging between 1:0.4-1:1.2 to obtain a fine homogenous fusion mixture, heating the said fusion mixture in an invert vessel at about 500-600.degree. C. for about 1-2 hours to obtain a fused mass, cooling, milling, and mixing of the said fused mass in distilled water for about 8-12 hours, subjecting the said slurry to hydrothermal crystallization at about 90-110.degree. C. for 8 to 12 hours to obtain FAZ-Y crystals, washing the said crystals with water and then subjecting the washed crystals to oven drying at 50-60.degree. C. to obtain the desired FAZ-Y crystals.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for synthesis of flyash based Zeolite-A, said process comprising grinding and mixing of flyash and caustic soda in a ratio of 1:1.2 and optionally adding sodium aluminate or aluminium hydroxide to obtain a fine homogeneous fusion mixture; heating the said mixture in an inert vessel at about 500-600.degree. C. for about 1-2 hrs. to obtain a fused mass; cooling, milling, and mixing the said fused mass in distilled water for about 8-10 hrs. with simultaneous optional additon of sodium aluminate or alum solution, in the present or absence of NaC1 followed by optional addition of zeolite-A seeding to obtain amorphous alumino -silicate slurry; subjecting the said slurry to hydrothermal crystallisation at about 90-110.degree. C. for 2 to 4 hrs. to obtain Zeolite-A crystals; and washing the said crystals with water and then subjecting the washed crystals to oven drying at about 50-60.degree. C. to obtain the FAZ-A crystals.
