The steaming of zeolite Y (here at 873 K for 7 hours) leads to the formation of an amorphous aluminium aluminosilicate in addition to the dealuminated zeolite (DAY). An alkaline treatment of DAY causes the transformation of the non‐framework phase into an alkali aluminosilicate and the partial desilication of the DAY framework. The alkali aluminosilicate is decomposed by a moderate acid leaching under the formation of silica gel. The 29 Si MAS NMR and IR spectra of DAY and its chemically treated modifications are superimposed by the signals of the crystalline zeolite framework and the amorphous non‐framework materials whereas XRD measurements only characterize the current state of the framework.
