A sulfate enclathrated microporous zeolite of composition Na7.4[SiAlO4]6(SO4)0.7(H2O)4.8 with intermediate framework structure (INT) between the well known zeolites sodalite (SOD) and cancrinite (CAN) can be prepared by the autothermal synthesis, a method first demonstrated in reference. The product (abbreviated as “SO4‐INT”) was characterized by X‐ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X‐ray analysis (EDX‐analysis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR) and thermogravimetry (TG). SO4‐INT was found to crystallize as spheres with 1–6 μm in diameter with a rough surface. Sometimes the spheres are agglutinated to each other by a few amount of amorphous material within the sample. The thermal behavior of the new phase was further studied. At elevated temperature (1000 °C) a transformation of SO4‐INT into a large amount of nosean was observed beside some parts of nepheline, formed by crystallization of the amorphous byproduct. The nosean phase was found to be stable up to 1250 °C, before the onset of a total destruction by melting during further heating. Finally a re‐crystallization of the melt during cooling yielded carnegieite as the final product (low form at room temperature). This unusual thermal behavior of SO4‐INT is discussed in terms of structural interactions of the sulfate guests inside the aluminosilicate host‐framework and in comparison with literature data of the intermediate phases CO3‐INT, as well as NO3‐INT.
