  • the layered silicate obtained according to example 2 was calcined for a period of 12 hours at 520° C. and then for a period of 2 hours at 560° C.
  • a tectosilicate which had the reflections shown in table 2 in the X-ray diffraction pattern (Cu K alpha 1 radiation) was obtained.
  • a pulverulent, freshly calcined sample of the tectosilicate obtained according to example 3 (about 40 mg) was weighed in and was degassed overnight at 120° C. and a reduced pressure of about 10 ⁇ 6 MPa. The measurement was then effected with nitrogen at 77 K on a volumetric sorption apparatus (Autosorb AS-6, from Quantachrome).
  • FIG. 7 shows the isotherm obtained.
  • the step-like curve of a type I adsorption isotherm typical of microporous solids is evident (cf. DIN 66135).

  • FIGS. 8 a and 8 b show the isotherms obtained. It is clearly evident that the slimmer molecule, n-butane, is preferentially adsorbed, whereas the more bulky isobutane is taken up only to a slight extent with a capacity of ⁇ 0.2% by weight. Thus, separation of n-butane and isobutane is possible with the aid of the tectosilicate RUB-41.
