Disclosed is an abrasion-resistant granular zeolite formed from a mixture of a synthetic zeolite and a clay binder, said granular zeolite comprising a core composed of a synthetic zeolite clay binder mixture containing the synthetic zeolite at a content higher than the average synthetic zeolite content in the granular zeolite and a shell composed of a synthetic zeolite-clay binder mixture containing the clay binder at a content higher than the average clay binder content in the granular zeolite. This granular zeolite is excellent in both the zeolitic characteristics such as adsorbability and ion exchange capacity and the mechanical strength characteristics such as abrasion resistance and compression strength.

An abrasion-resistant granular zeolite formed from a mixture of a synthetic crystalline zeolite and a clay binder, said granular zeolite comprising a core composed of a synthetic zeolite-clay binder mixture containing the synthetic zeolite at a content higher than the average synthetic zeolite content in the total granular zeolite and a shell composed of a synthetic zeolite-clay binder mixture containing the clay binder at a content higher than the average clay binder content in the total granular zeolite, wherein the core and shell are present at a core/shell weight ratio of from 99/1 to 80/20, the core contains the synthetic zeolite and clay binder at a zeolite/binder weight ratio of from 90/10 to 60/40, the shell contains the clay binder and synthetic zeolite at a binder/zeolite weight ratio of from 95/5 to 30/70, the shell contains the clay binder at a content higher by at least 10 by weight than the binder content in the core, and said core and shell being calcined to harden the clay binder. A process for the preparation of an abrasion-resistant granular zeolite, which comprises the steps of granulating a primary mixture containing a synthetic zeolite and a clay binder at a zeolite/binder weight ratio of from 90/10 to 60/40 by using an aqueous solution of a water-soluble polymeric binder as a granulating medium, thereby to form wet core particles, dry-blending the resulting wet core particles with a secondary powdery mixture containing the synthetic zeolite and the clay binder at a binder/zeolite weight ratio of from 95/5 to 30/70 to form a shell coating of said powdery mixture on the surface of the core particles, said secondary mixture containing the clay binder at a content higher by at least 10% by weight than the clay binder content in the primary mixture and drying and calcining the resulting coated particles. % by weight based on the total amount.
