Clinoptilolitic zeolite based on the native zeolite of Nakhchivan was synthesized, and the influence of the conditions of synthesis for the crystallization process (temperature, concentration of the thermal solution and mineralizer) was studied. The starting material was zeolite tuff from the Nakhchivan Kyukyuchaiskoe deposit. The optimal conditions of synthesis afforded the production of clinoptilolite with 100% crystallinity. Other structural types of zeolites or their associations can be obtained by changing the optimal conditions of synthesis.
