Abstract
The conditions for producing tetragonal and cubic leucite from tetragonal analcime by hydrothermal ion exchange in an alkaline medium are identified. The process parameters are specified. A composite ceramic material based on cubic leucite is developed for the heating elements of plants for vacuum synthesis of pure inorganic compounds.
