The NaCaA zeolite was modified by a method of chemical vapor deposition of silicon alkoxide; the resulting silica overlayer on the external enclosed the pore-opening size precisely. On the basis of the measurements of rate of adsorption and chromatographic response, it was found that the rate of adsorption of lower olefins (C[sub 2]H[sub 4], C[sub 3]H[sub 6], and 1-C[sub 4]H[sub 8]) was suppressed by the modification with the equilibrium adsorption amount unchanged; the extent of suppression depended upon the length of the olefins and the amount of silica deposited. Lower olefins thus can be separated by choosing the extent of silica deposited.
