Disclosed is a FER-type zeolite having at least silicon, aluminum, and oxygen as skeletal atoms, where a molar ratio between silicon atoms to aluminum atoms is 2-100:1. In addition, when .sup.29Si solid nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is used to analyze the zeolite, a peak area in the chemical shift range of −90 ppm to −110 ppm accounts for 25% or more of a peak area in the chemical shift range of −90 ppm to −125 ppm. Also disclosed are a preparation method for and an application of the FER zeolite.
