Molecular Sieve

The 13X molecular sieve, derived from zeolite X in its sodium form, has substantially larger pore openings than type A crystals, with an effective pore diameter of 10 angstroms. Type 13X has the highest theoretical capacity of any common adsorbent and exceptional mass transfer rates, making it superior to type A zeolite in terms of adsorption performance. It excels at eliminating impurities that exceed the size limits of type A zeolite crystal cages. Furthermore, it is often used in nitrogen-air separation processes to provide highly purified oxygen streams. Our 13X materials have strong physical properties and excellent adsorption capacities for water, alcohols, oxygenates, sulfur compounds, and carbon dioxide.

The 3A molecular sieve, an alkali metal aluminosilicate, has pore openings of about 3 angstroms. The 3A molecular sieve (which is produced via ion exchange of sodium in type 4A sieves with potassium) has high selectivity, eliminating most molecules except water. Notably, it improves crush strength, durability, and adsorption rates. This flexible bead effectively removes moisture in both liquid and gas applications. Type 3A is widely used in a variety of industries, including insulated glass production, refrigerant drying, and moisture removal. It can also be used to dry natural gas, hydrocarbon liquids, ethanol, and olefins, a reactive monomer.
