Molecular Sieves

Molecular sieves, also known as zeolites, are crystalline aluminosilicates with a unique structure that enables them to remove water and polar molecules due to their porous crystalline structure. Their large surface area and strong ionic interactions allow them to adsorb impurities at extremely low levels. Furthermore, they can separate gases or liquids according to size or polarity, making them valuable purification tools. Oozechem is a leader in synthetic molecular sieve technology, offering ultra-stable options with excellent capacity retention. Our innovative manufacturing procedures provide reliability and quality, meeting the needs of a wide range of industries.

13X

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.

3A

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.

4A

The 4A molecular sieve, an alkali metal aluminosilicate, has an effective pore opening of about 4 angstroms. The sodium form of type A is recognized for its versatility, serving as a reliable general-purpose drying agent with outstanding physical and adsorption capabilities. Type 4A beads may adsorb a variety of chemicals, including ammonia, methanol, ethanol, water, and carbon dioxide. This molecular sieve type is often used to remove moisture from gas and liquid streams, particularly in conditions where co-adsorption of sulfur compounds and carbon dioxide is not an issue.

Molecular Sieves

5A

The 5A molecular sieve, composed of alkali metal aluminosilicate, has an effective pore opening of 5 angstroms and is derived from type A zeolite that has been calcium exchanged. 5A excels at removing carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, alcohols, oxygenates, hydrogen sulfide, methyl and ethyl mercaptans, and other polar substances by using the divalent calcium cation's strong ionic forces. It additionally proves highly effective in separating normal and iso-paraffin hydrocarbons in bulk. This molecular sieve type is a popular choice for a variety of purification applications due to its high rates of adsorption and desorption, as well as its increased contamination resistance and crush strength.
