Product Description
13X Molecular Sieve is a highly porous material commonly used for gas and liquid separation, drying, and purification processes. It is made from synthetic zeolite and has a larger pore size compared to other types of molecular sieves (approximately 10Å). This allows it to adsorb larger molecule such as hydrocarbons, water, and various gases.
Key Properties
- Pore Size: 10Å
- Material: Synthetic zeolite
- Chemical Composition: Sodium aluminosilicate.
Applications
- Gas Purification: Removes carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and other impurities from natural gas and air streams.
- Air Separation: Used in oxygen concentrators to separate nitrogen from oxygen.
- Drying: Dehydrates industial gases and liquids like ethanol, LPG, or refrigerants.
- Petrochemical Industry: Removes sulfur compounds and water from hydrocarbons.
Advantages
- High absorption capacity
- effective in high-humidity environments.
Limitations
- Can be affected by exposure ton oils and certain organic substances, which may clog pores.
