Product Description
4A Molecule Sieve is a type of synthetic zeolite used for dying, purifying, and separating gases and liquids. it has uniform pore openings of approximately 4 angstroms ( Å) in diameter, which determine what molecule it can absrorb.
Applications
- Drying: Adsorbs water molecules (which are smaller than 4Å)from liquids or gases. Commonly used for drying ethanol, air, or natural gas.
- Purification: Removes impurities sunch as carbon dioxide or hydrogen sulfide from gas streams.
- Separation: Separates molecules based on size, allowing only those smaller than 4Å to enter the pores.
- Industrial uses: Used in petroleum refining, chemical production, and refrigeration systems.
How It Works
The molecular sieve selectively absorbs molecules that are small enough to fit within the pores. larger molecules are excluded, making it effective for specific tasks like water removal without interacting with larger molecules in the mixture.
Because of its ability, the 4A molecular sieve is versatile in a wide range of industrial and commercial applictions.
