Molecular sieve balls are spherical particles made of materials such as silicate. They have a regular pore structure and can selectively adsorb according to molecular size and polarity. They are widely used in adsorption, separation and catalysis.
Applications of molecular sieves 1. Gas separation: such as oxygen and nitrogen separation. 2. Desiccant: used for air and natural gas drying. 3. Catalyst: used for catalytic cracking and other reactions in petrochemicals. 4. Adsorbent: used to remove harmful gases and impurities.
Common types of molecular sieves 1. 3A molecular sieve: pore size 3Å, used for drying polar liquids and gases. 2. 4A molecular sieve: pore size 4Å, used for air drying and gas purification. 3. 5A molecular sieve: pore size 5Å, used for petroleum dewaxing and gas separation. 4.13X molecular sieve: pore size 10Å, used for air separation and natural gas purification
