Molecular Sieve is a specialized adsorbent generally used for drying purposes.
It operates on the molecular sieve principle.
In systems such as pressurized and regenerative dryers, it adsorbs moisture and certain gases in the air, preventing water from reaching the dew point within the system.
It is also effective in removing low molecular weight impurities such as water and methanol from solvents.
Molecular Sieve Properties
- Available in varieties such as 3A, 4A, and 13X
- Different particle sizes range from 0.5 mm to 5 mm
- Widely used in industries such as air separation, hydrogen purification, and natural gas dehydration
- High adsorption capacity even at low temperatures
- Can be regenerated at low temperatures
- Long service life
