Description
Overview
Molecular Sieve 5A is a highly effective alkali aluminosilicate, designed to deliver exceptional adsorptive performance. As the calcium form of the Type A crystal structure, Molecular Sieve 5A features a pore opening of 5 angstroms (0.5 nm), enabling it to adsorb molecules with a kinetic diameter of less than 5 angstroms. This makes it ideal for a wide range of separation and purification processes.
Key Applications
- Gas Purification: Molecular Sieve 5A is particularly effective for removing impurities such as water, CO2, and H2S from sour natural gas streams. It is also excellent at adsorbing light mercaptans while reducing COS formation.
- Normal- and Iso-Paraffin Separation: The product is highly suited for the separation of normal- and iso-paraffins, typically in C4 to C6 species, which is essential in many refining processes.
- High Purity Gas Production: This molecular sieve is also used in PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) systems for producing high purity gases, such as hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen, from mixed gas streams.
Product Features
- Strong Ionic Forces: The divalent calcium ions provide enhanced adsorption strength, making Molecular Sieve 5A highly effective in a variety of challenging gas purification environments.
- Durable & Reliable: Our Molecular Sieve 5A is available in different formats to fit your needs: Beads, Pellets (1/16”), and sizes ranging from 1.6-5.0 mm. Each format is optimized for stability and performance.
- Versatile Usage: Ideal for PSA applications, such as hydrogen purification and oxygen concentrators.
