Understanding the Structure and Properties of Molecular Sieve 13X
Molecular Sieve 13X is a fascinating material whose effectiveness in various industrial applications stems directly from its intricate structure and unique properties. As a type of zeolite, it is a crystalline aluminosilicate characterized by a faujasite framework. This structure features a high Si/Al ratio, typically around 1.25, which dictates its pore size and cation exchange capacity. The uniform pores, measuring approximately 10 Angstroms (1.0 nm), are the key to its selective adsorption capabilities, allowing molecules smaller than this diameter to enter and be adsorbed while excluding larger ones. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD. offers high-quality Molecular Sieve 13X, ensuring that the structural integrity and pore uniformity meet the rigorous demands of industrial purification processes. Understanding these fundamental properties is crucial for effective application and procurement.
The physical-chemical properties of Molecular Sieve 13X are meticulously controlled during its manufacturing process to guarantee optimal performance. Its large internal surface area, often ranging from 600 to 750 m²/g, provides abundant sites for adsorption. Coupled with this is its high capacity for adsorbing water vapor, typically 25-30% of its dry weight under standard conditions, and its strong affinity for polar molecules like CO2. Furthermore, its thermal stability, allowing it to function effectively at temperatures up to 600°C and be regenerated at temperatures between 250-350°C, makes it highly versatile for high-temperature applications. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD. ensures that each batch of Molecular Sieve 13X adheres to strict quality control standards, guaranteeing these critical properties are consistently met. This consistency is vital for users who rely on predictable performance from their adsorbents, and we aim to provide competitive purchase options for these materials.
The adsorption mechanism of Molecular Sieve 13X involves electrostatic interactions between the zeolite framework's cations and polar adsorbate molecules. These interactions create strong binding sites within the supercages of the structure. The efficiency of this mechanism is influenced by factors such as the adsorbate's polarizability and quadrupole moment, as well as temperature. For instance, CO2’s significant quadrupole moment enhances its adsorption by 13X. The durability of the zeolite framework, allowing for 500-1000 regeneration cycles, underscores its cost-effectiveness and reliability over time. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD. is committed to providing reliable supply of Molecular Sieve 13X, ensuring that industries can leverage its advanced structural and adsorptive properties for enhanced purification processes. Our team is available to discuss specific application needs and provide tailored solutions.
