5A Molecular Sieve
5A Molecular Sieves are highly specialized synthetic crystalline zeolites designed with a uniform pore opening of 5 angstroms. This precise pore size allows for the selective adsorption of molecules with diameters less than 5 angstroms, while effectively excluding larger molecules. This capability makes them indispensable for processes requiring the separation of normal paraffins from iso-paraffins and other hydrocarbon mixtures.
- Benefit from the high selective adsorption of n-paraffins, a key aspect of paraffin separation.
- Leverage these sieves for efficient pressure swing adsorption (PSA) applications, crucial in gas purification.
- Utilize their dual functionality for both hydrocarbon separation and the removal of moisture and carbon dioxide from gas streams.
- Ensure optimal performance in diverse industrial settings due to their robust structure and regenerable nature, supporting cost-effective operations.
Key Advantages
