5A Type Molecular Sieve
The 5A molecular sieve, also known as Zeolite 5A, is a crystalline aluminosilicate adsorbent with a precise pore size of 5 angstroms. Its unique structure allows it to selectively adsorb molecules with kinetic diameters smaller than 5 angstroms, making it exceptionally effective in a wide range of industrial purification and separation processes. This sieve is particularly valued for its high adsorption capacity, rapid adsorption kinetics, and excellent regenerability, ensuring efficient and cost-effective operation in demanding applications.
