Selecting the appropriate molecular sieve is crucial for optimizing performance in various industrial processes. The effectiveness of these crystalline aluminosilicates, commonly known as zeolites, hinges on their precise pore size, adsorption capacity, and compatibility with the target application. As a leading manufacturer and supplier, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. guides clients through this selection process to ensure they buy the right molecular sieve for their needs.

The primary differentiator among molecular sieves is their pore diameter. For instance, 3A molecular sieves are ideal for dehydrating polar solvents like ethanol and preventing moisture ingress in insulated glass units due to their 3-angstrom pores, which exclude larger molecules. 4A molecular sieves, with 4-angstrom pores, are versatile general-purpose desiccants for gases and liquids, including natural gas and refrigerants. 5A molecular sieves, featuring 5-angstrom pores, are effective for separating normal paraffins from branched ones and purifying cracked gases. Finally, 13X molecular sieves, with larger 8-10 angstrom pores, are essential for air separation to remove CO2 and water, and for sweetening in petrochemical streams.

When making a selection, consider the specific contaminants to be removed, the operating temperature and pressure, and the required purity level of the final product. For example, if you need a desiccant for deep drying of natural gas, a 13X sieve might be more suitable than a 4A. Similarly, for separating specific hydrocarbons, a 5A sieve could be the optimal choice. We offer competitive molecular sieve price points and technical support to help you make informed decisions.
