Ensuring High Purity Oxygen: The Science of Lithium Molecular Sieve Adsorption
The quest for high-purity oxygen is paramount in both medical and industrial settings. The science underpinning this achievement largely relies on advanced adsorption materials, with lithium molecular sieves at the forefront. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. leverages the intricate science of adsorption to deliver molecular sieves that enable the efficient and reliable production of high-purity oxygen.
The core principle involves selective adsorption, where specific molecules in a gas mixture are preferentially captured by a solid adsorbent. In the case of oxygen generation, ambient air is passed through a molecular sieve bed. Molecular sieves, particularly lithium-based ones, are engineered with a porous structure and specific chemical properties that allow them to attract and hold nitrogen molecules while permitting oxygen molecules to pass through.
The effectiveness of lithium molecular sieves stems from their high affinity for nitrogen. This affinity is quantified by the nitrogen adsorption capacity and the N2/O2 separation coefficient. Lithium’s ionic properties and its position within the zeolite structure create a strong electrostatic field. This field, along with the molecular sieve's pore geometry, specifically targets nitrogen molecules, which possess a significant quadrupole moment. Nitrogen molecules are more strongly attracted to the active sites within the sieve pores compared to oxygen molecules, leading to their preferential adsorption. This selective binding is the cornerstone of high purity oxygen production.
This scientific interaction ensures that as air is processed, the nitrogen content is significantly reduced, resulting in an oxygen-rich stream. The efficiency of this process is further enhanced by the kinetics of adsorption and desorption. Lithium molecular sieves are designed for rapid adsorption during the high-pressure phase and swift desorption during the low-pressure phase, allowing for continuous and efficient oxygen generation cycles in PSA and VPSA systems.
