For professionals in the chemical, petrochemical, and industrial gas sectors, a thorough understanding of adsorbent properties is crucial for selecting the right material for specific applications. Molecular Sieve 13X HP, a cornerstone of modern purification processes, offers a unique combination of characteristics that make it indispensable. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we emphasize the technical merits of our products to empower your decision-making. Let's delve into the technical specifications that define the superior performance of Molecular Sieve 13X HP.

Core Technical Specifications of Molecular Sieve 13X HP:

  • Nominal Pore Diameter: The defining feature of 13X molecular sieves is their pore opening of approximately 10 angstroms (1.0 nm). This specific size enables them to adsorb molecules such as water, CO2, sulfur compounds, and larger hydrocarbons that are too big for 3A, 4A, or 5A molecular sieves. This makes them ideal for bulk drying and purification of mixed streams.
  • Adsorption Mechanism: These are synthetic zeolites with a crystalline aluminosilicate structure. The adsorption occurs within the internal cavities and channels due to strong electrostatic forces that attract polar molecules. This mechanism is highly selective and efficient.
  • High Adsorption Capacity: Molecular Sieve 13X HP exhibits a high capacity for water, even at low partial pressures. For instance, it can adsorb significant amounts of water at temperatures around 90°C, far exceeding the performance of traditional desiccants like silica gel or activated alumina in similar conditions. Its ability to adsorb CO2 is also a key feature for gas processing.
  • Thermal Stability: The crystalline structure of molecular sieves provides excellent thermal stability. This means they can withstand repeated cycles of adsorption and desorption (regeneration) at elevated temperatures (typically up to 300-400°C) without significant degradation of their structure or adsorption capacity. This is vital for applications involving heated gas streams or efficient regeneration processes.
  • Mechanical Strength: Manufactured in bead or pellet form, 13X HP molecular sieves are engineered for robust mechanical properties. High crush strength and low attrition rates are critical to minimize dust formation during handling and operation, ensuring the longevity of the adsorbent bed and preventing contamination of the purified product.
  • N2/O2 Selectivity: For air separation applications, the selectivity ratio of Nitrogen (N2) to Oxygen (O2) is a key performance indicator. 13X molecular sieves generally exhibit good selectivity, allowing for efficient separation of these gases in Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) or Temperature Swing Adsorption (TSA) systems.
  • Regeneration: Molecular sieves are regenerable, meaning they can be reused many times. Regeneration is typically achieved by heating the material under a flow of dry gas (like nitrogen) or by reducing the pressure. This regenerability significantly reduces operational costs and environmental impact.
