Molecular Sieve 13X is a highly effective alkali-metallic, silicon-aluminum compound widely utilized as an adsorbent in numerous industrial processes. Known for its large pore size, typically capable of adsorbing molecules with a critical diameter not exceeding 9 angstroms, it is particularly valuable for separating and purifying gas and liquid streams.

One of the primary applications of Molecular Sieve 13X is the efficient removal of sulfur compounds, including hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and mercaptans, from liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), natural gas liquids (NGL), and other liquid hydrocarbons like propane and butane. This is crucial for meeting stringent quality standards and preventing equipment corrosion or catalyst poisoning in downstream processes. Furthermore, it plays a key role in removing odorous sulfur compounds from aerosol propellants, enhancing product safety and usability.

Beyond sulfur species, Molecular Sieve 13X is also exceptionally effective for deep dehydration. It is extensively used for drying compressed air, instrument air, and various inert gases, achieving very low dew points. In air separation units, it is applied in feed gas pre-purification to remove water, carbon dioxide, and hydrocarbons prior to cryogenic separation. It is also vital for the dehydration and purification of ammonia synthesis gas.

The adsorptive capacity of Molecular Sieve 13X extends to the removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from various gas streams, including cracked gas. Its versatility makes it suitable for applications in pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and vacuum swing adsorption (VSA) processes for oxygen/nitrogen separation, contributing to the production of rich oxygen streams and medical oxygen in small-scale concentrators.

Molecular Sieve 13X is typically supplied in granular forms, such as spheres or pellets, available in various sizes to suit different reactor designs and pressure drop requirements, commonly including sizes like 1.6-2.5mm and 3-5mm. Its robust physical properties ensure durability and long service life under challenging industrial conditions.

Regeneration of saturated Molecular Sieve 13X is readily achieved through standard industrial methods, either by heating in thermal swing adsorption (TSA) systems, often requiring temperatures around 250-300°C to desorb moisture, or by lowering pressure in PSA processes. Proper regeneration restores the sieve's adsorptive capacity, ensuring continuous and efficient operation.
