Zeolite Molecular Sieve 3A: High-Performance Adsorbent for Ethanol Dehydration

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is pleased to present Zeolite Molecular Sieve 3A, a specialized form of alkali-metallic silicon-aluminum compound designed for highly efficient dehydration processes. This molecular sieve possesses a unique pore opening of approximately 3 angstroms, making it an excellent adsorbent for selectively removing water molecules from various streams while excluding larger molecules.

Molecular Sieve 3A is particularly vital in industries requiring stringent moisture control. Its primary function is to adsorb molecules with a critical diameter no larger than 3 angstroms, making it ideal for dehydration applications where larger components need to remain unaffected. The material is typically provided in granule form, exhibiting a characteristic gray color, and is available in various sizes, including 1.6-2.5mm, 3-5mm, 1/16 inch, and 1/8 inch, to suit different reactor and vessel designs.


Technical parameters demonstrate the high efficacy of our Zeolite Molecular Sieve 3A. It offers a static water adsorption capacity typically exceeding 205 mg/g. Bulk density ranges from 0.66 to 0.70 g/ml depending on the form (sphere or pellet), ensuring good packing characteristics. The material exhibits robust mechanical strength, with crushing strength minimums ranging from 30 N to 80 N, and a low attrition rate of less than 0.2 wt%, ensuring durability and minimizing dust formation during handling and operation.


The applications for Zeolite Molecular Sieve 3A are extensive. It is widely used for the dehydration of unsaturated hydrocarbon gas streams, such as ethylene, propylene, butadiene, and acetylene, often preceding cryogenic separation processes in olefin crackers. It serves effectively in drying various solvents, including benzene, toluene, xylene, methanol, and significantly, ethanol. Other critical applications include natural gas dehydration with minimal COS formation, drying food-grade carbon dioxide, and removing water from oil and jet fuel. Its ability to dehydrate liquid alcohol streams is particularly valued in the biofuel and chemical industries.


Regeneration of the molecular sieve is achieved through standard industrial methods. Depending on the specific process design, regeneration can be performed via thermal swing adsorption (TSA) or pressure swing adsorption (PSA). For removing moisture effectively using TSA, temperatures typically ranging from 250°C to 300°C are required. Properly regenerated 3A molecular sieve can achieve exceptionally low dew points, often below -100°C, or reduce contaminant levels like mercaptans or CO2 to below 2 ppmv in appropriate PSA systems.
