5A Molecular Sieve
The 5A Molecular Sieve, also known as calcium molecular sieve, features a precisely defined pore aperture of approximately 5 angstroms. This specific pore size makes it highly selective, allowing it to adsorb molecules smaller than 5 angstroms while excluding larger ones. This characteristic is fundamental for its role in pressure swing adsorption (PSA) instruments used in oxygen-making and hydrogen-making industries. Its chemical formula is K2O Al2O3 2.0SiO2 4.5H2O.
- Leverage the 5A molecular sieve for gas purification in various industrial processes, ensuring high levels of purity.
- Utilize this advanced adsorbent for normal paraffin separation, a critical step in petrochemical refining.
- Benefit from its effectiveness in pressure swing adsorption oxygen production, a key technology for breathing air systems.
- Employ the molecular sieve desiccant for efficient drying and purification of natural gas streams.
