High Quality Adsorbent Zeolite 3A Molecular Sieve

Short Description:

Molecular Sieve type 3A is an alkali metal alumino-silicate; it is the potassium form of the type A crystal structure. Type 3A has an effective pore opening of about 3 angstroms (0.3nm). This is large enough to allow in moisture, but excludes molecules such as unsaturated hydrocarbons which can potentially form polymers; and this maximises lifetime when dehydrating such molecules.

Regeneration of 3A Molecular Sieve

Molecular sieve Type 3A can be regenerated by either heating in the case of thermal swing processes; or by lowering the pressure in the case of pressure swing processes.
To remove moisture from a 3A molecular sieve, a temperature of 200-230°C is required. A properly regenerated molecular sieve can give moisture dew points below -100°C. The outlet concentrations on a pressure swing process will depend on the gas present, and on the conditions of the process.

Size

3A – Zeolites are available in beads of 1-2 mm(10×18 mesh), 2-3 mm(8×12 mesh), 2.5-5 mm(4×8 mesh) and as powder, and in pellet 1.6mm, 3.2mm.

Attention
To avoid damp and pre-adsorption of organic before running, or must to be reactivated.
