The 5A Molecular Sieve is an alkali earth metal aluminosilicate, specifically the calcium form of the Type A crystal structure. With an effective pore opening of exactly 5 angstroms (0.5 nm), it is engineered to adsorb molecules with a kinetic diameter smaller than 0.5 nm while excluding larger ones. This highly selective property makes it the premier adsorbent for separating normal paraffins from branched and cyclic hydrocarbons, as well as for various Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) purification processes.
