Molecular Sieves 13X

Molecular Sieve 13X is an alkali metal aluminosilicate; it is the sodium form of the type X crystal structure. It adsorbs molecules with effective diameters small than 10 angstroms (1 nm). it can remove molecules too large to fit into type A molecular sieve.

Product Description

Molecular Sieve 13X is made from zeolite powder 13X (>70%) and binder. Molecular sieve 13X is can adsorb aromatics and branched-chain hydrocarbons. Molecular sieve 13X is commonly used in removal of mercaptans, removal of CO2 in cryogenic air separation, etc.

More Details:

Typical Chemical Formula: Na86[(AlO2)86(SiO2)106].nH2O

Silica-alumina ratio: SiO2/ Al2O3≈2.4

Application:

1. Molecular sieve 13X is used in removal of Co2 and moisture from air (air pre-purification) and other gases

2. Molecular sieve 13X is used in separation of enriched oxygen from air

3. Molecular sieve 13X is used in removal of mercaptans and hydrogen sulphide from hydrocarbon liquid streams such as LPG, butane, propane etc

4. Molecular sieve 13X is used in removal of n-chained compositions from aromatics
