Molecular Sieve 5A

Molecular Sieve 5A is an alkali metal aluminosilicate; Molecular sieve 5A is the calcium form of the type A crystal structure. Molecular sieve 5A adsorbs molecules with effective diameters small than 5 angstroms (0.5nm).

Product Description

Molecular Sieve 5A is made from zeolite powder 5A (>70%) and binder. Molecular sieve 5A is usually used for separation of the normal and isomerous alkane, co-adsorption of carbon dioxide and moisture, along with pressure swing adsorption (PSA) for gases. Molecular Sieve 5A have the shape of beads, pallets.

More Detailed:

Typical Chemical Formula: Ca4,5 [(Al02)12(SiO2)12].nH2O

Silica-alumina ratio: SiO2/ Al2O3≈2

Application:

1. Molecular sieve 5A is an excellent adsorbent to remove water, CO2, H2S from sour natural gas streams, while decreasing COS formation

2. Molecular sieve 5A can adsorb light mercaptans

2. Molecular sieve 5A also use for the separation of normal- and iso-paraffins

3. Molecular sieve 5A can use for high purity N2, O2, H2 and inert gases from mixed gas streams
