Applications of Molecular Sieve 3A

Molecular Sieve 3A is an Alkali metal Alumino-Silicate, Potassium form of type 3A Crystal Structure. Having a pored size of 3A or 3 Angstroms molecule larger than 3A will not be able to be adsorbed. Basically 3A is formed when part of the Sodium Ions of the 4 Angstroms sieve are replaced by Potassium Ions.

We supply high-quality adsorbents that are tailored to specific applications and assigned appropriate grades. With 20 years of experience in providing adsorbents, we can confidently state that our Molecular Sieve 3A delivers a high absorption rate, strong crush resistance, and excellent contamination resistance, all while boasting an extended lifespan due to superior quality.

Molecular Sieve 3A is available in Beads and in Pellets form. Molecular Sieve 3A is the most selective type of zeolite and is commonly used in olefin crackers to dehydrate the feed stream before the cryogenic separation of LPG. Some of its application is mentioned as below:

1) Refrigerant Drying.
2) Natural Gas Drying.
3) Drying Cracked Gas.
4) Dehydration of Unsaturated Hydrocarbon.
5) Drying of Kerosene & Jet Fuel
6) Drying of Air in Insulated Window.
7) CO2 Drying and many more.

Molecular Sieve 3A can be regenerated by purging or evacuating at elevated temperatures. The degree of regeneration is dependent on the temperature and humidity of the gas.

SAFETY MEASURES: – Should be stored in a dry room to prevent re-adsorption of water.
