Application
Molecular sieves, 13X may be used for commercial gas drying, air plant-feed purification (simultaneous water and carbon dioxide removal) and liquid hydrocarbon/natural gas sweetening (hydrogen sulfide and mercaptan removal).
The product (Molecular sieves, 13X) have been used for the abstraction of water from the 100% ethanol.Also, they are widely employed as an adsorbent in adsorption studies.
General description
Molecular sieves are crystalline metal aluminosilicates having a three-dimensional interconnecting network of silica and alumina tetrahedra. Natural water of hydration is removed from this network by heating to produce uniform cavities which selectively adsorb molecules of a specific size. This sodium form represents the basic structure of the type X family, with an effective pore opening in the 910¼ range (for example: it will not adsorb perfluorotributylamine). The 8 to 12-mesh type is common in liquid-phase applications.
Molecular sieves, 13X showed preferential adsorption of CO, over nitrogen or hydrogen at all pressures up to 250psia.
