Molecular Sieve 13X

Description

X-type crystal sodium, a type of aluminosilicate of alkali metal. Molecular sieve 13X adsorbs molecules whose critical diameter is not more than 10A.

Application

Used to dry gas, purify raw material in air separation equipment (removal of H2O and CO2 at the same time) and removes sulfur compounds from liquid hydrocarbons and natural gas (removal of H2S and thio-alcohol).

Molecules which can be adsorbed by molecular sieve 3A, 4A and 5A can also be adsorbed by 13X. 13X can also adsorb molecules whose diameter is a little less than critical diameter, such as some aromatic hydrocarbon and branched-chain hydrocarbon.

Regeneration

By increasing the temperature, it is capable of regeneration through the course of ventilation or exhaust.

• Regeneration temperature: 180-350°C
• Regeneration time: 3-6 hours.

Chemical Formula

Na86[(AlO2)86(SiO2)106]. XH2O

CAS No: 63231-69-6

Packing

Can be packed in form of globular or sticklike into sealed 40 kg iron drum; to be stored in a dry environment.

• Amount of H2O adsorbed is measured by every 100g of activated molecular sieve under normal pressure at 35°C.
• PH value for application is 5-11
• It can be used after regeneration if adsorbing moisture is being kept for a long time. Maximum regeneration temperature is 600°C.
