High adsorption 3A Molecular sieves&Chinese Strip Molecular Sieves

     Pingxiang City Zhongying Molecular Sieve type 3A is an alkali metal alumino-silicate; it is the potassium form of the type A crystal structure. Type 3A has an effective pore opening of about 3 angstroms (0.3nm). This is large enough to allow in moisture, but excludes molecules such as unsaturated hydrocarbons which can potentially form polymers; and this maximises lifetime when dehydrating such molecules.

Typical Application of Molecular sieves 3A

 Drying of unsaturated hydrocarbons (e.g. ethylene, propylene, butadien)
 Cracked Gas Drying
 Drying of natural gas, if COS minimization is essential, or a minimum co-adsorption of hydrocarbons is required.
 Drying of highly polar compounds, such as methanol and ethanol
 Drying of liquid alcohol
 Static, (non-regenerative) dehydration of insulating glass units, whether air filled or gas-filled.
 Drying of refrigerants
