Low Attrition 8×12 Mesh 5A Molecular Sieve Beads
Low Attrition 8×12 Mesh 5A Molecular Sieve Beads
Product introduction
Xuefeng Molecular Sieve type 5A is an alkali alumino silicate; it is the calcium form of the Type A crystal structure. Type 5A has an effective pore opening of 5 angstroms (0.5 nm). It will adsorb molecules with a kinetic diameter of less than 5 Angstrom and exclude those larger.
It is especially suitable for PSA adsorber applications where it may be used for the separation of normal and iso paraffins (C4 to C6 species), in PSA hydrogen purification and in oxygen concentrators.
Application
The strong ionic forces of the divalent calcium ion makes it an excellent adsorbent to remove water, CO2, H2S from sour natural
gas streams, while minimising COS formation. Light mercaptans are also adsorbed.
It is also used for the separation of normal- and iso paraffins.
Production of high purity N2, O2, H2 and inert gases from mixed gas streams.
Regeneration
1. Removal of water: it depends on the pressure, temperature and water content of the regeneration gas. Under normal circumstances, the dry gas at 200~350℃ will pass through the molecular sieve bed for 3~4 hours under the pressure of 0.3~0.5kg/cm to bring the outlet temperature to 110~180℃ and cool.
2. Removal of organic matter: replace organic matter with water vapor, and then remove water.
