What is a 5A Molecular Sieve?
What is a 5A Molecular Sieve? 5A molecular sieve is an alkali aluminosilicate in the calcium form of a Type A crystal structure with a pore size of 5 angstroms (0.5 nm). It can adsorb any molecule with a diameter smaller than 5 angstroms (0.5 nm). Not only does it have the functions of 3A, and 4A molecular sieves, but it also adsorbs C3-C4 n-alkanes, ethyl chloride, ethyl bromide, butanol, etc. Zeolite molecular sieve 5A can be applied to the separation of n-isomeric hydrocarbons, pressure swing adsorption (PSA) for gases, and the co-adsorption of water and carbon dioxide.
