China Molecular Sieve 4A Desiccant for Natural Gas Dehydration, Find details about China Molecular Sieve, Molecular Sieve 4A from Molecular Sieve 4A Desiccant for Natural Gas Dehydration
Molecular Sieve type 4A is an alkali alumina silicate; it is the sodium form of the Type A crystal structure. 4A molecular sieve has an effective pore opening of about 4 angstroms (0.4nm). type 4A molecular sieve will adsorb most molecules with a kinetic diameter of less than 4 angstroms and exclude those larger. Such adsorb-able molecules include simple gas molecules such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and straight chain hydrocarbons. Branched chain hydrocarbons and aromatics are excluded.
