Molecular Sieves 13X

Molecular Sieve 13X (alkali metal silicon aluminate) is a particular type. Its effective aperture in sodium salt forms is 10 angstrom. However, it can adsorb molecules that are smaller than 10 to 10 angstrom. It is suitable for use as catalyst carrier, carbon dioxide and water co-adsorber.

About 13X Molecular Sieves:

Screening performance: 13X molecular sieve has extremely high screening performance and can effectively separate different molecular-sized substances. The sieving principle is based on the difference in adsorption capacity of molecular sieves to different-sized molecules so that substances with smaller molecular sizes can pass through the molecular sieve. In contrast, substances with larger molecular sizes are adsorbed on the surface of the molecular sieve.

Adsorption performance: The 13X molecular sieve has strong adsorption performance and can absorb water, organic matter, metal ions and other substances. The adsorption principle is mainly based on the micropore structure and surface properties of the molecular sieve, and the active sites inside and on the surface of the micropore can interact with the adsorbed substance to achieve the adsorption and separation of the substance.

Ion exchange properties: 13X molecular sieve can be exchanged with metal ions in solution, thereby removing harmful metal ions in solution. The ion exchange principle is mainly based on the action of the molecular sieve, which can be replaced with the metal ions in the solution so that the harmful metal ions are fixed on the molecular sieve to achieve the removal of metal ions.

Stability: This makes 13X molecular sieves have a broad application prospect in industrial applications.

Regeneration: 13X molecular sieves can be regenerated by heating, washing, and other recycling methods. This reduces the cost of use and reduces environmental pollution.

Applicationes  13X Molecular Sieves：

Petrochemical field: 13X molecular sieve is mainly used in the petrochemical field for desulfurization and nitrogen removal of petroleum products such as gasoline and diesel. In addition, a 13X molecular sieve can also be used to dehydrate and desalinate heavy oil to improve its quality and yield.

Environmental protection: A 13X molecular sieve is mainly used for waste gas and wastewater treatment in environmental protection. Through the adsorption of molecular sieves, harmful gases in waste gas, such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, etc., can be effectively removed to reduce environmental pollution. At the same time, a 13X molecular sieve can also be used for wastewater treatment to remove harmful substances in wastewater, such as heavy metal ions, organic matter, etc., to achieve the purpose of purification and reuse.

Medical field: A 13X molecular sieve is mainly used in the medical field to separate and purify drugs. Through the sieving effect of molecular sieves, substances of different molecular sizes can be separated to obtain high-purity drugs.

Food industry: 13X molecular sieves are mainly used in the food industry to separate and purify food additives. Through the adsorption of molecular sieves, impurities and harmful substances in food additives can be removed, and the quality and safety of food additives can be improved.

Energy field: 13X molecular sieves are mainly used for fuel desulfurization in the energy field. Through the adsorption of a molecular sieve, the sulfur element in fuel can be effectively removed, and the sulfur emission of fuel can be reduced.

Production Method of 13X Molecular Sieves：

Raw material preparation: First, you must prepare sodium silicate, hydroxide, sulfuric acid, and other raw materials. Sodium silicate is the primary raw material for preparing molecular sieves, while sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid are the catalysts in the reaction process.

Ingredients and mixing: sodium silicate, sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid are mixed in a particular proportion to obtain a mixture. This ratio needs to be determined according to the specific production process.

Crystallization reaction: the mixture is heated to a specific temperature, so sodium silicate reacts with sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid to produce silicic acid gel. In this process, the temperature and reaction time must be controlled to ensure the quality of the generated silica gel.

Aging and aging: The resulting silicone gel is aged to stabilize its structure. The time and temperature of aging treatment also need to be determined according to the specific production process.

Washing and drying: the aged silicone gel is washed to remove impurities and unreacted raw materials. After washing, the silicic acid gel is dried to obtain the primary product of the molecular sieve.

Sieving and grading: The dried molecular sieve primary product is sieved and graded to obtain molecular sieve products with different particle sizes. In this process, the size range of screening and grading needs to be determined according to the application needs of the product.

Packaging and storage: The sieve and graded molecular sieve products are packaged and stored for subsequent application.
