Molecular Sieves 5A

5A molecularsieve is calcium A-type silicon aluminate. A molecular sieve 5A can absorb molecules with critical diameters not exceeding 5A. All molecular molecules which can be adsorbed using 3A and 4A molecularsieves can be adsorbed via 5A.

About Molecular Sieves 5A:

Structural characteristics: Molecular sieve 5A has a unique three-dimensional pore structure; its pore size is 5A, so it is named. This structure allows molecular sieve 5A to adsorb efficiently and separate gas molecules efficiently, especially medium-sized molecules.

Adsorption performance: Molecular sieve 5A has high adsorption performance and can adsorb many gas molecules. Its adsorption capacity and rate are higher than other types of molecular sieves. In addition, molecular sieve 5A has a high selectivity and can effectively adsorb and separate specific gas molecules.

Regenerating capacity: molecular sieve 5A can be regenerated by heating, washing, and other recycling methods. This reduces the cost of use and reduces environmental pollution.

Environmental protection: Molecular sieve 5A is an environmentally friendly catalyst that will not produce harmful substances or cause environmental pollution. 

Applicationes of Molecular Sieves, 5A：

Petrochemical field

In the petrochemical field, molecular sieve 5A is mainly used to separate and purify components in petroleum. Because of the unique pore size and selective adsorption properties of molecular sieve 5A, it can effectively separate different hydrocarbon compounds in petroleum, such as alkanes, olefins and aromatic hydrocarbons. This separation technology is of great significance for improving the quality and purity of petroleum products, thus improving the market competitiveness of petroleum products.

The natural gas sector

In the natural gas field, molecular sieve 5A is mainly used for the dehydration, desulfurization and decarbonization of natural gas. Natural gas contains a lot of impurities, such as moisture, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide, which will affect its quality and combustion efficiency. Using molecular sieve 5A for adsorption separation, these impurities can be effectively removed, and natural gas quality and calorific value can be improved. In addition, molecular sieve 5A can also be used for natural gas storage and transportation, improving the utilization rate of natural gas and economic benefits.

Environmental protection

In environmental protection, molecular sieve 5A is mainly used for waste gas and wastewater treatment. Waste gas contains many harmful gases and particles; using molecular sieve 5A adsorption separation can effectively remove these harmful gases and particles, reducing environmental pollution. In wastewater treatment, molecular sieve 5A can remove pollutants such as heavy metal ions and organic matter and improve wastewater treatment efficiency and water quality. In addition, molecular sieve 5A can be used for solid waste treatment, such as waste incineration and gas treatment.

Medical field

In medicine, molecular sieve 5A is mainly used to separate and purify drugs. Using molecular sieve 5A for adsorption separation, impurities and harmful components in the drug can be effectively removed, and the purity and safety of the drug can be improved. In addition, molecular sieve 5A can also be used as a carrier and sustained-release agent for drugs to improve the efficacy of drugs and reduce side effects. In addition, molecular sieve 5A can be used for medical waste gas treatment, such as operating room waste gas treatment.

Food industry

In the food industry, molecular sieve 5A is mainly used to separate and purify food additives. Food additives often contain harmful impurities and residues; through molecular sieve 5A, adsorption separation can effectively remove these impurities and residues and improve the safety and quality of food additives. At the same time, molecular sieve 5A can also treat food packaging materials to remove harmful substances.

Air separation field

In the field of air separation, molecular sieve 5A is mainly used to separate nitrogen, oxygen and other components from the air. Using molecular sieve 5A for adsorption separation, high-purity nitrogen, oxygen and other products can be obtained and widely used in medical, chemical, metallurgical and other fields.

Production Method of Molecular Sieves, 5A：

Preparation of raw materials: Prepare raw materials such as sodium silicate, hydroxide, and sulfuric acid. Sodium silicate is the primary raw material for preparing molecular sieves, while sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid are the catalysts in the reaction process.

Dosing and mixing: sodium silicate, sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid and template agent are mixed in proportion to obtain the mixed liquid. 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 templating agent will act as a guiding agent to control the silica gel's pore size and specific surface area.

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.
