Description

3A 8×12 Molecular Sieve

is a multiple purpose, highly porous, high capacity alkali metal alumino-silicate in the spherical form. It is the potassium form of the Type A crystal structure with pore diameters of approximately 3Å. The 3Å pore opening will allow moisture to be adsorbed but will exclude unsaturated hydrocarbons and highly polar alcohols such as methanol and ethanol. It has high mass transfer efficiency and durability.

Typical Applications:  Drying of highly polar alcohols such as, ethanol and methanol, drying of unsaturated hydrocarbons (ethylene, propylene, butadiene), static dehydration of gas or air filled insulated glass units, gas drying, and cracked gas drying.   This item ships directly from our supplier.

Product Features

• More efficient than older silica gel and alumina desiccants
• Crystalline composition
• Particularly useful in cryogenic operations
• Ease of use
• 1.5% wt. Water content (as shipped)

CHEMICAL FORMULA K12 [(Al02)12(SiO2)12] · nH2O
