About 4a molecular sieve
We are a leading manufacturer of 4A Molecular Sieve for the various applications such as - The pore size for 4A molecular Sieve is 4A. It is mainly used to adsorb water, methanol, ethanol, sulfureted hydrogen, carbon dioxide, ethylene, propylene, does not adsorb any larger molecular than its pore size, and often used as desiccant in industrial applications.
Superior Adsorption PerformanceWith a high specific surface area and controlled pore size of 4 angstroms, the 4A molecular sieve efficiently adsorbs water molecules from gases and liquids. Its impressive water adsorption capacity ( 21 wt%) makes it a preferred choice for moisture removal in a variety of industrial processes, preserving product quality and extending equipment lifespan.
Versatile Industrial ApplicationsThis molecular sieve is extensively used in industries for drying and purifying air, refrigerants, natural gas, and various solvents. Its uniform bead size and high mechanical strength ensure consistent results and minimal dust generation, making it suitable for both large-scale processing facilities and smaller operational setups.
Reliable Quality and PackagingManufactured in India to stringent quality standards, the 4A molecular sieve is offered in easy-to-handle 25 kg bags or drums. Its shelf life extends up to two years when stored in airtight conditions, guaranteeing dependable performance and ease of storage for exporters, manufacturers, suppliers, and traders alike.
FAQs of 4a molecular sieve:
Q: How is the 4A molecular sieve typically used in industrial applications?
A: The 4A molecular sieve is widely used for drying and purifying gases and liquids in sectors such as petrochemicals, air separation, refrigeration, and natural gas processing. It effectively removes water vapor, ensuring product quality and protecting sensitive equipment from moisture-related damage.
Q: What is the regeneration process for 4A molecular sieve beads?
A: Regeneration of 4A molecular sieve is achieved by heating it to a temperature between 200 and 300C. This process desorbs the accumulated water, restoring the sieves adsorption capacity for reuse in subsequent cycles.
Q: When should the 4A molecular sieve be replaced or regenerated?
A: The 4A molecular sieve needs regeneration when its adsorption capacity declines, typically indicated by breakthrough of moisture. If regeneration does not restore performance, replacement is advised. Regular monitoring in continuous operations will help determine optimal intervals.
Q: Where can the 4A molecular sieve be stored to maintain shelf life?
A: To maintain its two-year shelf life, the 4A molecular sieve should be stored in airtight containers placed in dry environments, away from moisture and contaminants. Proper storage prevents premature loss of adsorption capacity.
Q: What are the benefits of using 4A molecular sieves in moisture-sensitive processes?
A: Using 4A molecular sieves ensures reliable and efficient water removal, which helps maintain the purity of final products, safeguards equipment from corrosion or freezing, and boosts overall operational efficiency in moisture-sensitive processes.
Q: How does the molecular sieves pore size impact its adsorption capabilities?
A: With a pore size of 4 angstroms (0.4 nm), the 4A molecular sieve selectively adsorbs water molecules while excluding larger molecules, making it ideal for targeted dehydration tasks without affecting other compounds present in the process stream.
