Zeolite 3A Molecular Sieve

    Product Description

    Ball-tec Molecular Sieve type 3A is an alkali metal alumina-silicate; it is the potassium form of the type A crystal structure. Type 3A has an effective pore opening of about 3 angstroms (0.3nm).

    Typical Chemical Formula:

    0.4K2O. 0.6Na2O. Al2O3. 2SiO2. 4.5 H2O (SiO2: Al2O3 ≈2)

    Typical Application:

    • Dehydration of unsaturated hydrocarbons (e.g. ethylene, propylene, butadiene).

    • Cracked Gas Dehydration.

    • Dehydration of natural gas, if COS minimization is essential, or a minimum co-adsorption of hydrocarbons is required.

    • Dehydration of highly polar compounds, such as methanol and ethanol Dehydration of liquid alcohol.

    • Static, (non-regenerative) dehydration of insulating glass units, whether air filled or gas-filled.

    • Dehydration of CNG.
