Molecular Sieves Type 5A

Noble Molecular Sieves Type 5A is synthetic crystalline Molecular Sieves having five- dimensional potassium alumino-silicate frameworks with interconnected cavities. Access to these cavities is through pores of uniform diameter of 5Ao (angstroms).

Molecular sieves may be represented by the empirical formula – M2/nO.Al2O3 X SiO2.yH2O where M is the alkali metal (Calcium / sodium) cation with a valence `n’. The water of hydration can be reversibly driven off without any collapse of the crystal structure and can be replaced by molecules of other adsorbents.

Noble Molecular Sieves 5A mainly used for adsorption of H2O, Co2 and H2S unsaturated hydrocarbons in both thermal & Pressure Swing Adsorption systems like Nitrogen Generation by purification of flue gases (simultaneously removal of water and Co2).  Molecular Sieves 5A offer matchless performance in pressure swing adsorption (PSA) system of the inert gas generator.

Co2 removal from natural and associated gas, here 5A provide faster rates and higher capacities. Recycle gas sweetening (simultaneous removal of H2S and lower mercaptans) of natural gas and liquid hydrocarbons.

Molecular Sieves Spherical Beads is having higher surface area for better adsorption with great crushing strength for reducing the dusting in the system.

Noble Molecular Sieves Type 5A is available in Cylindrical Pellets (1.5mm and 3.0 mm) & Spheres Form (1.6 x 2.5 mm & 2.0 x 4.0 mm)
