Activated Molecular Sieve Powder and Their Uses
by Gaurav Patel Chemicals IndustryMolecular Sieves:
Molecular sieves are the metal which are crystalline in nature and made up of aluminosilicates. They consist of a three dimensional network of silica and alumina tetrahedral which are further inter-connected to each other. By way of heating method, natural water of hydration is taken out with the help of the network in order to produce uniform cavities which carefully absorb the molecules of a particular size. Molecular sieves are one of the vital desiccants which are used in adsorbing water molecules present in the air. They are highly potential in removing water or moisture exists in the liquids or gases in several industries. Owing to the crystalline nature, it makes the sieves extremely effective for absorbing water and other natural impurities that are found in the gases and liquids. The convenient application procedure makes the process of molecular sieve easy to use. Because of the easy process, the molecular sieves are made in use in industries such as food industry, pharmaceuticals, natural gas, petrochemicals and so forth.
Especially in oil gas industry, the process of utilization of molecular sieves which is used in absorbing impurities, corrosion, moisture and so on has been highly appreciated worldwide. The gas and oil are required to be dehydrated and the molecular sieves are highly beneficial in dehydration process. Also, the easy access of desiccant used in various forms has increased the use of the sieves. Of all other forms, molecular sieve powder is reckoned to be the powerful desiccant agent is used in purifying and drying purposes. In addition, based on the size and polarity, the molecular sieve powder desiccant is potent enough in absorbing the molecules in an effective manner. At the time of removing the moisture from polyurethane polymer systems, the effectiveness of powder desiccant is observed. It also discharges elements in particular system. The powder is used in the coating industry as well as in adhesive and sealants process.
The other form of molecular sieve which is the activated molecular sieve powder is further synthetically dehydrated by way of rapid absorption and high dispensable method. It is mainly used for the process of adsorption. The activated powder molecular sieve type 3A is primarily used for drying, purifying and separating purposes in the gases and paint industry whose main objective is to make the powder in use as a powder coating. Keeping the fear of side effects at bay, the activated molecular sieve powder can also be used as desiccant in insulating glass industry.
Applications:
It is used in the process of dedication and purification.
Its uses depend on the required specification and purification.
It is extremely effective in excluding water from gases and liquid.
Molecular sieves are frequently used in the petroleum industry, especially for purifying the gas streams and in the chemistry laboratory for separating compounds.
