13X Molecular Sieve has a pore size of roughly 10A. This is considerably larger than any of the A type openings. This desiccant is used primarily for refinements of liquid and gases because it offers synchronized absorption for bi-molecule and tri-molecule. It can co-adsorb CO2 and H2O, H2O and H2S. 13X Mole sieve also has applications as a desiccant for medical and compressor uses and as a c catalyze carrier.
Applications:
It has become one of the most reliable desiccants for a variety of applications including:
Type 13X is used commercially for general gas drying, air plant feed purification (simultaneous removal of H20 and CO2) and liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas sweetening (H2S and mercapstan removal). All molecules which can be adsorbed on molecular sieves 3A, 4A and 5A can be adsorbed on Type 13X. In addition, Type 13X can adsorb molecules of larger critical diameters, such as aromatics and branched-chain hydrocarbons. Removal of grease and solvents.
