Type 4A molecular sieve is a basic alumino silicate compound. This sodium version of the Type Crystal Structure features a pore size of approximately 4 angstroms. The 4A molecular sieve is designed to capture the majority of molecules with a kinetic diameter smaller than 4 angstroms, while rejecting those with a larger diameter. It can adsorb gas molecules such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and simple hydrocarbon chains.
Molecule 4A operates based on the concept of adsorption at the surface, providing an increased surface area for achieving greater absorption potential. The molecular sieve 4A possesses superior crushing strength and a reduced attrition rate, ensuring an extended operational duration for applications like methane adsorption.
Type 4A has reliable adsorption capacity, higher resistance quality, and stronger adsorption, which are enough to enhance product life. Such a type of molecular sieve is perfect for removing the moisture from liquids and gases.
Sorbchem India is the largest adsorbent and desiccant manufacturer, serving various industries. 4A molecular sieves can be available in the form of beads, pellets and powder form.
