Sorbchem India's 5A Molecular Sieve is a premium-quality adsorbent that operates on the principle of adsorption, attracting molecules from gas or liquid streams to its exposed surface area. This calcium form of alkali alumina silicate has an effective pore diameter of 5A°, allowing it to adsorb all molecules with a kinetic diameter of fewer than 5 angstroms while excluding those larger.
The adsorption process of the 5A Molecular Sieve involves both chemisorption and capillary condensation, making it a highly effective adsorbent with a large contact surface and porosity. This unique property allows the 5A Molecular Sieve to adsorb molecules that the 3A and 4A molecular sieves can also adsorb, making it the most suitable zeolite for Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology.
One of the key characteristics of the 5A Molecular Sieve is its ability to contribute to a larger surface area for better adsorption efficacy. This effectiveness is achieved by its necessary bulk density and suitable crushing power, which assist in reducing dusting within systems. The 5A Molecular Sieve is designed to provide high crushing strength, high adsorption capacity, low bulk density, low attrition loss, dust-free operation, and longer service life.
Molecular sieve 5A is an alkali aluminosilicate available in the form of Type A crystal structure with a pore size of 5 angstroms. These molecular sieves have the tendency to adsorb molecules with a pore size smaller than 3A and 4A, but they cannot adsorb molecules with a diameter greater than 5A. The 5A Molecular Sieve is available in the form of beads and pellets.
