13X Molecular Sieve

13X Molecular sieve is a sodium form of type X crystal and has a larger pore opening than type 4A molecular sieve. 13X adsorbs molecules with a kinetic diameter of less than 9 Angstrom (0.9nm) and excludes larger molecules.

3A Molecular Sieve Typical Chemical Formula

• Silicon Dioxide: < 60 %
• Aluminum Oxide: < 40 %
• Sodium Oxide: < 20 %
• Magnesium Oxide: < 5 %

3A Molecular Sieve Applications

• Oxygen generators: medical or bulk Oxygen production
• 13X molecualr sieve traps CO2 and moisture
• Compressed air drying

13X Molecular Sieve Regeneration

13X Molecular Sieve is regenerated by purge air in desiccant air dryers. Purge air temperature must be atleast 250°C - 300°C to regenerate the sieve. 13X molecular sieve can maintain dewpoints below -100°F.
