Molecular Sieve 3A

Type3AComposition0.6 K2O: 0.40 Na2O : 1 Al2O3 : 2.0 ±DescriptionThe 3A form is made by substituting potassium cations for the inherent sodium ions of the 4A structure, reducing the effective pore size to 3ÅMajor ApplicationsCommercial dehydration of unsaturated hydrocarbon streams, including cracked gas, propylene, butadiene, acetylene; drying polar liquids such as methanol and ethanol. Adsorption of molecules such as NH3 and H2O from a N2/H2 flow. Considered a general-purpose drying agent in polar and nonpolar media.
