SHANLI 5A molecular sieve
Molecular sieve 5A also known as molecular sieve calcium with an aperture of about 5 angstroms(0.48nm),it can absorb any molecular with pore size less than 5A,except the 3A and 4A function,it also can absorb C3-C4 normal alkane,ethyl chlorine,ethyl bromide,butyl alcohol.
It is also used for separation of n-iso hydrocarbon,pressure swing adsorption(PSA) and CO adsorption of carbon dioxide and water.

FAQ
What’s the difference between molecular sieves, activated alumina, and silica gel?
- Selectivity: Molecular sieves have precise pore sizes; silica gel/alumina have broader distributions.
- Humidity performance: Molecular sieves outperform at low humidity.
- Heat resistance: Sieves withstand >350°C; silica gel degrades above 200°C.
How to regenerate molecular sieves?
- Thermal regeneration: 200–350°C under dry gas (e.g., N₂) for 2–4 hours.
- Pressure swing (PSA): Releases adsorbates via pressure changes.
- Caution: Avoid steam exposure at high temperatures to prevent structural damage.
What is the lifespan of a molecular sieve?
- Typically 2–5 years, depending on conditions (temperature, contaminants, regeneration cycles). Performance decline shows as reduced adsorption or increased pressure drop.
