General description

Molecular Sieve, Type 4A is an alkali metal aluminosilicate with a type 4A structure. It is used in the adsorption process to selectively adsorb molecules with an effective diameter <4Å and excludes molecules with an effective diameter >4Å.

Application

Molecular Sieve, Type 4A can be used:
  • In regenerable drying systems to remove water vapor or contaminants.
  • In drying saturated hydrocarbon streams and natural gas drying.
  • To remove traces of water from various solvents (methanol, ethanol, acetone, DMSO, 1-butanol, 1-hexanol, and 1-octanol).
  • In refrigerant drying.
