3A Molecular
Sieve
Introduction
The pore size of 3A molecular sieve is 3 Å . It
does not adsorb any molecular larger than 3 Å. It is an alkali
metal alumino-silicate, the potassium form of the typ A crystal
structure. 3 Angstrom, is obtained when part of the sodium ions
of the 4 Angstrom sieve are replaced by potassium ions.
Will adsorb, in sequence of adsorption rate, helium, neon, nitrogen and water.
According to the industrial application specialties, we endue
our products with the characters of higher adsorption speed,
stronger crushing and anti-contaminative resistance, more cyclic
times and longer work-span. All these advantage have made it
come to be the most essential and necessary desiccant in the
fields of the deep drying, refinery, polymerization for cracked
gases, ethylene, propylene and any other non-acidic gases or
liquids in petroleum and chemical industrials.
Application
Molecular Sieve 3A is mainly used to remove
moisture and can be applied to liquefied and gaseous materials
on the whole. The main uses are as follows.
1) Drying of refrigerants (e.g. R22, R134a etc)
2) Removing moisture in paint and PU Plastic
3) Drying of natural gas
4) Cracked Gas Drying.
5) Static dehydration of insulating glass units, whether air
filled or gas-filled.
6) Drying of highly polar compounds, such as methanol and
ethanol.
7) Drying of unsaturated hydrocarbons (e.g. ethylene, propylene,
butadien).
8) Drying of olefins drying, ethanol, etc.
9)Dehydration of many kinds of liquids (say ethanol) air,
refrigerant , natural gas or methane , cracked gas, ethylene,
ethyne, propylene or butadiene .

Regeneration
Molecular Sieve 3A can be revived for reuse
and the required factors for revival are temperature and
pressure. To remove the adsorbed moisture and other
materials, the revival condition shall be set up considering
the features of target material and processing environment.
The general revival temperature of Molecular Sieve 3A is
about 250℃ and it should not surpass 300℃ at maximum.
