Molecular Sieve 13X is made from zeolite powder 13X (>70%) and binder. Molecular sieve 13X is can adsorb aromatics and branched-chain hydrocarbons. Molecular sieve 13X is commonly used in removal of mercaptans, removal of CO2 in cryogenic air separation, etc
Molecular Sieve 13X is an alkali metal aluminosilicate; it is the sodium form of the type X crystal structure. It adsorbs molecules with effective diameters small than 10 angstrom (1 nm). it can remove molecules too large to fit into type A molecular siev
