Zeolite Molecular Sieves
Modified 13X Molecular Sieve
Sodium X-type (13X) molecular sieve with large pore structure and strong adsorption capacity, available with different modification systems for specific applications.
Overview
13X is a sodium X-type zeolite whose ~10Å pore structure adsorbs larger molecules than A-type sieves, giving it strong capacity for drying and for adsorbing CO₂, H₂S and other species. Modification systems are selected per application.
Key Features

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 13X and 5A?
13X has a larger pore structure (~10Å vs ~5Å), so it can adsorb larger molecules and generally offers higher capacity for CO₂ and water, while 5A gives sharper size selectivity.
Why is 13X applied to CO2 adsorption?
The large pore structure and strong adsorption capacity of 13X make it suitable for CO2 removal from gas streams, which is one of its documented applications.
How does moisture affect the sieve?
Like all zeolites, 13X adsorbs water strongly, so moisture competes with the target adsorbate. Drying duties therefore include a regeneration stage, and the operating cycle accounts for inlet humidity.
What does the modification system do?
Different modification systems tailor the sieve to specific targets, such as improved selectivity or compatibility with particular gas compositions. The modification is selected once the service conditions are defined.
