Overview

5A molecular sieves are A-type zeolites with a ~5Å effective pore opening, widely used for selective adsorption and drying. Modification adjusts adsorption selectivity and capacity for the target gas or liquid system.

Key Features

  • Selective adsorption of polar and small molecules
  • Good drying depth for gas streams
  • Customizable modification to the target medium

Typical Applications

  • Natural gas drying
  • Chemical gas drying
  • Refrigerants
  • Pharmaceutical gases
  • Electronic materials
  • Argon purification
  • Gas separation

Customization

Modification is adjusted according to the target medium, concentration, humidity and adsorption/regeneration cycle.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which molecules does 5A selectively adsorb?

Typical adsorbates include water, methanol, ethanol, H₂S, SO₂, CO₂, ethylene and propylene. Selectivity is tuned by modification.

What regeneration conditions apply?

5A is typically regenerated thermally at elevated temperature with a purge or a pressure swing, depending on the service. The exact cycle is set according to the adsorbed medium and the required outlet dew point.

What forms are available?

The sieve is supplied in the form that best matches the adsorption bed, customized to the target medium and operating conditions. Share your gas composition and the bed configuration and we will propose a suitable shape and bead size.
