5A

Desiccant 5A

Description:

TIHO Desiccant Molecular Sieve Type 5A is the calcium form of the Type A molecular sieve to adsorb molecules with critical diameters up to 5 angstroms.

Applications:

Type 5A is the Molecular Sieve adsorbent which made possible the separation of normal paraffin from branched-chain and cyclic hydrocarbons through a selective adsorption process. It is now used commercially in large-scale n-paraffin separation process.

Molecular Sieve Type 5A can be regenerated for re-use by heating with simultaneous purge or by evacuation.

CHEMICAL FORMULA:

Ca4.5Na3[(AlO2)12(SiO2)12]·xH2O
