MOLECULAR SIEVE

Zeolite molecular sieves have the structure and characteristics of crystals,  the surface is a solid skeleton, and the internal holes have the function of adsorbing molecules. There are pores connected, and molecules pass through the pore’s channels. Due to the crystalline nature of the pores, the pore size distribution of molecular sieves is very uniform. Molecular sieves according to the size of the holes in their crystal selectively adsorb molecules, that is, they adsorb molecules of a certain size and repel molecules of large substances, so they are figuratively called “molecular sieves.”

The function of molecular sieve adsorption or repulsion is affected by the polarity of the molecule. Synthetic zeolite has the special function of selective adsorption according to the size and polarity of the molecule so that gases or liquids can be dried or purified, which is the basis for the separation of molecular sieves. Synthetic zeolite can meet the extensive needs of the industry for adsorption and selection of characteristic products, and it is also widely used in industrial separation.

MOLECULAR SIEVE HOW IT WORKS!

What is a molecular sieve used for?

how do molecular sieve work

Molecular sieves are used for drying gases and liquids and for separating molecules on the basis of their sizes and shapes.

When two molecules are equally small and can enter the pores, separation is based on the polarity (charge separation) of the molecule, the more polar molecule being preferentially adsorbed.

What is molecular sieving?

Molecular sieves are materials with pore sizes of molecular dimensions within which, ignoring surface effects, selectivity is a function of molecular size, with smaller molecular species having higher diffusion rates.

In molecular sieve studies, permeate molecules are commonly known as “guest” molecules.

Are molecular sieves toxic?

molecular sieve

However molecular sieve is not toxic. Molecular sieve is hygroscopic which means that when accidentally beeing consumed/swallowed the product will attract moisture from the surroundings i.e. the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Molecular sieves are not considered to be persistent, bioaccumulating nor toxic (PBT).

How do molecular sieves remove water?

Molecular sieves are in the family of desiccants, also known as adsorbents, used for hydrocarbon drying, described as the removal of dissolved water from hydrocarbon gases and liquids. Refineries use molecular sieves dryers for many dissolved water removal applications.

What are the disadvantages of molecular sieves?

3a 4a 5a 13x molecular sieve 1

Costs – molecular sieves are often more expensive than other techniques in the purchase price.
Fragile – molecular sieves can break which can result in particles that can get into a process.
Selective – not always applicable after removal of various molecules.

How many times can molecular sieves be reused?

Once regenerated, allow material to cool for at least an hour before handing or placing in storage.

You can reuse molecular sieve multiple times as long as proper regeneration steps are followed. Repeat when necessary!

How do I choose a molecular sieve?

3a molecular sieve adsobtion

The selectivity of a molecular sieve is determined by its pore size, molecules with a critical diameter which is less than the pore size will be efficiently adsorbed while larger molecules will be excluded. 

How do you test a molecular sieve?

Molecular sieve quality control
When we suspected that the molecular sieve needs replacement, there is a simple test
if you don’t know that your sample of molecular sieve is good or bad, there is a sample test that you can do to know that:
first, you should look at it. If there is a dust, large percentage of broken pellets or changing in color, the sample should be replace.
After that (if don’t) you can:
  1. pour an amount (volume) of water in glass (e.g. 10 ml).
  2. place thermometer in it and record the temperature.
  3. The same amount or few more (pour in cylinder to 12 ml of molecular sieve).
  4. pour it on the water glass.
  5. Observe the increase in temperature of the mixture.
  6. Record the highest degree of temperature.
  7. If the difference is more than 10°C, the molecular sieve is in satisfactory condition.
Activation:
we can activate molecular sieve by putting it in an oven at (300)°C for two hours. After that place the molecular sieve in room temperature and allow it to cool down over night in dried and clean chamber packed with nitrogen or argon.

How to choose molecular sieves?

To choose a molecular sieve, consider the specific application, the type of molecules to be separated, the desired purity level, and the operating conditions.

Different molecular sieve types have varying pore sizes and adsorption properties, so selecting the appropriate type is crucial for optimal performance.
