Zeolite, natural or synthetic or similar materials whose atoms are arranged in a crystal lattice in such a way that there are a large number of small cavities interconnected by smaller openings or pores of precisely uniform size. Used as drying agents for some liquids or gases as well as for other absorptive applications. May be regenerated for extended use under specified conditions.
A material that contains many small cavities interconnected with pores of precisely uniform size. Zeolites are an example. Molecular sieves adsorb molecules that are small enough to pass through their pore systems- especially water. They are often used as drying agents, and to separate large molecules from smaller ones in preparatory work and in exclusion chromatography.
a kind of alkali aluminosilicate, able to adsorb molecules with their critical diamete
a material containing tiny pores of a precise and uniform size that is used as a filter
a material with selective adsorption properties capable of separating components of a mixture on the basis of a difference in molecular size and shape
a synthetically reconstituted alumina silicate which is generated and processed under stringent conditions to establish exact pore dimensions within the lattice of the molecules crystalline structure
A crystaline, porous, molecular structure that selectively adsorbs or rejects molecules based on differences in molecular size or shape. Engelhard uses zeolites, one class of molecular sieves, in desiccant, catalyst and separation technologies.
Oxyvital's patented technology uses Zeolites as a "molecular sieve" to dismantle dangerous pollutants and render them harmless.
A material with pores capable of separating molecules on the basis of size.
Molecular sieves are granular solids that can selectively remove molecules of a certain size range from a gas stream. For example, water can be removed from natural gas by passing the gas through a vertical vessel that is partially filled with the proper molecular sieve.
A molecular sieve is a material containing tiny pores of a precise and uniform size that is used as an absorbent for gases and liquids.
