Molecular Sieve

3A molecular sieve is mainly used for adsorbing water and cannot remove molecules with a diameter bigger than 3A. The molecular sieve adsorbent is known for fast adsorption speed, recycle usage, high crushing strength, anti-contamination, long service life and high efficiency. A wide application of the molecular sieve is found in petroleum industry and chemical industry for deep drying, refining and polymerizing gases and liquids.
