Learn Zeolite Molecular Sieve 13X
Molecular Sieve 13X is a highly effective adsorbent belonging to the alkali aluminosilicate family. Its sodium form boasts a well-defined type X crystal structure with an exceptionally large pore opening of 9 angstroms (0.9 nm). This unique size selectivity allows it to efficiently adsorb a wide range of molecules smaller than its pores, making it ideal for diverse applications requiring gas separation, purification, and drying.
