China PSA Oxygen Generator 13X Molecular Sieve Supplier, Quotes

Molecular Sieve 13X is the sodium form of the type X crystal and has a much larger pore opening than the type A crystals. It will adsorb molecules with a kinetic diameter of less than 9 Angstrom (0.9 nm) and exclude those larger. It also has the highest theoretical capacity of the common adsorbents and very good mass transfer rates. It can remove impurities too large to fit into a type A crystal and is commonly used to separate nitrogen from oxygen.

Application of 13X Type Molecular Sieve

Removal of CO2 and moisture from air (air pre-purification) and other gases.

Separation of enriched oxygen from air.

Removal of mercaptans and hydrogen sulphide from natural gas.

Removal of mercaptans and hydrogen sulphide from hydrocarbon liquid streams (LPG, butane, propane etc.)

Catalyst protection, removal of oxygenates from hydrocarbons (olefin streams).

Production of bulk oxygen in PSA units.

Production of medical oxygen in small scale oxygen concentrators.

Regeneration of 13X Type Molecular Sieve

Molecular sieve Type 13X can be regenerated by either heating in the case of thermal swing processes; or by lowering the pressure in the case of pressure swing processes.

To remove moisture from a 13X molecular sieve, a temperature of 250-300°C is required.

A properly regenerated molecular sieve can give moisture dew points below -100°C, or mercaptan or CO2 levels below 2 ppm.

The outlet concentrations on a pressure swing process will depend on the gas present, and on the conditions of the process.

Size Specifications

13X - Zeolites are available in beads of 1-2 mm(10x18 mesh), 2-3 mm(8x12 mesh), 2.5-5 mm(4x8 mesh) and as powder, and in pellet 1.6mm, 3.2mm.

Important Attention

To avoid damp and pre-adsorption of organic before running, or must to be reactivated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the pore diameter and base chemistry of 13X Molecular Sieve?

13X Type Molecular Sieve has a nominal pore diameter of 10 angstroms and a typical chemical formula of Na2O · Al2O3 · (2.8 ± 0.2) SiO2 · (6~7)H2O with a SiO2:Al2O3 ratio of approximately 2.6-3.0.

What available shapes and sizes are offered?

It is available in sphere/beads (1.7-2.5 mm, 3.0-5.0 mm, 1-2 mm, 2-3 mm, 2.5-5 mm), pellets (1.6 mm, 3.2 mm), and as powder.

How is 13X Molecular Sieve regenerated?

It can be regenerated by thermal swing processes (requiring a temperature of 250-300°C to remove moisture) or by pressure swing processes (by reducing pressure).

What performance levels can be achieved after proper regeneration?

A properly regenerated molecular sieve can provide moisture dew points below -100°C, and achieve mercaptan or CO2 residual levels below 2 ppm.

What are the standard packaging and minimum order quantities (MOQ)?

Standard packaging options include carton boxes, carton drums, and steel drums. The minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 1 Metric Ton, with sample orders under 5 kg available from stock.

What precautions should be taken before running the molecular sieve?

It must be kept protected from dampness and pre-adsorption of organic substances prior to system operation, otherwise it must be reactivated prior to service.
