K12[(AlO2)12(SiO2)12] • X H2O UOP Molecular Sieve Type 3A, the potassium form of the Type A Crystal structure, is an alkali metal alumino-silicate. Available in powder and pellets for commercial dehydration of unsaturated hydrocarbon streams such as cracked gas, propylene, butadiene and acetylene. Type 3A is also used for drying polar liquids such as methanol and ethanol.
Na12[(AI02)12(Si02)12] • X H2O UOP Molecular Sieve Type 4A, the sodium form of the Type A crystal structure, is an alkali metal alumino-silicate. Available in powder, pellets, mesh and beads for static dehydration in a closed gas or liquid system. Used in packaging of drugs, electronic components, and perishable chemicals; and as a water scavenger in paint and plastic systems. Type 4A is also used commercially in drying saturated hydrocarbon streams.
Ca4,5Na3[(AlO2)12(SiO2)12] • X H2O UOP Molecular Sieve Type 5A, the calcium form of the Type A crystal structure, is an alkali metal alumino-silicate. Available in powder and pellets for separating normal paraffins from branched-chain and cyclic hydrocarbons through a selective adsorption process.
NaZ[(AlO2)x(SiO2)Y] • 24H2O UOP Molecular Sieve Type AW-300 is a crystalline metal alumino-silicate available in pellet form. These acid-resistant zeolites were developed by UOP to dry and purify process streams containing strong acid contaminates such as hydrogen chloride, sulfur dioxide and the oxides of nitrogen. Their adsorption properties are typical of those found in other UOP Molecular Sieve products.
CaZ[(AlO2)x(SiO2)Y] • 13H2O UOP Molecular Sieve Type AW-500 is a crystalline metal alumino- silicate available in pellet form. These acid-resistant zeolites were developed by UOP to dry and purify process streams containing strong acid contaminates such as hydrogen chloride, sulfur dioxide and the oxides of nitrogen. Their adsorption properties are typical of those found in other UOP Molecular Sieve products.
Na86[(AlO2)86(SiO2)106] • X H2O UOP Molecular Sieve Type 13X, the sodium form of the Type X crystal structure, is an alkali metal alumino-silicate. Available in powder, pellets and beads. Used commercially for general gas drying; air plant feed purification (simultaneous removal of H2O and CO2); and liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas sweetening (H2S and mercaptan removal). The 13X can adsorb both the moisture and polymerization by-products such as acetaldehyde and ethylene glycol. It’s exceptional product strength makes it ...
