Molecular sieves are crystalline metal aluminosilicates having a threedimensional interconnecting network of silica and alumina tetrahedra. Natural water of hydration is removed from this network by heating to produce uniform cavities which selectively adsorb molecules of a specific size. A 4 to 8-mesh sieve is normally used in gasphase applications, while the 8 to 12-mesh […]
