Buy Zeolite 3A (Molecular Sieve 3A) in Bulk
Do you want to buy bulk molecular sieves 3A for your industrial needs? Our zeolite 3A is designed for moisture removal and gas purification, making it ideal for applications such as drying solvents, insulating glass production, and petrochemical processing. ActivatedChem is a reliable supplier that offers bulk molecular 3A at competitive prices while ensuring fast and safe delivery and consistent quality.
What is Molecular Sieve 3A?
Molecular Sieve 3A is a synthetic zeolite with pores of approximately 3 angstroms in diameter. These delicate pores enable it to adsorb small molecules selectively. Zeolites - the precursors of Molecular Sieve 3A - were discovered by a Swedish chemist, Axel Fredrik Cronstedt, in 1756. They have been used in a variety of industrial applications ever since.
Are Molecular Sieve 3A and Zeolite 3A the Same Thing?
Yes, in general, these two cases are similar and have one minor difference that we will mention:
- Zeolite 3A refers to the chemical composition of the material. It is a synthetic aluminosilicate with a pore size of 3 angstroms, which allows it to adsorb molecules smaller than this size.
- Molecular Sieve 3A is the trade name used in industrial applications where zeolite is made into various forms, such as granules, pellets, or powder, for use in drying, purification, and separation processes.
Applications
What are the Main Applications of Molecular Sieve 3A?
The main uses of the molecular 3A are:
| Industry | Application |
|---|---|
| Petrochemical & Gas | Drying of natural gas, LPG, and cracked gas |
| Solvent Drying | Removes moisture from ethanol, methanol, and other solvents |
| Insulating Glass | Prevents moisture buildup and fogging in double-glazed windows |
| Chemical Processing | Dehydration of chemical feedstocks and intermediates |
| Pharmaceuticals | Removes moisture from drug formulations and packaging |
| Refrigeration | Drying of refrigerants to prevent ice formation |
| Aerospace & Electronics | Protects sensitive components from humidity damage |
What is the Difference Between 3A, 4A, 5A, and 13X Molecular Sieves?
Below is a table summarizing the key differences between 3A, 4A, 5A, and 13X molecular sieves:
| Molecular Sieve | Approximate Pore Size | Common Applications | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3A | ~3 Ã… | Drying of gases and liquids; separation of wter from alcohols | Calcium-exchanged form of zeolite A; excludes molecules larger than ~3 Ã… |
| 4A | ~4 Ã… | Air and solvent drying; dehydration processes | Sodium form of zeolite A; widely used for removing water while allowing small polar molecules |
| 5A | ~5 Ã… | Hydrocarbon separation; purification processes | Potassium-exchanged form of zeolite A; suitable for adsorbing slightly larger molecules compared to 4A |
| 13X | ~10–13 Å | Gas separation; CO₂ removal; purification of heavy hydrocarbons | Type X zeolite with a larger pore size, allowing adsorption of larger molecules |
