Regeneration: Type 3A molecular sieve can be regenerated for re-use by purging or evacuating at elevated temperatures. The degree of regeneration (water removal) is dependent on the temperature and humidity of the purge gas. Handling and Storage: Product must be stored in a dry location (relative humidity < 90%) to prevent re-adsorption of water. Opened packages should be resealed to prevent contamination of the product. Whenever possible, rotate stock to use oldest material first.
Application: 3A Molecular Sieve is used for commercial dehydration of unsaturated hydrocarbon streams such as cracked gas, acetylene, propylene, and butadiene. It is also used for dehydration of alcohol and solvents. |
