ABOUT MOLECULAR SIEVES
Molecular Sieves are amazing zeolite materials composed of precise and uniform structure and size which allows it to be used to preferentially adsorb gases and liquids based on molecular size.
Molecules that are larger than the size of the molecular sieve are not adsorbed while molecules smaller than the cage structure are adsorbed. For example during ethanol production distillation of ethanol can only achieve the level of 96% ethanol and 4% water. In order to break apart this azeotrope a molecular sieve is used to adsorb the water while the larger molecule of ethanol is excluded, resulting in fuel grade ethanol.
The size of the pores of the Type A and Type X Molecular Sieves are closely controlled during the manufacturing process. Sodium, Calcium, and Potassium are exchanged ions that regulate the size of the pore opening which allows for the precise adsorption of molecules based on size. Try to imagine a parking garage, the height of you vehicle is 7' however the roof of the garage is only 6'8". As hard as you may try, you are not going to get your vehicle into the garage. The same principal applies to different size molecules which will or will not fit into the molecular sieves based on their size. This precision allows scientists and engineers to design systems that can adsorb and hence separate on a molecular level.
Most of us never even consider many of these applications that make our everyday lives possible. From oxygen concentration for breathing, to air conditioning filter cores in our cars, molecular sieves touch our lives every day. Almost every imaginable product has been touched by molecular sieve in some way. From medical oxygen to steel production or insulated glass windows to fuel ethanol, which accounts for at least 10% of every gallon of gasoline consumed in the USA, we rely on molecular sieves to work for us on a molecular level to produce many of the products we rely on a daily basis.
Interra Global strives to supply the highest quality molecular sieve available in the market. We take this responsibly seriously and feel a great deal of obligation to help bring these products to our customers who require our unrelenting control of quality to make the products that make all of our lives better every day.
