3A molecular sieve adsorbents is a potassium-sodium type aluminosilicate, it is exchanged with K﹢for the Na+ of 4A molecular sieve to form a pore diameter of 3Å molecular sieve, this kind of molecular sieve 3A is mainly used to adsorb H2O water and not adsorb any molecule with a diameter larger than 3Å. According to the characteristics of 3A molecular sieve’s industrial applications, the 3A molecular sieve adsorbents have faster adsorption speed, more regeneration times, higher anti-crushing strength and anti-pollution ability, which improves the utilization efficiency of molecular sieve and prolongs the service lifetime of molecular sieve, it’s the preferred desiccant necessary for deep drying, refining and polymerization of gas and liquid in the petroleum and chemical industries.
