Key Considerations for Molecular Sieve Procurement

Molecular sieves are widely used in gas drying and solvent purification due to their precise selective adsorption properties. To achieve the best cost-performance ratio, procurement should match product grade with specific application needs.


1. Define Adsorption Requirements

Industrial Gas Drying: For high-humidity gases such as compressed air, 4A molecular sieves are preferred. They offer water uptake above 20% and low regeneration temperature (200–300℃), ideal for continuous operation.

Special Gas Removal: For deep CO₂ removal in air separation units, 13X molecular sieves are recommended. Key parameters include crush strength (≥85 N/bead) and water adsorption capacity (≥26%). Advanced domestic products have further enhanced CO₂ capacity through pore optimization.

Low-Temperature Operations: Premium sieves maintain high efficiency below –20℃, suitable for LNG pretreatment.


2. Differentiate Industry Standards

Power Industry: Focus on dust resistance and thermal stability to reduce maintenance.

Chemical Industry: Emphasize acid resistance (stable at pH 2 for 24h) and selective adsorption to prevent catalyst poisoning.

Food & Pharmaceutical: Require certified products with heavy metal content <1 ppm to ensure safety.


3. Assess Supplier Capability

Large-scale factories (annual output >10,000 tons) ensure batch stability, while SMEs offer flexibility for custom grades. Technical strength can be measured by patent ownership and customer case studies.


4. Sample Testing

Request ≥500 g samples and conduct 72-hour tests under simulated conditions. Verify dynamic adsorption capacity at 2 m/s gas flow and 80% humidity; top domestic products should reach ≥90% of rated performance.
