Zeolite molecular sieve product introduction and application
Zeolite molecular sieve is a kind of natural or synthetic inorganic crystalline material with regular microstructure and unique properties. Because of its unique pore size and acidic active centre, zeolite molecular sieve has important application value in many industrial fields.
I. Product characteristics of zeolite molecular sieve
1. Regular pore size and structure: zeolite molecular sieve has highly ordered crystal structure, which makes it has regular pore size and good adsorption performance. These pore sizes are usually less than 10Å, which can adsorb and separate molecules smaller than this size.
2. Good thermal and hydrothermal stability: zeolite molecular sieves have good stability under high temperature and high humidity conditions, which makes it have excellent performance in many chemical reactions and adsorption processes.
3. Easy functionalization: the surface of zeolite molecular sieve can be functionalized by ion exchange or organic groups to change its physical and chemical properties to suit different applications.
4. High specific surface area: zeolite molecular sieve has a large specific surface area, which makes it has a high adsorption capacity and fast adsorption speed.
Application of zeolite molecular sieve
1. Catalyst and catalyst carrier: zeolite molecular sieve shows excellent performance as catalyst and catalyst carrier in many chemical reactions. For example, it shows excellent selectivity in the separation of hexane and isobutane.
2. Gas separation and purification: Because zeolite molecular sieve has regular pore size and high adsorption performance, it is widely used in the field of gas separation and purification. For example, it can be used for the separation of nitrogen and oxygen in air, and for the purification of natural gas and petroleum gas.
3. Liquid separation and purification: zeolite molecular sieve can be used for liquid separation and purification, such as for the separation of water and organic solvents.
4. Catalyst and adsorbent: zeolite molecular sieves can be used as catalysts and adsorbents in many chemical processes, such as for the production of high-purity chemicals and the removal of harmful substances in the environment.
5. Environmental protection field: zeolite molecular sieve can be used to treat the harmful substances in wastewater, exhaust gas and soil, for example, to remove heavy metal ions and organic pollutants.
6. Energy field: zeolite molecular sieves also have a wide range of applications in the field of energy, such as used in fuel cells and solar cells, as well as for hydrogen storage materials.
