Molecular Sieves 13X Properties
What is Molecular Sieves 13X ?

 

13X molecular sieve is a synthetic material with high crystallinity, Si/Al ratio, and stability. Its crystal structure is composed of silicate mineral crystals, in which the content ratio of silicon and aluminum is 13:1, so it is called a 13X molecular sieve. This material is widely used in industry and has the following characteristics:

High crystallinity: 13X molecular sieves have a highly ordered crystal structure consisting of silico-oxygen tetrahedrons and alumino-oxygen tetrahedrons, which can separate and purify different molecules in gases and liquids through ion exchange and molecular adsorption.

High Si-aluminum ratio: The 13X molecular sieve has a high Si-aluminum ratio, which means that its pore size and pore volume are large and can adsorb and separate larger diameter molecules.

High stability: 13X molecular sieve has high stability and high-temperature resistance, can be used in high temperature, high pressure, and high acid environments, and is not easy to destroy.

Renewable: 13X molecular sieves can be regenerated and reused by ion exchange and heat treatment, making them more economical and environmentally friendly for industrial applications.

Applications of Molecular Sieves 13X:

Gas separation: A 13X molecular sieve has a large pore size and pore volume, which can adsorb and separate gas molecules of different diameters. In industry, a 13X molecular sieve is widely used to separate and purify oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and other gases. For example, in the oxygen industry, 13X molecular sieves can effectively separate oxygen and nitrogen from the air to obtain high-purity oxygen.

Liquid separation: A 13X molecular sieve can be used for the separation and purification of liquids, such as alcohol, ketone, ester, and aromatic compounds separation and purification. A 13X molecular sieve can effectively separate and purify compounds of different molecular sizes by selecting the appropriate operating conditions. In addition, in the petrochemical field, 13X molecular sieves can be used in petroleum cracking and hydrogenation reactions to improve the quality and purity of petroleum products. Catalyst: 13X molecular sieve can be used as a catalyst for many chemical reactions, such as alkylation, isomerization, and hydrogenation reactions. Because 13X molecular sieve has the characteristics of high crystallinity and high stability, it has a wide application prospect in the field of catalysts. For example, in producing lubricating oil, a 13X molecular sieve can be used as a catalyst to accelerate the hydrofining process of lubricating oil, improving the quality and stability of lubricating oil.

Desiccant: 13X molecular sieve can be used as a desiccant in many fields, such as aerospace, electronics, pharmaceuticals, etc. Because the 13X molecular sieve has a high silicon-aluminum ratio and high stability, it can effectively adsorb, remove moisture, and keep the working environment dry and stable. For example, in the pharmaceutical and electronics fields, 13X molecular sieves can be employed as a desiccant that can eliminate moisture from the manufacturing process, increasing the stability and quality of the final product.

Other fields:13X molecular sieves can also be used in other fields. For example, in environmental protection, a 13X molecular sieve can be used to remove harmful gases and VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the air, protecting the environment and human health. In addition, a 13X molecular sieve can also be used as a carrier material for drug carriers, sensors, catalysts, and other fields.


Production Method of Molecular Sieves 13X:

Silica-aluminum exchange method: This method is prepared by the reaction of sodium silicate and aluminum hydroxide, and then specific additives adjust the pH value temperature and other parameters through crystallization, filtration, drying, and other steps. The product obtained by this method has certain purity and performance, but the production cost is high, and more additives are needed.

Synthesis method: The method is by the reaction of sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide, sodium aluminate, and other additives, adjusting the pH value and temperature and other parameters through crystallization, filtration, drying, and other steps prepared. The product obtained by this method has higher purity and performance, but the production cost is higher, and more additives are needed.

Natural mineral method: This method is prepared by purifying, crushing, high-temperature roasting, and raw mineral materials such as natural diatomite. The advantages of this method are that the raw materials are easy to obtain, the production cost is low, and the obtained products have the advantages of natural mineral structure. However, the purity and performance of the product are limited by the quality of raw materials, and it is not easy to get high-performance products.

Composite molecular sieve method: This method prepares a composite molecular sieve with specific structures and properties by reacting sodium silicaluminate and different additives. The product obtained by this method has better adsorption and ion exchange properties, but the production cost is high, and the technology is difficult.

Solid acid method: This method is relatively new for preparing a 13X molecular sieve. It is based on solid acid as a catalyst, the precursor containing a specific structure is synthesized in liquid or gas phase, and a 13X molecular sieve is prepared. The advantages of this method are mild reaction conditions, simple operation, high purity of the product, and low production cost. It should be noted that the production process of 13X molecular sieves is more complex, and the production conditions and process parameters need to be strictly controlled. For example, the ratio of silicon source and aluminum source, reaction temperature and pH value, crystallization time, and temperature are controlled to ensure the quality and performance of the product. In addition, it is necessary to carry out effective post-treatment steps, such as washing, drying, roasting, etc., to remove impurities and excess additives and improve the purity and stability of the product.

To improve the production efficiency and product quality of 13X molecular sieves, it is also necessary to carry out effective quality control. For example, the structure and performance of the product can be detected and characterized utilizing X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, NMR, etc., to ensure that the quality and performance of the product meet the requirements. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen environmental monitoring and waste treatment in the production process, promote environmental protection production methods, and reduce environmental pollution.
