MOLECULAR SIEVES 3A X 1.5mm
Product code RXSOL-60-6604-992
MOLECULAR SIEVES 3A X 1.5mm
Description
The 3A refers to the size of the molecule it can absorb. In this case, less than 3 angstrom.
Molecular sieve 3A has an absorption capacity of 22% by weight. To dry a liquid, add a slight excess of drying agent.
Application
Application
Molecular sieves are used for drying gases and liquids and for separating molecules on the basis of their sizes and shapes. When two molecules are equally small and can enter the pores, separation is based on the polarity (charge separation) of the molecule, the more polar molecule being preferentially adsorbed.
