Potasit

Usage

  • for drying unsaturated hydrocarbons in gaseous or liquid phase (ethylene, propylene, butadiene, acetylene)
  • for drying alcohols (methanol, ethanol)
  • for removal of CO from the air, in production of N2 and O2
  • for drying polar liquids with a small molecular diameter
  • as a drying agent into double or triple glazing of windows

General characteristics

Potasit is a synthetic type 3A zeolite with pores size 0.3 nm. Molecular sieves are crystalline aluminosilicates of alkali metals or alkaline earth metals. They have a 3-D crystal lattice with tetrahedrons SiO4 and AlO4 as its basic components, arranged to create a regularly alternating cavities. Dimensions of intra-crystalline cavities and entering pores into cavities are characteristic for the individual types of molecular sieves. Molecular sieves are free of toxic documents.

Potasit has 50 – 60% of sodium ions replaced by the potassium ions. Its chemical composition in dehydrated state expresses the formula K2O. Na2O . Al2O3 . 2 SiO2.
