FAQ
 

 

1.How is 4A molecular sieve been regenerated?
The adsorption capacity can be regenerated through thermal regeneration:
Conventional method: Introduce dry air or nitrogen at 250–350°C and heat for 4–6 hours;
Vacuum regeneration: Combining with vacuum (less than 10 kPa) at 150–250°C yields better results;
After regeneration, it needs to be quickly cooled and sealed for storage to prevent re-hydration.
Note: If contaminated by oil stains or organic solvents, it may cause permanent deactivation and be difficult to fully regenerate.

 

2.Can 4A molecular sieves adsorb carbon dioxide?
Sure. The dynamic diameter of CO₂ is approximately 3.3 Å, which is smaller than the pore diameter of 4 Å (4.2 Å). Therefore, it can be effectively adsorbed. This property makes it commonly used for:
Carbon dioxide removal from natural gas;
Removing CO₂ impurities in the argon production process;
Air purification in enclosed spaces (such as submarines, spacecraft.
