What is zeolite desiccant.

Aluminosilicate compound having a cubic lattice, is mainly composed of silicon aluminum attached through an oxygen bridge consisting of the open framework structure, there are a lot of uniform pore size and neat in pore structure, large surface area of the inner hole. It also contains a low price and a larger ionic radius of metal ions and the chemical form of water. Since the water molecules in the continuous loss of heat, but the same crystal framework structure, the formation of many of the same size of the cavity, the cavity there are many of the same diameter connected pores, the diameter of these small pores of uniform size, pore ratio can diameter smaller molecules adsorbed into the interior of the cavity in the past, and the ratio of pores too large molecular exclusion, and thus able to molecular diameter different shapes, different degree of polarity of the molecule, the boiling point of different molecules, the different degree of saturation of molecular separation open, that has the effect of "screening" elements, so called molecular sieves. Currently #zeolite #desiccant widely used in the metallurgical, chemical, electronics, petrochemical and natural gas industries.
