3A adsorbent, a potassium-exchanged form of the type A molecular sieve, is an alkali metal aluminosilicate. 3A adsorbent will adsorb molecules with critical diameters up to 3 angstroms type.
Applications:
Type 3A is used for commercial dehydration of unsaturated hydrocarbon streams such as cracked gas, propylene, butadiene and acetylene. Type 3A is also used for drying polar liquids such as methanol and ethanol, and hydroxide organic compound. Type 3A is also used for drying refrigerants and drying N2-H2 mixtures made by cracking of NH3..
