Description

Mordenite is a naturally occurring zeolite mineral belonging to the pentasil family, characterized by its unique framework of interconnected channels and high silica-to-alumina ratio. This structure provides exceptional thermal stability, acid resistance, and selective adsorption properties, making it a valuable material for catalytic and separation processes. It is a critical component for industries requiring shape-selective catalysis, gas purification, and ion-exchange applications.

Application

• Catalysis: Widely used as a catalyst and catalyst support in petroleum refining processes, particularly for hydrocracking, isomerization, and dewaxing due to its shape-selective properties.
• Gas Separation & Adsorption: Employed in pressure swing adsorption (PSA) systems for the purification and separation of gases such as nitrogen from air, and for drying natural gas streams.
• Ion Exchange: Utilized in water treatment and nuclear waste remediation for the selective removal of cations, including radioactive cesium and strontium.
• Detergent Builder: Acts as a water-softening agent in eco-friendly detergent formulations, replacing phosphates.
• Agriculture & Animal Feed: Used as a feed additive for livestock to improve nutrient absorption and as a soil amendment to enhance water retention and nutrient delivery.
• Molecular Sieves: Manufactured into pellets or beads for use as desiccants and selective adsorbents in industrial drying applications.

Quality Control

Our Mordenite is produced and tested under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Key parameters such as silica/alumina ratio, cation exchange capacity, and crystal structure are rigorously verified. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and performance specifications is provided with every shipment to meet your quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
