Description

Zeolites, Faujasite-Type are a class of synthetic aluminosilicate minerals renowned for their highly porous crystalline structure and exceptional ion-exchange capacity. This material is critical for industrial processes requiring selective adsorption, molecular sieving, and catalytic activity. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D facilities in the petrochemical, environmental, and gas separation industries seeking reliable, high-performance adsorbents and catalysts.

Application

• Catalytic Cracking in Petrochemicals: Widely used as a key catalyst component in Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units to convert heavy petroleum fractions into valuable gasoline and olefins.
• Gas Separation & Purification: Employed as a molecular sieve for the selective adsorption and separation of gases, including nitrogen from air, and the removal of CO₂, H₂S, and moisture from natural gas streams.
• Adsorption & Drying: Effective desiccant for deep drying of air, refrigerants, and organic solvents due to its high affinity for water molecules.
• Detergent Builder: Functions as a water-softening agent in powdered and liquid detergents by exchanging calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions.
• Environmental Remediation: Used for the capture and removal of heavy metal ions, ammonia, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from industrial wastewater and contaminated air.
• Catalyst Support: Serves as a stable and high-surface-area support for various metal catalysts in chemical synthesis and emission control systems.

Quality Control

Our Zeolites, Faujasite-Type are manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is characterized and tested to ensure consistent performance in key parameters such as crystal structure, pore size distribution, ion-exchange capacity, and adsorption properties. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic nature, this material must be stored in a cool, dry place with minimal exposure to atmospheric humidity. For long-term stability, store at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) under dry, inert conditions if possible.
