oxygen molecular sieve 4A
Molecular sieve 4A is an alkali alumino silicate; it is the sodium form of the Type A crystal structure.
4A molecular sieve has an effective pore opening of about 4 angstroms(0.4nm).
4A molecular sieve will adsorb most molecules with a kinetic diameter of less than 4 angstroms and exclude those larger.
Such adsorbable molecules include simple gas molecules such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxyde and straight chain
hydrocarbons.Branched chain hydrocarbons and aromatics are excluded.
