Regenerating Adsorbents
Regeneration Molecular Sieve, Activated Alumina, and Silica Gel can all be regenerated, meaning they can be treated to remove what has been adsorbed, so that the product can be used repeatedly. Both heat and/or

Ethylene must be Pure and Dry
Ethylene must be Pure and Dry Ethylene must be pure and dry… but ironically, unsaturating olefin/paraffin molecules, is a watery, steamy business! Unfortunately, massive petrochemical molecules don’t just conveniently fall apart into useful bits
Cracking Fossil Fuels: The Role of Molecular Sieves
Separating (cracking) useful olefins or alkynes from paraffins is the key to profitability in this industry; however, it is constrained by the immense costs. The single most produced organic chemical worldwide is ethylene, at
Fracking Gas: The Role of Molecular Sieves
For humans, dehydration is a very bad thing, but for Natural Gas (methane), nothing could be better! Natural Gas cannot be overloaded with water vapor because that adds unnecessary weight (mass) and takes up
