4A Molecular Sieve
4A molecular sieve is a zeolite-type molecular sieve composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3). Its pore size is approximately 4Å (angstroms), allowing for selective adsorption of molecules smaller than 4Å, such as water molecules, methanol, ethanol, low carbon hydrocarbons, hydrogen sulfide, etc. It is suitable for drying gases and liquids such as air and natural gas.
