a microporous structure composed of either crystalline aluminosilicates, chemically similar to clays and feldspars and belonging to a class of materials known as zeolites, or crystalline aluminophosphates derived from mixtures containing an organic amine or quaternary ammonium salt (whose) pore sizes range from 5 to 10 Å (and whose characteristic is its) ability to undergo dehydration with little or no change in crystalline structure
porous crystalline substances, especially aluminosilicates (see zeolite), that can be dehydrated with little change in crystal structure. As they form regularly spaced cavities, they provide a high surface area for the adsorption of smaller molecules.
Filter the solution through a glass fibre filter paper (4.5) and collect the whole filtrate in a 150 ml conical flask. Add 7,5 g molecular sieve (3.4), stopper and shake for five minutes.
Good to know
[The molecular sieves] are used in many fields of technology: to dry gases and liquids, for selective molecular separations based on size and polar properties, as ion-exchangers, as catalysts, as chemical carriers, in gas chromatography, and in the petroleum industry to remove normal paraffins from distillates.
