Molecular sieve 3A, inonziwo molecular sieve KA, ine aperture inosvika 3 angstroms, inogona kushandiswa kuomesa magasi uye zvinwiwa pamwe nekupedza mvura mumuviri wemahydrocarbon.Inoshandiswawo zvakanyanya kuomesa peturu, gasi rakatsemuka, ethylene, propylene uye magasi chaiwo.
Nheyo yekushanda yemasefa yemamorekuru inonyanya kuenderana nehukuru hwepore hwema molecular sieves, ayo ari 0.3nm/0.4nm/0.5nm zvichiteerana.Vanogona adsorb gasi mamorekuru ayo molecular dhayamita idiki pane pore saizi.Iyo yakakura saizi yehukuru hwepore, iyo yakakura iyo adsorption kugona.Kukura kwepore kwakasiyana, uye zvinhu zvinosefa nekuparadzaniswa zvakasiyanawo.Mumashoko akareruka, 3a molecular sieve inogona kungoshambadza mamorekuru pazasi 0.3nm, 4a molecular sieve, adsorbed mamorekuru anofanirawo kunge ari pasi pe0.4nm, uye 5a molecular sieve yakafanana.Kana yakashandiswa se desiccant, molecular sieve inogona kutora kusvika ku22% yehuremu hwayo muhunyoro.
