USE OF CRYSTALLINE MOLECULAR SIEVES CONTAINING CHARGED OCTAHEDRAL SITES IN CYCLIC DESICCATING PROCESSES

摘要

Crystalline molecular sieves containing octahedral sites such as the sieves known as ETS-4, ETS-10 and ETAS-10 are used to remove water from gases at ambient temperature and are regenerated by drying at mild temperatures, e.g., 100 DEG C and below, in appropriately modified forms. Processes included adsorptive drying, pressure swing drying, dehumidification, adsorption heat pump, desiccant cooling and water collection.
