Used extensively as desiccants to remove moisture from gases and liquids in industrial and laboratory settings. Highly effective in drying solvents such as ethanol, methanol, and acetone due to their uniform pore size. Commonly applied in refrigeration systems to keep refrigerants dry and prevent corrosion. Employed in the petrochemical industry for purifying natural gas and removing water from hydrocarbon streams. Also used in air separation units to dry air before processing. Their selective adsorption properties make them ideal for removing small polar molecules like water while excluding larger molecules. Widely used in packaging to control humidity and protect moisture-sensitive products.
