Used primarily in the petroleum and chemical industries for drying and purifying gases and liquids. Effective in removing water from ethanol, natural gas, and refrigerants, ensuring anhydrous conditions critical in chemical synthesis. Commonly applied in the dehydration of cracked gas streams and in the preparation of dry air systems. Also utilized in the refining process to protect catalysts from moisture damage. Its selective pore size allows only small molecules like water to be adsorbed while excluding larger molecules such as hydrocarbons. Widely used in air drying systems for compressed air and in the packaging of pharmaceuticals and electronics to maintain low humidity environments.
