Used primarily for drying gases and liquids, it effectively removes water molecules due to its uniform pore size. Commonly applied in the petroleum industry to purify natural gas and other hydrocarbons. It is also utilized in packaging to maintain a moisture-free environment, protecting sensitive products like electronics and pharmaceuticals. In laboratories, it serves as a desiccant in organic synthesis to ensure anhydrous conditions. Additionally, it aids in the separation of nitrogen from air in industrial processes. Its ability to selectively adsorb molecules makes it valuable in various purification and drying applications.
