Molecular Sieve type 13X has a X type structure and is formed by arranging soldalight cases into tetrahedral stacking and bridging with the six membered oxygen atom-ring. The oxygen ring provides a cavity opening of the diameter 7.4 Angstrom. But this structure adsorbs molecules up to 10 Angstroms, hence the effective diameter is specified as 10 Angstrom. Molecular Sieve can be represented by general formula – M2 / nO [(AI2O3) . (SiO2)X]y H2O where, M represents Alkali metals with valancy N.
