Mordenite Zeolite
CAS No. (Type A): 1318-02-1
Product Detail
ACS Material Mordenite Zeolite is a molecular sieve with two pore channels and a high silica content. It is available in two grades, both in the H-form with a SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio of ~20: Type A: Synthetic Mordenite, prepared by the hydrothermal synthesis method, and Type B: Natural Mordenite, a natural product. Each grade is supplied in 100 g.
Product overview
Mordenite zeolite is a molecular sieve with two pore channels and a high silica content. Although mordenite occurs naturally, synthesized mordenite is considered better suited for adsorption and catalytic processes because of the stringent purity requirements of these applications. ACS Material uses hydrothermal methods to synthesize our mordenite zeolite within strict parameters.
Mordenite is effective for catalysis, separation and purification applications because of its uniform, small pore size, its high internal surface area, flexible framework and controlled chemistry. These characteristics, together with mordenite’s high thermal and acid stability, make it especially effective as a catalyst for reactions that take place at high temperatures, such as hydrocracking, hydroisomerization, alkylation and dewaxing, and for the production of dimethylamines. Mordenite is also widely used in the adsorption and separation of gas and liquid mixtures involving acidic components. Additionally, mordenite has potential use in applications such as semiconductors, chemical sensors and nonlinear optics.
