1. Product Overview
Zhongci CMS-220 is a premium-grade carbon molecular sieve (CMS) engineered for Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) nitrogen generation systems. Composed primarily of carbon, it appears as a cylindrical black solid with meticulously engineered microporous structures. Its core function is the efficient separation of nitrogen (N₂) from compressed air, delivering nitrogen purity exceeding 99.99%. This makes it indispensable for industries requiring ultra-pure nitrogen.
2. Key Technical Specifications
- Physical Properties:
- Structure: Uniform cylindrical pellets with optimized mechanical strength.
- Pore Size: Precisely controlled 4 Ångström (Å) micropores, selectively adsorbing oxygen (O₂) and moisture while allowing nitrogen to pass through.
- Density: High body density of 1.83–1.85 g/cm³, ensuring durability and stability under cyclic PSA operations.
- Performance Metrics:
- Nitrogen Purity: ≥99.99%.
- Adsorption Capacity: High nitrogen yield per unit volume, reducing operational costs.
- Thermal Stability: Resistant to high temperatures, suitable for demanding industrial environments.
3. Working Principle
CMS-220 leverages kinetic separation:
- Adsorption Phase: Compressed air enters the PSA tower. Oxygen molecules (smaller kinetic diameter: ~3.46 Å) diffuse into the 4 Å pores faster than nitrogen (~3.64 Å), becoming trapped.
- Desorption Phase: Pressure reduction releases adsorbed O₂, regenerating the sieve.
- Output: Enriched nitrogen gas (>99.99% purity) exits the system.
4. Industrial Applications
CMS-220 is critical in sectors requiring inert atmospheres:
- Petrochemicals: Prevents oxidation during storage and processing.
- Metal Heat Treatment: Eliminates surface oxidation in annealing/furnace processes.
- Electronics: Protects sensitive components during manufacturing.
- Food Preservation: Extends shelf life by displacing oxygen in packaging (modified atmosphere packaging).
5. Packaging & Supply
- Standard Packaging: 40 kg sealed plastic drums.
- Production Capacity: Up to 1,000 tons per month, ensuring reliable supply.
- Certifications: Complies with industrial standards for adsorbents and coating auxiliaries.
6. Advantages Over Alternatives
- Cost Efficiency: High N₂ yield reduces energy consumption per unit of gas produced.
- Longevity: Robust structure minimizes attrition loss during pressure cycling.
- Low Maintenance: Consistent performance with minimal regeneration downtime.
