A main component of X-type molecular sieve is aluminosilicate, silicon-oxy and alumina tetrahedron to form a FAU-type structure, the main crystal structure is twelve membered ring.
In molecular sieve 10X, calcium ion formation with a pore opening of 10Å (1Å=1×10-10m), that is type 10X (also known as CaX-type) molecular sieve.

Adsorbent product must be stored in a dry location to prevent pre-adsorption of water and some other impurities.
Zeolite Molecular Sieve packages when opened should be resealed to prevent contamination of the
product. Whenever possible, rotate stock to use oldest material first. If stored properly, this product have an indefinite shelf life, however, material packaged in Super Sacks should be retested
for Total Volatiles after 12 months. Material in Drums should be retested after 36 months.
The Zeolite Molecular Sieve product should be regenerated after a certain period of adsorption.
The appropriate regenerated temperature would be better below 330℃.
