This chain is used for producing Molecular Sieves. They are useful for many puroses.
3 Angstrom: Dry Ethanol, Acetylene, Ethylene, Propylene, and Butadiene
4 Angstrom: Absorb H2O, NH3, H2S, SO2, CO2, C2H5OH, C2H6, and C2H4, and replace Phosphorus in reactions
5 Angstrom: Dry Natural Gas and purify in oil processing
Products
Main Product: 3A, 4A, and 5A Molecular Sieves
Side Product(s): None
Steps
4A Sieve
6 Sodium Hydroxide (s) + 3 Silicon Dioxide (s) -> 4 Sodium Silicate Dust (s) + 1 Water (l)
2NaOH (s) + SiO2 (s) -> (Na2O)SiO (s) + H2O (l)
7 Aluminium Hydroxide (s) + 3 Sodium Hydroxide (s) -> 4 Sodium Aluminate (s) + 2 Water (l).
Al(OH)3 (s) + NaOH (s) -> NaAlO2 (s) + 2H2O (l)
4 Sodium Silicate Dust (s) + 4 Sodium Aluminate Dust (s) + 2.5 Water (l) + 1 Oxygen (g) -> 4 Wet 4A Molecular Sieve (s) + 3 Sodium Oxide (s)
2(Na2O)SiO (s) + 2NaAlO2 (s) + 5H2O (l) + 2O (g) -> (Na2O)(Al2O3)(SiO2)2(H2O)5 (s) + 2Na2O (s)
1 Wet 4A Molecular Sieve (s) -> 1 4A Molecular Sieve (s)
This is done at 673K, but can be instead just done in a furnace.
3A Sieve
1 Potash Dust (s) + 2 4A Molecular Sieve (s) -> 2 3A Molecular Sieve (s) + 1 Sodium Oxide Dust (s)
(Na2O)(Al2O3)(SiO2)2(H2O)5 (s) + 2/3 K2O (s) -> (Na2O)0.33(K2O)0.66(Al2O3)(SiO2)2(H2O)5 (s) + 2/3 Na2O (s)
5A Sieve
1 Quicklime Dust (s) + 6 4A Molecular Sieve (s) -> 6 5A Molecular Sieve (s) + 3 Sodium Oxide Dust (s)
(Na2O)(Al2O3)(SiO2)2(H2O)5 (s) + 2/3 CaO (s) -> (Na2O)0.33(CaO)0.66(Al2O3)(SiO2)2(H2O)5 (s) + 2/3 Na2O (s)
