Shaping of Zeolite 4A by Binder Process

In commercial processes, the porous powders are processed to produce structured bodies by a variety of shaping methods. A larger molecular sieves body or agglomerate rather than the small crystals has the highest possible volumetric adsorption capacity as well as to facilitate handling of the adsorbent. It is desirable that these shapes show crush strength, attrition resistance, thermal stability and high adsorption capacity and selectivity. In this paper binder process for shaping of zeolite 4A is investigated.
