Large Surface Area is Key to a Valuable Adsorbent
Why is surface area key to a quality adsorbent?
Before we talk about surface area it’s helpful to understand how adsorption works.
Adsorbents work by adsorbing liquids or vapors into pores on their surface. The adsorption process doesn’t truly absorb the vapor or liquid that’s running through...

6 Precautions to Consider While Dehydrating Ethanol
Purifying ethanol requires running your distilled ethanol through molecular sieve beds in order to produce over 99% pure ethanol. In order to dehydrate ethanol thoroughly most plants require that you have ten’s if not hundred’s of thousands of pounds of sieve installed in your vessels.
