Abstract
A process for the production of a molecular sieve adsorbent blend product with improved performance characteristics produced by preparing a zeolite powder, preparing a highly dispersed attapulgite fiber binder, mixing the zeolite powder with the highly dispersed attapulgite binder to form a mixture, forming molecular sieve adsorbent products into a shaped material and calcining the shaped material, wherein the tapped bulk density of the highly dispersed attapulgite fibers measured according to DIN/ISO 787 is more than about 550 g/ml.
Claims24
A process for the production of a molecular sieve adsorbent blend product with improved performance characteristics comprising
- preparing a zeolite product;
- preparing an attapulgite binder comprising highly dispersed attapulgite fibers;
- mixing the zeolite with the attapulgite binder and water to produce a mixture;
- forming a molecular sieve adsorbent product from the mixture;
- and
- calcining the adsorbent product to form the molecular sieve adsorbent blend product,
- wherein the tapped bulk density of the highly dispersed attapulgite fibers, as measured according DIN/ISO 787, is more than about 550 g/l.
A molecular sieve adsorbent blend product comprising a zeolite blended with a highly dispersed attapulgite binder, wherein the tapped bulk density of the highly dispersed attapulgite binder is more than about 550 g/l.
