Abstract
Improved molecular sieves and processes for treatment of molecular sieves which permit use for separation of ethylene and silane without attending formation of ethylsilane. Such treatment includes treatment of sieves with silane at an effective temperature, pressure and time.
Claims4
A process for treating a molecular sieve comprising a sodium zeolite means for separating ethylene and silane in admixture, said process comprising treating said molecular sieve with silane for an effective time and at an effective temperature of from about 150.degree. C. to about 300.degree. C. and an effective pressure to prevent the formation of ethylsilane at a concentration greater than from about 0.1 weight percent to about 5.0 weight percent when separating said ethylene and said silane.
Process for pretreating a molecular sieve, said molecular sieve comprising type 4-A sodium zeolite and having a structure suitable for the separation of ethylene and silane in gaseous admixture, said process comprising subjecting said molecular sieve to gaseous silane at a temperature of about 180.degree. C. for about three hours.
