Analytical investigation of the properties and uses of a new hydrophobic molecular sieve.
Distribution coefficients and capacities have been determined for many different organic compounds on a new molecular sieve called silicalite, which does not adsorb water but does adsorb small organic molecules with diameters up to 6 A, from both liquid and gaseous streams. The characteristics of silicalite have been examined closely and new applications for it are briefly described.
