WHAT DOES MOLECULAR SIEVE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

molecular sieve

Molecular sieve

A molecular sieve is a material with very small holes of precise and uniform size. These holes are small enough to block large molecules while allowing small molecules to pass. Many molecular sieves are used as desiccants. Some examples include activated charcoal and silica gel. The diameter of a molecular sieve is measured in Angstroms or nanometres. The unit conversion for 1 Å is 0.1 nm. According to IUPAC notation, microporous materials have pore diameters of less than 2 nm and macroporous materials have pore diameters of greater than 50 nm; the mesoporous category thus lies in the middle with pore diameters between 2 and 50 nm.

Definition of molecular sieve in the English dictionary

The definition of molecular sieve in the dictionary is a material that can absorb large amounts of certain compounds while not absorbing others and is thus suitable for use in separating mixtures.
