The application in the petrochemical industry. Zeolite molecular sieves are employed in a lot of operations and preparations of many chemical products because of their exceptional adsorption function.And especially in petrochemical industry,they are used widely and effectively, The following details typical conditions where they are effectively used in the petrochemical industry. The Zeolite molecular sieves are usually used as absorbents in the following three situations 1. When very dry streams are required Very dry streams may be required in some reactions when the reactant or product may react with the water,the existence of water may result in the failure of the reaction.Zeolite molecular sieves feature an extremely high adsorptive attraction for water. The value of water absorption is 5-6 times of silica or alumina.This affinity is so strong that water will normally displace any other material that is already adsorbed.Hence,zeolite molecular sieves can produce a much drier streams than other traditional ways, they are universally used after this feature was known as people. 2 When the operating temperature is very high. Zeolite molecular sieves are very stable,they can retain their activity at high temperature.As a matter of fact,they are the only absorbents which can remain actively in such a situation.For example,capacity while other absorbents are unable to absorb at 263K ,however，zeolite molecular sieves still have more than 13 weight-percent capacity.It is may be infrequent for a absorbents can tolerate such a high temperature. In the petrochemical industry, reactions,especially numerous organic reactions ,are operated at high temperature, such as benzene and ethylene react at 693K ,the catalyst and the absorbent of this reaction is H-ZSM,which is a type of zeolite molecular sieves .On the other hand,the selectivity for water is raise with the increase of temperature,in order to further improve the selectivity for water, the temperature of th
