What are molecular sieves?

Molecular sieves are zeolites. Zeolites are crystalline three dimensionals alumosilicates with cavities inside the crystal lattice. These cavities are connected by channels, the so-called pores. The pores have an exact defined diameter which is the most important parameter for the application of zeolites. That means just molecules having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the pores reaching the cavities. Thereby an accurate separation (selectivity, molecular sieve effect) between adsorbable and non-adsorbable molecules is possible.
