Zeolite Catalysts Market (Type: 3A, 4A, 5A, Type X, ZSM-5; Application: Air Separation, Petroleum Refining, Petrochemicals, Refrigerants, Natural Gas) - Global Industry Analysis, Market Size, Opportunities and Forecast, 2018 - 2025

Introduction

Zeolite is a crystalline, microporous aluminosilicate which consists of a group of hydrated aluminosilicates of alkali or alkaline earth metals. It is a crystalline of framework with three-dimensional tetrahedral structures like lithium, sodium, barium, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. It has applications in various end use industries which involve construction, water treatment, detergents etc. Zeolite consists of properties such as excellent high melting point, high-pressure resistance properties and high resistance to oxidation. Zeolites can be used together with activated carbon, whereas activated carbon or the polymer operates at higher concentrations and the zeolite as polishing for lower concentrations.

The efficiency of zeolite can be determined by:

• Type of VOC
• Type of zeolite
• Flue gas humidity
• Flue gas temperature
• For odor, yields of 80 – 95 % can be realized

Zeolite boundary condition:

• Flow rate: < 100 000 m³/h
• Concentration: < 25 % of lowest explosion limit
• Temperature: < 250 °C

Market Dynamics

The continuously growing population coupled with economic growth in emerging countries and stringent environmental regulations towards automotive emission are driving the use of zeolite catalysts in a number of end applications. Asia-Pacific is expected to register substantial growth in the near future, owing to the rise in demand for automotives from emerging economies such as India and China. In addition, improving living standards and rapid industrialization in the region supports the growth and development of the zeolite catalyst market. Furthermore, the development of biochemicals through catalysis presents new opportunities for future growth. However, the restricted development and distribution of new catalysts is hindering the growth of zeolite catalyst market.

Among all zeolite catalysts types, 3A held major position in terms of market share in 2017. 3A catalysts is mixture of zeolite powder 3A (>70%) and binder. A potassium based type A zeolite is a zeolite powder 3A, which is manufactured by replacing part of sodium cation in 4 angstrom sieve which is usually used for dehydration and diameter less than 3 anstroms is used for adsorb molecule. 3A catalysts are used as a perfect adsorbent to remove water from gas mixture in most circumstances.
