Oxygen-generating molecular sieves have a wide range of applications, with lithium-based oxygen-generating molecular sieves as their representative products.

Oxygen-producing molecular sieves refer to microporous aluminosilicate crystals that can separate and produce oxygen from the air using molecular sieve adsorption characteristics at room temperature. Oxygen-generating molecular sieves have the advantages of strong water absorption, long service life, and low production costs. They have broad application prospects in many fields such as non-ferrous metallurgy, oxygen-enriched combustion technology, environmental protection, medical care, papermaking, chemical industry, and aquaculture.

Oxygen generating molecular sieves are zeolite molecular sieves, with zeolite as its main raw material. Zeolite is an aluminosilicate ore with adsorption and ion exchange properties and is widely used in the petrochemical industry. my country is one of the major zeolite producing countries in the world. Hebei, Zhejiang, Henan, Anhui, Hubei and other places are the main zeolite producing areas in my country. In recent years, driven by downstream demand, my country’s zeolite processing technology has continued to improve, driving its quality to further improve, which provides favorable conditions for the development of my country’s oxygen-producing molecular sieve industry.

There are many types of oxygen-generating molecular sieves. According to different cation types, they can be divided into lithium-based oxygen-generating molecular sieves, calcium-based oxygen-generating molecular sieves, sodium-based oxygen-generating molecular sieves, etc. At present, lithium-based oxygen-generating molecular sieves are the representative products of oxygen-generating molecular sieves in my country. They refer to oxygen-generating molecular sieves made from lithium compounds such as lithium hydroxide as base materials. Compared with calcium-based and sodium-based oxygen-generating molecular sieves, they have high density, With the advantages of high oxygen production efficiency, it is widely used in the vacuum pressure swing adsorption oxygen production (VPSA) process.

According to the “2023-2028 China Oxygen Molecular Sieve Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, Oxygen-generating molecular sieves have broad application prospects in non-ferrous metallurgy, oxygen-rich combustion technology, environmental protection, medical care, papermaking, chemical industry, aquaculture and many other fields. In recent years, benefiting from national policy support, oxyfuel combustion, as a new energy-saving combustion technology, has been widely used in industrial furnace-related fields. Oxygen-generating molecular sieves can be used to prepare oxygen-rich gas and are important raw materials for oxyfuel combustion technology. With the increasingly strong downstream demand, the development speed of my country’s oxygen molecular sieve industry will further accelerate.

The main manufacturers of oxygen-generating molecular sieves in my country include Luoyang Jianlong Micro-Nano New Materials Co., Ltd. and China Catalyst Group Co., Ltd. The oxygen-generating molecular sieves produced by Jianlong Micro-Nano are widely used in the fields of medical care oxygen production, cryogenic air separation oxygen production, and industrial pressure swing adsorption oxygen production. Cryogenic oxygen-generating molecular sieves are the company’s main products; China Catalyst is my country’s special As a leading catalyst enterprise, the company’s oxygen production molecular sieve is still in the laboratory trial stage.

Industry analysts said that oxygen-generating molecular sieves have the advantages of strong water absorption and long service life. They are widely used in many fields and are accompanied by downstream As the industry develops faster, its market demand will grow further. Lithium-based oxygen-generating molecular sieves are mainstream products in the oxygen-generating molecular sieve market. They have excellent performance and good industry development prospects. In the future, with the continued efforts of local enterprises, my country’s oxygen-generating molecular sieve industry will develop in the direction of high performance.
