Method for forming molecular sieve base frame
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of molecular sieves, and particularly relates to a forming method of a molecular sieve base frame.
Background
Molecular sieves are materials containing precise and single microscopic pores that can be used to adsorb gases or liquids. Molecules small enough can be adsorbed through the pores while larger molecules cannot, unlike a conventional sieve, operate at the molecular level.
Powder metallurgy is a process technology for manufacturing metal or metal powder as a raw material, and manufacturing metal materials, composite materials and various types of products through forming and sintering operations, and at present, the powder metallurgy technology is widely applied to the fields of traffic, machinery, electronics, aerospace, weaponry, biology, new energy, information, nuclear industry and the like, and becomes one of the most active branches in new material science.
At present, molecular sieves are generally used in two ways, wherein the first way is to directly put the molecular sieves into liquid or gas; the second is to use a screen as a carrier for the molecular sieve to perform the adsorption operation. The first mode cannot adsorb volatilized gas, so that the adsorption effect is reduced; secondly, because the existing screen is of a compact structure, although the particle size of the molecular sieve is extremely small, the molecular sieve cannot enter pores of the screen, and the adsorption effect is reduced.
