Molecular sieves are crystalline, synthetic zeolites. Their crystal gratings are similar to a cage with numerous hollow spaces. The cavities are accessible from all sides by pores of exactly defined dimensions.
Molecular sieves can be used:
in desiccators and drying tubes
for keeping absolute solvents dry
for drying gases or solvents in drying columns
for selective adsorption
