The correct citation is Breck, D.W. J. Chem. Ed. 1964(41), 678. I revised the article's references. [http://www.jce.divched.org/Journal/Issues/1964/Dec/index.html Here's] a link to the article, for subscribers.

Please consider and take into account that agarose and polyacrylamide gels or solutions can act as very efficient molecular sieves in electrophoreses.--Michaoje (talk) 20:27, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

MS accronym

Please provide a source for the accronym MS, otherwise it will be removed from the dissambiguation page. --CyclePat (talk) 07:36, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

physical parameters

What are the average drying regeneration temperature of molecular seive? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.68.49.2 (talk) 17:04, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Adsorption vs. Absorption

There have been numerous edits incorrectly changing "adsorption" to "absorption." Keep an eye out for these edits, as there is a big difference between the two terms.

--Cuitarded (talk) 16:13, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

References in section titles

References do not belong in section titles. That is the case for "Adsorption capabilities" and "FDA approval". It should be changed. --Mortense (talk) 21:58, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Picture with US coin

OK, how big is a U.S. quarter? Could we get another picture, maybe with a proper scale (ie. in metric). Contrary to some people's belief, there are other countries, other than the US. 58.6.45.95 (talk) 01:23, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

:I fully agree, in the meantime, I've added the diameter of the quarter in the photo. Tomásdearg92 (talk) 16:42, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Missing Introduction

This article doesn't have an introduction. It had one in December; what happened to it? I would suggest we replace the original intro, to give readers a brief insight into the subject before plunging them into the detail; if there are no objections I will do so in a few days.

3A also used for methanol / ethanol

3A also used for methanol / ethanol, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applejack_(drink), under 'Decline in Popularity'. You might want to add to the 'Adsorption capabilities' table.

application in medical oxygen device

I'm just proposing that someone add a mention of the fact that they are also used in oxygen concentrators to remove nitrogen etc to output 95% pure oxygen. This could be added near the sentences about air filtration for firefights.

Also, it seems like there are an excessive amount of parenthesis, even in instances where a comma or new sentence would have been the better choice.

Photo caption does not make sense

"A sealed canister, commonly filled with silica gel and other molecular sieves used as desiccant in drug containers to keep contents dry." What does this mean? Equinox 12:12, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

:Good point. I dont think that anyone would object to replacing the image, so I put in a suggestion. The replacement image shows the structure of the aluminosilicate framework that comprises the so-called LTA (Linde type-A, or zeolite-A). Not shown are the Na+ centers that attract the water. Strangely, Wikipedia lacks an article on Zeolite A. --Smokefoot (talk) 17:02, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Plagiarism?

Much of this article from the "zeolite" section down appears to be copied word for word from this page: https://hengyeinc.com/13x-zeolite-uses/

Additionally, the tone of that piece doesn't really match Wikipedia's style. Unfortunately, I think fixing the issue would require a much deeper understanding of molecular sieves than I currently possess. Plasticpickle (talk) 13:44, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

{{ping| Plasticpickle}}

  • About the plagiarism, your comment is unclear. I guess that you are saying that the Zeolite section is copied from hengyeinc.com? Anything else?
  • About tone, you are correct. Thank you, --Smokefoot (talk) 19:57, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
  • :Sorry, I should've checked more thoroughly, it appears it was just the "Zeolite" section and the "13X" section. Thanks! Plasticpickle (talk) 21:56, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
