Although most of the zeolites used in the petroleum
industry are synthetic, more natural zeolites
are being used.
Typical applications include the following:
-
Removing water and carbon dioxide from gaseous
hydrocarbons
-
removing hydrochloric acid from gas streams
-
assisting in hydrogen or chlorine drying
-
assisting in chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbon
purification
-
catalysis and natural gas separation.
