The steps in zeolite 3A regeneration, particularly for ion exchange or moisture removal, are:
Depressurization: If used in a pressurized system, reduce the pressure to release trapped gases.
Backwashing: Flush the zeolite bed with clean water in reverse flow to remove any debris or particles.
Chemical Regeneration (if for ion exchange): Use a sodium chloride (NaCl) brine solution to replace ammonium or other adsorbed ions with sodium ions. The concentration of NaCl typically ranges from 5% to 10%.
Thermal Desorption (if for moisture removal): Heat the zeolite to temperatures between 150°C to 250°C to remove adsorbed water or other volatile compounds.
Rinsing: Rinse the zeolite bed with clean water to remove excess salt or residual chemicals.
Repressurization (if used in PSA systems): After regeneration, repressurize the system and return the zeolite to normal operating conditions.
