Lithium zeolite is a crucial component in oxygen concentrators, serving as the adsorbent material that selectively removes nitrogen from ambient air. The zeolite’s crystalline structure contains micropores that preferentially adsorb nitrogen molecules under pressure. By incorporating lithium ions into the zeolite framework, the material’s affinity for nitrogen increases significantly. This enhancement allows for a more efficient separation process, resulting in higher oxygen purity and improved concentrator performance. Lithium zeolite enables oxygen concentrators to deliver medical-grade oxygen by ensuring that the output gas contains a high concentration of oxygen while minimizing the presence of other gases.
