Faujasite Sugar Molecular Sieve Zeolite Model
SKU: 68784W
This structurally accurate molecular model of zeolite Y depicts the faujasite-type structure used by BlueTree Technologies to reduce sugar content in fruit juices. BlueTree’s patented method employs cation-exchanged zeolite Y, typically with a Si/Al ratio of ≥10:1, to selectively adsorb sucrose while leaving glucose and fructose behind for taste and nutritional balance. Our model helps visualize the porous 3D framework responsible for this molecular selectivity and is ideal for teaching, R&D, or public outreach on applications of zeolites in food science and sustainable nutrition.
Note: There are no written instructions. You will need to build it using this image, the stereo pairs below or the video to guide you. This is not recommended for beginners.
Indigo Instruments has maintained a substantial inventory of genuine Cochranes of Oxford (Orbit) parts for 30+ years (scroll down to see "Skeletal (Orbit/Minit) and are compatible with every molecular model kit we have sold since day 1. This level of quality may appear expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.
Thanks for the feedback. Trying to describe the assembly was next to impossible so we'll get a picture done of the sodalite cage & add that shortly. Here's a bit more on this model also used for teaching: Zeolite Catalyst Molecular Models Teach Oil Cracking
