13X molecular sieve

It appears to remove co2 and dries gases.

And it has an appearance change when it needs to be regenerated.

This would be simpler for my book.

From the paper:

"The molecular sieve is heated to 120 °C to completely remove the adsorbed H2O and CO2"

Not factoring in energy costs, 150C removes slightly more, based on the references.

I notice that have adjustable regulators between 1 and 10 ATM for compressed air fairly cheap.

13x... More than one type

13x aluminosilicate zeolite is probably what you are discussing,
I'm looking for 13x lithium zeolite for oxygen concentrator
Anyone know of a source?

10 bar is the normal pressure for compressed air in uk industry,
hence the 1 to 10 bar regulators are common, cheap and reliable.

The sieve that adsorbs co2 is widely available by the POUND.

You want a lithium one, a search states china has them.
