I could hardly find any info about molecular sieves and its application in drying organic solvents. I know that you cannot use too big pores because
the solvent will also be absorbed e.g. ethanol and 4A MS, but I have no idea how it works otherwise.
Wiki says that 5A are used to dehydration of liquid petroleum gas, but does the smaller ones (like 3A) can remove water from it as well?
What about aromatic compounds as benzene, toluene etc? Is it possible to dehydrate it with 3A, and why?
