Glossary of terms

Kinetic Selectivity

The property shown by molecular sieve materials in which the difference in the sorption kinetics of molecules of a different size or mass is used to select one species over another. The kinetic selectivity of carbon molecular sieves (CMS) is exploited in Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) for gas separation applications.
