summary: Zeolite 5A is the calcium form of zeolite A, a synthetic aluminosilicate with pores of 5 angstroms (Zeochem). It is the CO2 sorbent in the ISS Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly, whose beds are designed to operate at 204 °C (NASA). NASA's hydrothermal tests show that humid thermal cycling breaks the pellets into dust, and the RK-38 product broke down fastest.
best_for: Regenerable CO2 removal in thermal-swing beds such as the ISS CDRA, where the design operating temperature is 204 °C (NASA)
weakest_at: Dust from pellet breakdown under humid thermal cycling; in NASA's test the RK-38 bed pressure drop rose 74.5 % per 1000 hours at 1.38 mmHg inlet water vapour

corrosion:
  - environment: Humid process gas during thermal cycling (NASA hydrothermal test)
    headline: Water in the process gas broke the RK-38 5A pellets down into dust much faster than the ASRT product.
    effect: At 1.38 mmHg inlet water vapour the RK-38 bed pressure drop rose 74.5 % per 1000 hours, against 6.65 for ASRT in the same run. NASA's 2025 paper calls RK-38 the product with the poorest hydrothermal stability on ISS.

gaps:
  - No GHS classification or safety data sheet for zeolite 5A was opened. The PubChem record returned a browser check, so the hazard entry rests on NASA's dust statement.
  - No CAS number, UNS, EN, DIN or other standard designation for zeolite 5A was printed in a source opened in this run.
  - Bulk density, adsorbed water and attrition for the 5A grade appear only in the Wikipedia table. Wikipedia is not used for values here, and no manufacturer datasheet with those figures was opened.
  - 'No crush strength for 5A pellets in text: NASA''s crush and attrition results are shown only as charts, which were not transcribed.'
  - 'No CO2 capacity for 5A in text: NASA''s capacity results are shown in figures only.'
  - The lowest-humidity row of the NASA hydrothermal test table prints its inlet water-vapour value with an exponent, so that row was left out.
  - Melting point, crystal density, surface area and thermal conductivity were not searched in this run.
  - The earlier NASA final report is a scanned document with garbled text. It is cited only for a 5A carbon dioxide retention test; no numbers from it were recorded.
  - Custom benchmark names were used for the test rows (pore_diameter, operating_temperature, hydrothermal_test_temperature, heating_ramp_rate, and the pressure-rise and initial-pressure rows). None is in spores/property-canon.yaml.
  - Critical-mineral status for zeolite was not checked against the USGS final list. The USGS chapter was opened, but its critical-minerals table was not.
  - 'Producer shares were not calculated: USGS reports mine tonnage for natural zeolites, not output of synthetic 5A.'
  - Terrestrial uses such as industrial drying and natural-gas dehydration appear in the Zeochem table but do not match the space application list, so they are not recorded as uses.
story:
  why: 'Zeolite 5A is the calcium form of zeolite A, a synthetic aluminosilicate with pores of 5 angstroms (Zeochem). It is the CO2 sorbent in the ISS CDRA, where NASA describes the removal beds as uniform packed beds of 5A zeolite. Its weakness is dust: under humid thermal cycling the pellets break down.'
  recipe:
    line: Zeolite 5A is made from the sodium form of zeolite A by exchanging sodium for calcium. The sodium form is made by combining aqueous sodium silicate and sodium aluminate, then heating to activate it (Wikipedia, production section).
    parts:
      - name: Sodium form of zeolite A (4A)
        role: Starting sieve. Sodium is the exchangeable cation; the patent describes the 4A form as having a pore size of about 4 angstrom units.

        where: Title and description of US 3433588
      - name: Calcium
        symbol: Ca
        role: Ion exchanged into the framework in place of sodium, which gives the 5A (CaA) form.

      verdict: No safety data sheet opened; dust is the stated hazard
      lead: No GHS classification or safety data sheet for zeolite 5A was opened in this run.
      points:
        - label: Dust
          line: NASA states that sorbent dust can critically impair moving parts and seals and can damage pumps and compressors in a spacecraft system.
    - title: For the spacecraft
      level: 3
      verdict: Dust is the design limit for CDRA beds
      lead: NASA's CDRA history shows that dust is the failure mode the bed design must guard against.
      points:
        - label: Humid cycling
          line: In the NASA hydrothermal test at 1.38 mmHg inlet water vapour, the RK-38 bed pressure drop rose 74.5 % per 1000 hours, against 6.65 for ASRT beds.
        - label: Crushing
          line: Some pellets crush at forces well below the average crush strength, so bed compaction must be limited (NASA 2025).
  uses:
    - where: International Space Station
      line: The ISS Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly packs 5A zeolite into beds that capture cabin CO2. The beds are heated cyclically to drive the CO2 off again (NASA 2015).
    - where: Skylab
      line: The Skylab regenerable CO2 removal bed held 5A zeolite as its CO2 layer, behind a 13X desiccant layer (NASA 2025).

      value: 5 angstroms

      line: Zeochem prints the pore size of its calcium-form 5A powder as 5 angstroms.
    - label: CO2 bed temperature
      value: 204 °C
      benchmark: operating_temperature
      line: NASA gives the design operating temperature of the ISS CDRA CO2 removal beds as 400°F (204°C).
    - label: Humid cycling
      value: 74.5 % per 1000 hours
      benchmark: rk38_pressure_increase_high
      line: In NASA's hydrothermal test at 1.38 mmHg inlet water vapour, the RK-38 bed pressure drop rose 74.5 % per 1000 hours, against 6.65 for ASRT.
    - label: Heating set point
      value: 204.4 °C
      benchmark: hydrothermal_test_temperature
      line: The hydrothermal stability test heats the sorbent to 204.4 °C at 2.84 °C per minute, matching ISS CDRA ramp rates.
  compare: Among the 5A products in NASA's hydrothermal test, RK-38 beds gained pressure drop faster than ASRT beds at every humidity level, so the product choice matters as much as the zeolite type. NASA's 2025 paper reports that a 13X zeolite was selected for the newer Four-Bed CO2 Scrubber for its overall superiority in strength, attrition resistance, hydrothermal stability and CO2 capacity, while 5A remains the CO2 sorbent of the original CDRA.

    - label: CDRA bed design temperature
      benchmark: operating_temperature
    - label: Pressure increase, RK-38 at 1.38 mmHg
      benchmark: rk38_pressure_increase_high
  handling:
    - Keep the sorbent away from humid gas during heating and cooling cycles. NASA lists humidity adsorbed in the 5A zeolite when it is heated as a suspected cause of the breakdown.
    - Limit bed compaction force so that the weakest pellets do not crush (NASA 2025, design lesson 5).
  good_for:
    - Regenerable CO2 removal in thermal-swing beds. NASA's ISS CDRA packs 5A zeolite into its CO2 beds and is the baseline for future crewed missions beyond low Earth orbit.
    - Flight heritage. The ISS CDRA has used 5A zeolite, and the Skylab CO2 removal bed also held 5A zeolite (NASA 2025).
  watch_out:
    - Dust from humid cycling. In NASA's hydrothermal test the RK-38 bed pressure drop rose 74.5 % per 1000 hours at 1.38 mmHg inlet water vapour.
    - Crush strength depends on water. NASA reports a clear sensitivity of pellet crush strength to absorbed water.
  verdict: Zeolite 5A is the flight-proven CO2 sorbent of the ISS CDRA, but NASA ties its dust problem to humid thermal cycling, so humidity control is part of the design.
