activated alumina
Activated alumina is a versatile and efficient material with significant applications as both an adsorbent and a desiccant across a multitude of industries. It can effectively remove contaminants and moisture from various gaseous and liquid. Get a quote now:
both an adsorbent and a desiccant
Activated alumina’s porous surface alongside with its polarity allows it to perform in a way that no other desiccants can. Not only it can adsorb moisture from its environment, it can also selectively adsorb molecules such as fluoride, arsenic, sulfur compounds, and organic vapor. This selective adsorption capability allows it to be effective in a multitude of separation and purification applications.
reliable, and stable
Activated alumina is a powerful, versatile, reliable and stable adsorbent/desiccant due to its properties.
- It is chemically inert, meaning it doesn’t react to most chemicals that comes in contact with it.
- It is resistance to both thermal shock and abrasion, ensuring its durability in various applications.
- It doesn’t shrink, swell, or soften when immersed in water, maintaining its physical integrity even in aqueous environments.
- It displays amphoteric properties, enabling it to act as both an acid in basic solutions and a base in acidic solutions, which allows it to function as a sluggish ion exchanger over a wide pH range.
- It is also thermally stable, allowing it to withstand high temperatures without decaying.
catered for purification
Activated alumina is often used in industries for purification purposes such as water treatment, air/gas purification, petrochemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing and more. In particular, its function is including but not limited to:
- Compressed Air Drying – widely used to remove moisture, preventing corrosion and damage to equipment.
- Gas Drying – often used to dry natural gas, air, and other industrial gases so to maintain purity of the gases.
- Fluoride Removal – removing excessive fluoride from drinking water.
