Sumitomo Chemical Company Ltd.
The company boasts multiple patented technologies that have been demonstrated to significantly enhance activated alumina products, specifically those used for water treatment and pollution control, including those with high pore volume and low bulk density, providing superior abrasion resistance. They also manufacture specialty absorbents and catalyst carriers used in oil and biomass conversion processes.
Activated alumina is a material made by dehydrating aluminum hydroxide to create porous material with a defined surface area, and is commonly used as desiccants, adsorbents and filters for macromolecules in water. Desuden, activated alumina serves as a catalyst in hydrogen peroxide production as well as front line traps in vacuum applications.
Due to its superior absorption properties, activated alumina’s global market is expected to experience exponential growth. Alumina boasts high pore volume and low bulk density – ideal properties for many applications including waste water treatment – making it an environmentally-friendly choice. Additionally, activated alumina is a renewable resource, making it highly cost-effective and ecologically responsible choice.
There are various companies that produce activated alumina. Three top producers include BASF SE, Porocel Industries LLC and Huber Engineered Materials; all have pioneered innovative activated alumina solutions designed to lower costs and improve operational efficiencies, offering advanced adsorbents that meet industry-wide quality and performance criteria.

Sorbead India
Activated alumina has quickly gained prominence as an efficient adsorbent in several industries, including water treatment plants. It can reduce arsenic and fluoride concentration levels in waste water while protecting the environment from pollution, boasting high crush strength, thermal shock resistance, chemical stability and thermal shock resistance properties that make it extremely resilient against temperature shocks and chemical spills. Desuden, activated alumina is highly effective at reducing levels of lead, sulphur oxide and hydrogen sulfide which all pose risks to humans as well.
Air and gas drying, catalyst bed support, sludge purification and oil filtration are among its many applications for which activated carbon adsorbent can be utilized. Desuden, this non-odorous and water insoluble adsorbent is also effective at reducing dissolved solids levels in drinking water – offering an economical alternative to sodium bicarbonate or silica gel solutions.
Adsorbent is produced by heating aluminum oxide to high temperatures, producing a highly porous and high surface area material with high thermal shock resistance and resistance against thermal shock and abrasion, not shrinking or softening when immersed in water – ideal for industrial processes requiring an ultrapure environment.
Alumina desiccants have numerous uses, from drying organic liquids such as LPG and butane to steam cracked liquids and aromatic solvents. Desuden, these desiccants are popularly utilized by food industries for freshness preservation while research labs employ them as moisture/humidity absorbers for sample analyses.
