Activated alumina is an efficient treatment option for water that contains fluoride or arsenic contaminants. It works by adsorbing contaminants instead of filtering them away, eliminating filter-clogging issues altogether.
FEECO provides various sizes of activated alumina desiccants. These beads feature numerous capillary channels and an expansive surface area, making them suitable for various adsorbent and catalyst applications.
High adsorption capacity
Activated Alumina Balls are an excellent choice for absorbing high purity monomers and other reactive chemicals in catalyst bed support systems, serving as high strength yet low porosity materials to be utilized across a wide variety of applications. Furthermore, Activated Alumina Balls make great dehydrators in dehydrating butane, propane and carbon dioxide gases as well as desiccants in various situations.
Molecular sieve is a synthetic hydrated alumina silicate (zeolite) with an extremely large specific surface area, strong selectivity and excellent temperature resistance. It is widely used in organic chemistry and petrochemical industries as an airborne pollution absorbent such as fluoride, arsenic and selenium absorption. Furthermore, activated alumina acts as an excellent adsorbent that removes both non-polar contaminants such as water pollutants as well as polar contaminants such as fluoride arsenic and selenium from airborne pollutants from airborne pollutants. Additionally, activated alumina is used to remove contaminants from water as well as gas for various applications including industrial gas drying applications including gas drying, dehydration of organic solvents purification purposes.
Clean drinking water is essential to humans, plants and animals alike. One effective method for purifying water using activated alumina balls to purify is activated alumina purification; using these balls to filter can remove harmful contaminants such as fluoride, arsenic, chromium and selenium from our drinking supplies and can even prevent methane clathrate formation in wastewater treatment processes.
Low abrasion
Activated alumina is a highly porous form of aluminum oxide with an enormous surface area. Its spherical shape and tunneled structure makes it the ideal material to absorb gases and liquids; especially effective at drawing in oxygen. Furthermore, activated alumina works well at drying gases such as propane, methane, hydrogen as well as drying fluids such as benzene, Freon transformer oil vegetable oils etc.
Activated alumina balls offer numerous advantages over silica gel in terms of heat and moisture resistance, low weight-to-surface-area ratio, noncorrosiveness and shrink-proofness – qualities which make them suitable for aerospace and automotive industries where water damage could threaten equipment. Furthermore, activated alumina balls may act as desiccants during transportation to protect goods against moisture build-up.
Activated alumina balls are not only highly efficient air drying agents, but they’re also excellent adsorbents and catalyst carriers in various industrial applications. Their durability extends beyond air drying: they can withstand high temperature, pressure, acidic solutions like vinegar and ammonia as well as organic solvents like alcohol. Furthermore, activated alumina balls have even been known to absorb trace levels of water molecules or other polar molecules! They’re widely utilized within petrochemical, air/gas and fertilizer industries.
High thermal stability
Activated alumina boasts exceptional thermal stability, meaning it can withstand high temperatures without losing its absorption properties. This makes it an excellent choice for applications requiring high temperatures such as air and gas drying. Furthermore, activated alumina can be recycled repeatedly which reduces waste while saving money.
Alumina balls are highly resilient and resistant to abrasion, increasing their lifespan by protecting themselves against wear-and-tear. Plus, they’re easy to clean – ideal for industrial processes where hygiene is of great concern. Alumina balls can also be found used in wear-resistant linings and protective coatings to limit corrosion damage while prolonging equipment lifespan.
Alumina balls are ceramic desiccants with large surface areas and extensive networks of microscopic pores, produced by heating aluminum hydroxide at high temperatures. Alumina balls have become widely used in the petrochemical industry as air dryers, catalyst carriers, fluoride adsorption materials and fluoride absorption agents; with strong affinity to water molecules as well as oxides, acetic acid and alkalis.
Alumina ceramic is highly resistant to chemical corrosion and boasts low impurity levels, making it non-toxic, non-flammable, and offering great mechanical strength. Furthermore, this material’s non-reactivity makes it a fantastic choice for sensitive industrial applications like compressed air dryers, oxygen production facilities and automatic instrument air drying units.
High purity
Activated alumina balls are widely utilized as bed support media in industrial processes. Their high adsorption power and large surface area makes them perfect for filtering contaminants out of liquids and gases, protecting catalysts they support from damage, as well as providing consistent performance ensuring reliability across an array of industrial processes.
Activated Alumina Balls can be recycled and reused in many applications, from air and gas drying and catalysis, to desiccants in petrochemical industries. Regeneration involves submersion in a solution of hydrochloric acid and aluminum sulfate for 30 hours before discarding this solution and washing the activated alumina with water; multiple regeneration cycles can decrease maintenance costs and the risk of contamination.
Activated alumina is composed of aluminium oxide with an exceptionally high surface-area-to-weight ratio, making it an effective adsorbent for water purification by binding fluoride and arsenic from drinking water sources. Furthermore, activated alumina can also be used to dehydrate insulating oils in the oil industry, thus reducing machinery abrasion. Alumina balls may also be employed in organic liquid dehydration to protect their quality over time – leading to enhanced production as well as product quality improvements over time.
