Activated alumina has many uses; most frequently it serves as a desiccant in compressed air systems to protect equipment against moisture damage; it is also widely utilized for production processes like hydrogen peroxide production and Claus sulfur removal, as well as pharmaceutical processing.
Fluoride removal from drinking water can also be accomplished with this system, by filtering through an activated alumina bed with regular regeneration cycles.
