Activated alumina desiccant beads are an efficient and cost-effective means of extracting moisture and pollutants from gasses such as CNG, LNG and compressed air. Their strong crush strength, resistance to swelling and pulverization and tolerance of heat shock all make them highly sought-after chemisorbents.
The market for activated alumina is highly fragmented and competitive. Many industries rely on activated alumina products in water treatment processes to eliminate fluoride contamination; additionally, activated alumina is frequently used to dry equipment, including instrument air dryers.

Activated alumina is an extremely porous form of aluminum oxide with a high surface area-to-mass ratio, capable of reaching dew points ranging from -40degF to -100degF in compressed air and gas drying applications. In contrast to silica gel, activated alumina resists thermal shock and abrasion as well as liquid water damage; hence making it suitable for desiccant dryers, air cleaners, and water purification applications.
Corundum has similar surface area but less chemical activity; in comparison, alumina contains numerous “tunneled” pores with multiple adsorption sites that make it an effective desiccant, keeping products dry by absorbing water molecules. Alumina can also absorb other gases and liquids such as volatile chemicals, aromatic solvents, chlorofluorohydrocarbons and ethylene for further use as desiccant.
Activated Alumina Desiccant price comes in various bead sizes, with 1/8″ (2-5 mm) beads being the most commonly available option. Furthermore, this material can be provided impregnated with potassium permanganate (KMNO4) media to act as a strong chemisorbent which can remove Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) Mercaptans, and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) from air streams. Due to its uniform spherical shape and high crush strength this material can easily fit into regenerative dryer towers without incurring pressure drop issues; alternatively it can replace zeolitic materials in conventional air dryers as zeolitic material replacements.

The global activated alumina market is projected to experience rapid expansion during its forecast period, driven by rising water treatment demand and strict government regulations regarding waste water management, as well as initiatives aimed at expanding industrial capacity. The market can be divided based on form and application; beads held an especially prominent share due to growing water treatment needs in emerging nations that supported government initiatives for water treatment facilities.
Market growth is being propelled by rising biopharmaceutical demand. Activated alumina is often employed in biopharmaceutical production – pharmaceuticals derived from living organisms or semi-synthetic synthesis that require purification prior to being administered human medicine. Furthermore, bio ceramics use activated alumina as raw material in manufacturing refractory materials which can withstand extreme temperatures and harsh environments.
Oil and gas industries are another key driving force of activated alumina market growth. Since natural gas (CNG, LNG, and other forms) use as fuel has increased dramatically over the last ten years, increasing pipeline congestion due to water condensation as well as corrosion caused by moisture accumulating on metal catalysts has become more of an issue. Activated alumina works effectively at eliminating moisture from these gasses while filtering out pollutants such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, in addition to being capable of adsorbing lithium ions for ultimate prevention against metal catalyst clogging caused by corrosion caused by water condensation accumulating on metal catalysts.

Activated alumina is an extremely porous form of aluminum oxide with an extensive surface area exceeding 300m2/g, making it suitable for desiccant applications in liquids and gases with dew points below 40degF. Although all molecules will be partially adsorbed by activated alumina, those that possess greater polar preference are preferentially attracted. Furthermore, activated alumina’s durability means it can be reused many times over a long period. In addition, its resistance to high temperatures and corrosion makes it great against chemical corrosion as well as high temperature temperatures.
Owing to its exceptional permeance and low surface-area requirements, activated carbon can also act as a molecular sieve and remove impurities in air. As a type of aluminium oxide with raised surface areas that has exceptionally permeable pores that retain liquids and gases without altering their structures. Regenerating activated carbon via heating also enables regeneration as it is resistant to thermal shock, abrasion, shrinking and softening – making it an invaluable filtration material.
We are one of the leading manufacturers and exporters of activated alumina in Jamangar, Rajasthan India. Our activated alumina is manufactured using high quality raw materials obtained from reliable vendors in the market and has proven highly efficient at absorbing gases such as LPG, butane, cyclohexane, steam cracked liquids, chlorofluoro hydrocarbons as well as metal ions from water sources as well as hydrogen sulfide, chlorine formaldehyde and nitrous oxide from air sources.

Activated alumina is an extremely permeable form of aluminum oxide with a raised surface area, used as an effective desiccant to retain fluids and gases via retention procedures. Regenerated and reused several times, it resists thermal stress and abrasion; will not shrink, swell, or disintegrate when drenched with water; can store up to 100 times more moisture at elevated temperatures than silica gel; it is thermal stock resistant.
Desiccant material with highly porous surface areas that can reach very low dew points depending on dryer design and operating conditions can achieve extremely low dewpoints. Adsorption capacity depends upon molecules’ polarity; higher-polarized molecules will adsorb faster. Furthermore, unlike other desiccants it resists chemical degradation and doesn’t expand or shrink under high temperatures like other desiccants do.
We produce and export activated alumina desiccant, a type of sorbent used to prevent moisture buildup in compressed air systems. Available in two sizes – 1/8″ (2-5 mm) and 1/4″ (5-10 mm), our activated alumina desiccant is commonly found in regenerative dryers while 1/4″ is often utilized as a pre-bed when supporting large activated alumina beds or acting as a buffer against silica gel beds.
Our products are of international quality and can be tailored to the specifications provided by customers. Our expert quality control supervisors carefully oversee every stage of manufacturing to guarantee top-of-the-line chemicals are being produced. We offer various products, such as Potassium Permanganate Impregnated Activated Alumina which has strong oxidizing properties to quickly eliminate Hydrogen Sulfide(H2S), Chlorine(Cl2), Formaldehyde(HCHO)and Nitric Oxide(NO).
