Activated Alumina Balls Market Research Report

Activated Alumina Ball (AAB) is a white sphere-shaped activated alumina desiccant capable of drying gases and liquids at low dew points, and also acts as a catalyst carrier for chemical reactions.

Hygroscopic chemicals like this one are known for their high surface area and thermal shock tolerance, making them useful in minimizing fluoride and arsenic levels in water samples, or as bed support materials in production processes of hydrogen peroxide or polyethylene production processes.

Activated Alumina Balls Market Size

The global activated alumina ball market size is projected to experience rapid expansion due to increasing demand from various applications and investments made by key players in research and development to enhance product quality. Major application areas of activated alumina balls include air/natural gas, chemical industry, fertilizer industry and water treatment applications where their size 5-7mm balls provide ample surface area that absorbs impurities in gases.

Activated alumina balls can be used to filter industrial gases like sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx), while also decreasing fluoride and arsenic concentrations in wastewater treatment facilities. Furthermore, activated alumina balls have proven extremely helpful when air drying and using decolorization processes in dye extraction processes for industrial dyes.

Environmental concerns have contributed to an increased use of this material for water purification, while demand in the oil and gas industry for its ability to adsorb volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hydrocarbons is steadily growing.

The global activated alumina ball market is highly fragmented, with multiple players operating regional markets. Some major manufacturers include Honeywell UOP, Axens, BASF SE, Huber Porocel Industries Yingda Shanghai Jiuzhou Chemicals Sorbead India. Competition among key players for customers and product quality improvement remains fierce within this global industry.

Global Market Forecasts to 2021

Activated alumina is one of the leading adsorbents/desiccants used globally for moisture removal, purification and other treatments. Composed of highly porous aluminum oxide particles that work under both static and dynamic conditions, activated alumina has strong affinity towards water molecules such as oxygen oxides, acetic acid molecules as well as other polar molecules; its non-toxicity makes it tasteless while offering excellent ion exchange capabilities above 0.4 cm3/g entrance thresholds.

Alumina can be found in numerous applications, from compressed air drying and gas drying, purification of insulating oil, industrial oils and the petrochemical industry as well as removal of arsenic, fluoride and other impurities from water to being an integral component in Claus process for recovering sulphur from natural gas.

Actived alumina is widely known for its adsorption properties; however, its crushing strength and reversible pore size also allow it to withstand the pressures found in many industrial applications. Furthermore, its low vapor pressure and high surface area-to-mass ratio makes it suitable for compressed air drying applications.

Potassium permanganate impregnated activated alumina is an outstanding desiccant for many gasses such as carbon dioxide, propylene, butane and LPG. Furthermore, it helps reduce Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), Chlorine (Cl2) Formaldehyde (HCHO) and other airborne pollutants – it is even used by Claus for Sulphur recovery! In refineries.
