Activated Alumina is a porous aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) material with high surface area and strong adsorption capacity. It’s available in spheres, pellets, or powder, widely used for drying, water treatment, and as a catalyst carrier.

2. How is Activated Alumina different from regular alumina?

Regular alumina (like α-Al₂O₃) has low surface area and is mainly used in ceramics and abrasives.
Activated Alumina (like γ-Al₂O₃) has a high surface area (200–400 m²/g) and is ideal for adsorption and catalysis.

3. What are the key features of Activated Alumina?

– High surface area (200–400 m²/g)

– Porous structure (micro, meso, and macropores)

– Strong adsorption for water, fluoride, and organics

– Good thermal stability (up to 600°C)

– Resistant to acids and bases (but avoid strong acids/alkalis)

4. How is Activated Alumina made?

Common methods include:

– Calcining aluminum hydroxide

– Sol-gel process for high-purity grades

– Precipitation and calcination

– Pore adjustment using additives

5.What are the main uses of Activated Alumina?

– Desiccant: For drying gases, air, and natural gas

– Water treatment: Removes fluoride and heavy metals

– Catalyst carrier: For petrochemicals and automotive catalysts

– Other: Chromatography, pharmaceuticals, electronics

6.Why is Activated Alumina effective in water treatment?

Its surface hydroxyl groups allow it to adsorb:

Fluoride

Arsenic, lead, and other metals

Phosphate (to prevent algae growth)

7. How does Activated Alumina work as a desiccant?

It physically adsorbs water due to its porous structure:

Higher water capacity than silica gel

Heat-resistant and reusable

Ideal for deep drying (dew points below -70°C)

8.How do you regenerate Activated Alumina?

Thermal: Heat at 150–300°C for 2–4 hours

Chemical: Use acid or alkali solutions for certain applications
Note: Avoid overheating (>600°C) to prevent pore collapse.

9.What is the service life of Activated Alumina?

Depends on application:

Gas drying: 3–5 years with regular regeneration

Water treatment: 6–12 months, then replace

Catalyst use: Replace or regenerate as needed

10. Is Activated Alumina safe?

Yes. Food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade products are safe for drinking water treatment.
Tip: Avoid inhaling dust—wear a mask during handling.

11. How to select the right Activated Alumina?

Desiccant: High surface area (>300 m²/g), 3–5 mm size

Water treatment: High fluoride capacity, good pH stability

Catalyst carrier: Specific pore size, high mechanical strength
