Inert Ceramic ball vs. Activated Alumina Balls: Understanding Distinctions

Inert Ceramic Ball has high crush strength and inert characteristics with stable chemical function. It can withstand high temperature and pressure with minimal water absorption and can stand up against acid, alkali and organic solvents. These characteristics help prevent plugging of the bed during production, reduce pressure drops due to temperature cycling and safeguard the catalyst’s health, thus cutting operating expenses while optimizing production output. Activated Alumina is an extremely porous form of aluminum oxide with an extensive surface area, possessing high adsorption capacities to serve as both an adsorbent and desiccant. Furthermore, due to its thermal stability and chemical inertness, activated alumina balls have also become popular as a catalyst carrier.

Activated Alumina – What Are Its Industrial Uses?

Activated alumina is a highly porous form of aluminum oxide with numerous industrial applications. Its water purifying capabilities make it perfect for use as an adsorbent; additionally, its desiccant properties make it effective against humidity build-up. Furthermore, activated alumina serves as an efficient material for clearing away toxic waste or cleaning up industrial sites. Always wear personal protective equipment when handling activated alumina and ensure the working area is sufficiently ventilated in order to reduce dust particles inhalation.
