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 Balls
Comparative to other ceramic materials, alumina stands out for its greater resistance to acids and other chemicals, making it well suited for use in hydrocarbon applications with harsh environments and extreme temperatures. Alongside its chemical inertness, alumina boasts strong mechanical strength which allows it to withstand higher temperatures without degrading or breaking down over time.
Many customers can become confused over the difference between inert ceramic ball and activated alumina balls, both containing aluminum oxide. While both products contain this element, each has different applications: inert ceramic balls have Al2O3 purity levels of 17-19% to 23-26% with 30%, 40% and 92% purity respectively – making it inert and unlikely to react with other chemicals; activated alumina powders contain activated carbon which absorb substances.
Inert Alumina Balls
Inert alumina is a material with exceptional chemical and thermal stability, offering resistance against acids, alkalis, salts and organic solvents. As such it has become widely used as covering and supporting material of catalyst in industries including oil refineries, chemical engineering, fertilizer production, natural gas exploration & environmental protection as well as tower packing applications. Furthermore, inert alumina boasts characteristics of high temperature/pressure resistance, low rate of water absorption rate, stable chemical characteristics as well as being capable of withstanding temperature shifts during production processes.
Alumina inert ceramic balls are used in several industrial processes, including hydrocracking, hydrogenation and catalytic oxidation. Their high purity helps lower risk of impurities entering into the catalyst bed during production – crucial in achieving maximum results and performance.
Inert alumina material provides superior corrosion resistance, which is crucial in settings like refineries or industries dealing with harsh chemicals or high temperatures. This ability protects chemical reactions and processes from being interrupted by unwanted reactions which could harm or poison catalysts and materials present within equipment.
Additionally, inert alumina balls possess excellent compressive strength and thermal shock tolerance – two features essential to refineries and other industries as they prevent cracking or breaking during sudden changes in pressure or temperature of equipment or surrounding environments.
Alumina inert ceramic balls offer numerous advantages to industries, especially pharmaceutical ones, by not reacting with various acids, solvents, bases or compounds found within. This helps keep medication effective over longer periods of time without losing its efficacy.
Inert alumina can also be used as desiccants, providing long-term moisture removal from products like electronics and food during shipping and storage. Alumina inert ceramic balls have proven especially effective against high humidity levels as desiccants.
