Activated Alumina is manufactured from Aluminum Hydroxide by dihydroxylation it in a way that produces a highly porous material. This material can have a surface area significantly over 250 square metres/g. The compound is used as a desiccant to keep things dry by absorbing water from the air.
Much like Activated Carbon, the high surface area and porosity exhibited by Activated Alumina allows it to capture and hold on to various types of materials, lending it to be employed as an adsorbent, desiccant, and more.
Applications
The primary ways in which Activated Alumina products are used include:
- Activated Alumina is the most commonly used Claus catalyst in Sulfur recovery endeavors at oil and gas refineries
- Gas Dehydration
- Hydrogen Purification (PSA)
- Air Drying and Separation
- As a Catalyst Carrier
- As a Guard Layer in Gas Dehydration
- Oxidation Reaction
- Dehalogenation Reaction
