Properties

  • Composition: Made from high-purity alumina, typically containing over 99% Al₂O₃.
  • Durability: Highly resistant to chemical attack, high temperatures, and mechanical wear.
  • Low Density: Lighter than many other materials, which can help reduce overall system weight.
  • Inertness: Chemically inert, making them suitable for use in reactive environments.

Applications

  • Catalyst Support: Often used as a support medium for catalysts in reactors due to their uniform size and shape.
  • Adsorption: Serve as adsorbents in various separation processes.
  • Packing Material: Used in packed bed reactors and towers to enhance the surface area available for reactions.
