Activated Alumina Balls Are a Must For Chemical Industry to Maintain the Dryness

It is said that ‘necessity is the mother of invention’. Humans have always been producing or inventing newer things to meet their requirements. This following article will tell you about one such invention of humans which may not be so useful for regular household uses but it has a large role to play in industrial sectors especially in sectors like chemical, petrochemical, fertilizer, air, and gas, etc. Ok, let’s not create any more mist about this. I am talking about ‘Activated Alumina Balls’. You might have not heard the name but it is a very important element in industrial sectors.

Activated Alumina Ball is manufactured from Aluminium hydroxide. This chemical element is turned into a highly absorbent product through the dehydroxylation process. This new porous element is used to keep everything dry by absorbing moisture from the air. It is also used as a filter of arsenic and selenium in drinking water. The key chemical compound is Aluminium Oxide (Al2O3). The surface area of this element is very high because of its pores.
 
Due to its high capability of absorbing water from the air, this element is a must in places where area cleanliness and product dryness is important. Basically Aluminium Oxide is heated at a high temperature to produce Alumina ball. Some of the characteristics of this ball are it is fragrance-free, non-toxic, insoluble and tasteless. All these features make it a perfect choice for the chemical and acid industry where moisture can often change the characteristics of any element of different chemical reactions. These balls have frequent use in absorbing polluted materials like hydrogen sulphide, sulphur oxide, hydrogen fluoride, etc. These balls are also used for drying various chemical elements like ethylene, propylene, hydrogen and other elements.

Alumina balls can be different in terms of size and shapes. Basically the size and shape depend on the specific requirements of the industry. These balls never shrink, swell or become soften in any situation which makes these balls a perfect solution for preserving products from damages caused by water or moisture, etc.

Let’s have a look at some of the key advantages of this ball. All right so here we go.

1) These balls are often used as a solid air dryer system.
2) These are also used for the purpose of drying unrefined liquid.
3) These balls have a large use as a purifying agent in many industries.
4) These are used to dry substances like hydrogen, oxygen, CO2, Nitrogen, etc.

Considering the increasing demand for these balls in the industry area, many companies in India are now manufacturing these balls and not only that these are also being exported in other countries as well. For more information.
