Activated Alumina Balls - One and Only One Remedy for Solving Moisture Problems

Activated Alumina Balls? What is it?

Activated Alumina Balls are basically made up of Aluminium Hydroxide by dehydroxylation which produces highly porous material. This will have high surface area around 345-415 m²/gm.

Activated Alumina Balls is widely preferred due to its varied application and its high adsorption capacity. Activated Alumina Balls are used for a wide range of Adsorbent and Catalyst applications such as adsorption of polyethylene production, in hydrogen peroxide productions and also for removing access amount of Fluoride and Arsenic contents from water.

Activated Alumina when used as a desiccant, the process is called Adsorption. The air passes through alumina balls where the water that is present in the air gets stuck in alumina through the tiny passages through them, thus water molecules get trapped & thereby the air is dried out and passes through the filter. On regeneration desiccant i.e. by heating to -200°c it would release trapped water.

Mostly Activated Alumina for Air Drying/Desiccant Dryers namely Heatless Air Dryer, Heat of Compression Air Dryer and Heat Re-activated Air Dryer. Activated Alumina Balls would absorb moisture present in the Air and thereby would give dry air and is suitable for acquiring a Dew Point of -40°c. It would be advisable that the bed should be compactly filled so as to avoid air passing without being in touch with Alumina Balls.

Activated Alumina Balls are also used for reducing the access amount of Fluoride and Arsenic contents from water. Activated Alumina Balls has the capacity of reducing fluoride contents up to 0.1 ppm.
