Activated alumina
Activated Alumina:
Activated alumina is a white, porous solid material made from aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) with an extremely high surface area.
Characteristics and Applications:
-
Water and Moisture Absorption: Used as a desiccant in various industries.
-
Adsorption of Contaminants and Metals: Applied to remove fluoride, sulfate, arsenic, and other ions from water and wastewater.
-
Catalyst and Catalyst Support: Used in chemical industries to accelerate reactions.
-
It has a porous structure filled with tiny pores, which enables high adsorption capacity.
