Activated alumina

Activated alumina (Al₂O₃) is a versatile, chemically inert material with high thermal and mechanical stability. Through controlled activation processes, its porosity and surface area are increased, making it ideal for adsorption, gas purification, and catalytic applications.

In industrial use, activated alumina is widely applied for the removal of acidic gases such as HCl from exhaust air and gas streams. Impregnation with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH) produces alkaline activated alumina, which offers efficient adsorption of hydrochloric acid and other acidic contaminants.

Selecting and optimizing the right activated alumina is critical for process performance. C&CS provides expert support, from product selection and system design to the reliable supply of tailored alumina solutions for gas purification and process industries.
