AC10014 Alumina Catalyst Carrier Sphere

Alumina Catalyst Carrier Sphere Description

Al2O3, processed into spherical granules with diameters between 1 and 8 mm, establishes a consistent structural platform for catalyst applications. The material’s high purity (≥94%) minimises impurities, ensuring chemical inertness and thermal stability during reactions. The uniform sphere form supports efficient flow dynamics and optimal active surface exposure, which enhances catalyst performance in continuous processing environments. The controlled granule dimensions offer predictable behaviour when integrated into reactor systems.

Alumina Catalyst Carrier Sphere Applications

Industrial Applications
- Used as catalyst bed support in fluidised catalytic cracking units to achieve efficient reactant flow by leveraging uniform spherical granule dimensions.
- Applied as a catalytic support in oxidation processes to maintain reaction stability by utilising the inert surface properties of high purity alumina.

Chemical Processing
- Serves as a carrier in heterogeneous catalysis systems to enhance reaction kinetics by providing consistent porosity and structural integrity.
- Frequently used for fine chemical synthesis where controlled particle size ensures predictable performance and optimal mixing.

Alumina Catalyst Carrier Sphere Packing

Alumina Catalyst Carrier Sphere is packed in moisture-resistant, sealed bags enclosed within rigid, cushioned containers to reduce mechanical impact and contamination. The packaging incorporates anti-static and anti-contamination measures to sustain material integrity during transit. Storage is recommended in a dry, room-temperature environment. Custom packaging options, including bulk containment and tailored labelling, are available based on specific logistical requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the alumina purity impact catalyst performance?
A1: The ≥94% purity level minimises trace impurities that could alter the reaction environment, ensuring stable catalytic activity under high temperature and chemically aggressive conditions.

Q2: What quality control measures are applied during manufacturing?
A2: SAM employs X-ray diffraction (XRD) for phase verification and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for surface uniformity assessments. These steps confirm controlled granule dimensions and consistent Al2O3 composition.

Q3: Can the sphere dimensions be modified for specialised applications?
A3: Yes, the production process permits customisation within the 1–8 mm range, accommodating specific reactor designs and process requirements while maintaining material consistency.

Additional Information

Alumina ceramics such as this catalyst carrier sphere are integral to chemical processing due to their chemical inertness and high thermal stability. Their fabrication involves controlled sintering processes that produce uniform grain structures, which are crucial for maintaining consistent performance in temperature-sensitive operations.

In broader industrial contexts, the use of alumina in catalyst support applications demonstrates how material properties directly impact reaction efficiency and system reliability. Understanding these technical aspects aids in designing reactors that exploit the benefits of high purity, uniformly sized ceramic components.
