What is the difference of inert ceramic ball and activated alumina ball ?

Inert ceramic ball and activated alumina ball are as catalyst carrier . but which are different in application and property. Chemshun Ceramics Manufacturer mainly produce alumina ceramic ball products , here it is pleasure to introduce the difference between inert and activated balls .

Activated alumina ball is a porous, highly dispersed solid material with a large surface area. Its microporous surface has the catalytic properties required for adsorption, surface activity, excellent thermal stability, etc., and has the strength It is widely used as a catalyst and a catalyst carrier for chemical reactions because of its high wear resistance, low water hardness, no swelling, no powdering and no cracking.

Inert ceramic ball referred to as inert porcelain ball, is made of high-quality chemical clay material processing, with high strength, high chemical stability and thermal stability characteristics. It can withstand high temperature, high pressure and acid, alkali, salt and various organic solvents corrosion, widely used in petroleum, chemical, fertilizer, natural gas and environmental protection industries. Inert alumina balls serve as a support and cover for the catalyst in the reactor to buffer the impact of liquids and gases entering the reactor on the catalyst, protecting the catalyst and improving the liquid and gas distribution within the reactor. Its main role is to increase the distribution point of gas or liquid, supporting and protecting the activity of the catalyst is not high intensity.

Chemshun supply more inert ceramic balls with alumina content of Al₂O₃ 17~23%, Al₂O₃ 92%, Al₂O₃ 99%, Al₂O₃ 99.5%. which can satisfy all the requirement in the columns.
