Main applications of catalyst carriers

2025-07-30

In the field of catalyst materials, alumina has become one of the most commonly used carriers in industrial catalysis due to its high specific surface area, excellent thermal stability and controllable surface acidity. From oil refining to environmental protection, from chemical production to new energy development, alumina carriers support many key chemical reactions with their excellent performance, and can be called the "behind-the-scenes hero" of modern industry.

Petrochemicals:

In the process of oil processing, alumina carriers are widely used in key links such as catalytic cracking and hydrofining. As the matrix of cracking catalysts, alumina can effectively disperse active components, improve the conversion efficiency of heavy oil, and promote the production of light oil products. At the same time, in the hydrodesulfurization process of diesel and gasoline, metal-loaded alumina carriers can significantly reduce the sulfur content and meet the production needs of clean fuels.

Environmental protection:

Alumina carriers play an important role in automobile exhaust treatment and catalytic purification of industrial waste gas. Its high specific surface area and high temperature resistance make it an ideal carrier, which can efficiently catalyze the conversion of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides, helping to reduce air pollution. In addition, in the catalytic combustion of volatile organic compounds, alumina-based catalysts also show excellent degradation performance.

Chemical production:

In the fields of fine chemicals and organic synthesis, the surface acidity and pore structure of alumina carriers can significantly affect the selectivity of catalytic reactions. For example, in olefin isomerization, alcohol dehydration and esterification reactions, modified alumina carriers can accurately control the reaction path and improve the yield of target products. In addition, alumina is often used to support precious metal or transition metal catalysts for the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and specialty chemicals.

New energy and new materials:

With the rapid development of the hydrogen energy industry, the application of alumina carriers in water electrolysis and fuel cell catalysts has attracted increasing attention. At the same time, in the field of energy storage, alumina-based materials are also being explored for new energy storage systems such as lithium-sulfur batteries to inhibit the shuttle effect of polysulfides.

Summary:

As an important cornerstone of industrial catalysis, the application of alumina carriers in energy, environmental protection, chemical industry and other fields continues to deepen. With the advancement of materials science, its performance will be further improved, providing solid support for more efficient and clean catalytic processes.
