What is activated alumina for hydrogen peroxide?

2025-08-11

Activated alumina, as an indispensable functional material, plays a vital role in the production and purification of hydrogen peroxide. Its unique physical and chemical properties enable it to effectively guarantee hydrogen peroxide production efficiency and product quality, making it a key technical support in this field.

Hydrogen peroxide production places stringent technical requirements on activated alumina. Ideal specialized activated alumina requires high chemical purity, with particularly strict control of heavy metal content to avoid ineffective catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Furthermore, the material's surface must maintain neutral properties to minimize the impact of alkaline environments on hydrogen peroxide stability. The design of its pore structure is also crucial, balancing mass transfer efficiency with specific surface area to ensure effective adsorption of impurities during production. Furthermore, an extremely low dissolution rate prevents contamination of the product by the material's own components, ensuring the high purity of the hydrogen peroxide.

Key Role in the Production Process

In the anthraquinone-based hydrogen peroxide production process, activated alumina performs three primary functions:

Working Fluid Regeneration: Selectively adsorbs degradation products generated during the production process, restoring the working fluid's activity;

Impurity Removal: Effectively intercepts byproducts such as organic acids and esters, significantly improving product purity;

Stabilizer Carrier: Serves as an ideal stabilizer carrier, slowing the natural decomposition rate of hydrogen peroxide.

Technical Advantages

Selective Adsorption:

The adsorption capacity for degradation products is over five times that of effective anthraquinone.

Regeneration Performance:

Can be regenerated by hot nitrogen purge, with a service life of 3-5 years.

Safety and Compatibility:

Does not undergo an oxidation reaction with H₂O₂, eliminating the risk of combustion or explosion.

The outstanding advantage of activated alumina for hydrogen peroxide lies in its exceptional selective adsorption capacity, which effectively distinguishes the active ingredient from degradation products. The material exhibits excellent regeneration performance and can be recycled multiple times through specialized regeneration processes, significantly reducing production costs. In terms of safety, its chemical stability ensures that it will not react dangerously with hydrogen peroxide, fully complying with chemical production safety standards.
