Among industrial gas purification materials, 0.5-1mm activated alumina stands out, hailed as the "gold standard" for achieving high-efficiency, low-energy purification. It's more than just a material; it's an engineered solution to specific challenges. This article will delve into how this specific activated alumina specification has become an essential core element for deep-dive gas purification.
0.5-1mm activated alumina plays two key roles in gas purification:
1. Excellent Deep Desiccant
Working Principle: The surface of activated alumina has numerous polar micropores, possessing a strong affinity and adsorption capacity for water molecules. It can firmly capture water vapor in gases like a magnet, achieving deep dehydration and often lowering the gas dew point to -40°C or even lower.
Target Pollutant: Water vapor.
2. Highly Efficient Specialized Adsorbent
Working Principle: Utilizing its specific surface chemistry, it selectively adsorbs certain acidic pollutants and polar molecules in gases.
Target Pollutants: Hydrogen fluoride (HF), hydrogen chloride (HCl), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), etc.
Examples of core application scenarios:
1. Deep drying of compressed air and instrument air
Purpose: Removes moisture from compressed air to prevent moisture-induced corrosion, damage, and quality defects in precision instruments, pneumatic tools, and spray coating processes.
2. Dehydration and purification of natural gas pipelines
Purpose: Deeply dehydrates gas before long-distance transportation to prevent the formation of natural gas hydrates under high-pressure, low-temperature conditions, which can cause pipeline ice blockages and ensure the safety and smooth flow of the nation's energy arteries.
3. Purification of chemical cracking gas
Purpose: Deeply dry key chemical feedstock gases such as ethylene and propylene to protect expensive downstream polymerization catalysts and meet process requirements for high-purity products.
4. Air pretreatment for air separation units
Purpose: Thoroughly removes moisture and some carbon dioxide before air enters the cryogenic separation unit to produce oxygen and nitrogen, preventing freezing and blockage of equipment and pipelines.
5. Acid gas removal
Purpose: Effectively removes harmful substances such as hydrogen fluoride (HF) from process exhaust gases in specific industries such as aluminum electrolysis and fluorine chemicals to meet environmental emission requirements.
