Alumina

Activated Alumina for Adsorption, Drying & Purification

Activated alumina is a high-surface-area, porous form of aluminum oxide widely used in gas and liquid purification, drying, and catalytic processes. Its stability, uniform pore structure, and high crush strength make it ideal for demanding industrial environments - from chromatography and gas dehydration to catalyst support and trace contaminant removal.

Common Applications

  • Gas & air drying: Removes moisture from compressed air, natural gas, and process streams to prevent corrosion and system fouling.
  • Liquid dehydration: Efficiently adsorbs water from solvents, fuels, and process liquids.
  • Purification & polishing: Captures fluorides, sulfur compounds, and other polar impurities in liquid or vapor phases.
  • Chromatography & separation: Used as a stationary phase in analytical and industrial purification systems.
  • Catalyst & support media: Provides a stable substrate for chemical reactions, reforming, or desulfurization catalysts.

Why Choose Sorbents Direct

  • Multiple grades & particle sizes: From fine powders to 1/8" and 1/4" beads for drying towers and packed columns.
  • Technical consistency: High crush strength and low dusting for reliable performance in continuous-flow systems.
  • Custom packaging options: Available in 25 kg bags, 100 kg drums, and supersack formats.
  • Fast turnaround: Most quotes and orders processed within 24 hours.
