Activated alumina (composed mainly of aluminum oxide, Al2O3) is a porous material and an effective adsorbent medium to reduce the concentration of fluorides in water, to levels that comply with the permissible limit established by the 2000 Modification of the NOM-127-SSA1-1994, which is 1.5 mg / L. This material was patented in 1936 in the United States of America and has been used since 1940 to reduce the fluoride concentration in water (Rubel and Hathaway, 1984). You can see activated alumina in 25kg bags in our store, we offer various sizes and sell wholesale.
Industries that use activated alumina
Activated alumina displays its potential in a wide range of industries. From gas and liquid purification to catalyst production, it plays a fundamental role in key processes. Sectors such as the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food, and water treatment industries turn to activated alumina to optimize their operations, improve product quality, and meet rigorous safety and efficiency standards.
Use of activated alumina in water treatment
One of the areas where activated alumina shines is in water treatment. Its ability to adsorb impurities, heavy metals, and organic compounds makes it an invaluable tool for purifying drinking, industrial, and wastewater. From removing contaminants to reducing turbidity, activated alumina offers effective and sustainable solutions to address water quality challenges.
