What’s Activated Alumina?

Activated alumina is a porous aluminum oxide used as a desiccant, water treatment, and catalyst. It works by adsorption, binding to substances like water, arsenic, and fluoride. It is cost-effective for rural and small municipal water treatment and can also clean stormwater runoff and contaminated sites. It is used as a Claus catalyst in natural […]

What’s an Alumina Crucible?

An alumina crucible is a container made of alumina or aluminum oxide, used in chemistry labs for hot chemicals. It can withstand high temperatures up to 3272°F and comes in various shapes and sizes. Alumina is industrially refined from bauxite ore and can be produced in high purity for greater heat resistance. Alumina crucibles are […]

What’s Zirconia Alumina?

Zirconia alumina is a composite ceramic material made of aluminum oxide and zirconium oxide. Its force-induced transformation quenching process increases its strength, making it useful in sandblasting, casting, grinding wheels, and joint replacement. It is resistant to wear, corrosion, and high temperatures, making it ideal for industrial and medical applications. Zirconia alumina, also known as […]
