Alumina ceramics in the chemical industry

Aluminum oxide ceramics have various important applications in the field of chemical engineering, mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Chemical reaction vessel: Alumina ceramics are often used as materials for chemical reaction vessels due to their excellent chemical stability and corrosion resistance. In the chemical production process, containers need to withstand high temperature, high pressure, and corrosive media, and alumina ceramics can meet these requirements well, ensuring the safe and efficient conduct of chemical reactions.
Pipes and valves: In chemical pipeline and valve systems, alumina ceramics are also used. Its corrosion resistance and dimensional stability can ensure the long-term stable operation of pipeline and valve systems, prevent medium leakage and pollution, and ensure production safety and product quality.
Catalyst carrier: Alumina ceramics are often used as carrier materials for catalysts. It has a high specific surface area and a uniform pore structure, which can provide a large number of active surfaces and a uniform pore distribution, which is conducive to the adsorption and reaction activity of the catalyst, improving the efficiency and stability of the catalyst.
Filler materials: In chemical engineering, alumina ceramics are also commonly used as filler materials, such as packed towers, packed beds, etc. It has good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, can provide effective mass transfer and reaction surfaces, and helps with the separation, purification, and reaction of chemical substances.
Reactor insulation material: In high-temperature reactors, alumina ceramics are often used as insulation materials. Its excellent thermal conductivity and high temperature resistance can effectively isolate the high-temperature reactor and surrounding environment, protecting the safety of operators and equipment
