Activated Alumina Market - Forecast(2020 - 2025)
Activated alumina, manufactured from aluminum hydroxide, works by absorbing water from the air and thus keeping things dry. Activated alumina is produced by means of dehydroxylating aluminum hydroxide in a way that produces a highly porous material. The compound which is mainly used as a desiccant, also finds application as a filter of fluoride, selenium and arsenic. The compound has a very high surface-area-to-weight ratio. Activated alumina finds use in a wide range of catalyst and adsorbent applications including the adsorption of catalysts in production of polyethylene, in hydrogen peroxide production, as a selective adsorbent for a number of chemicals, and in sulfur removal from gas streams. The rising demand for water treatment globally coupled with the rising awareness for purification of drinking water in the developing regions is expected to drive the global activated alumina market during the forecast period. The demand for water treatment chemicals and tech...
