What is Activated Alumina?

Activated alumina, also known as alumina or Al₂O₃, is a solid form of aluminum oxide. It is highly porous, possesses high resistance to thermal shock, great selectivity, excellent absorption rate, exhibits great surface area, high pole-molecular absorbent characteristic, etc. It does not soften, sell or shrink when immersed in water. The product is popularly used in water treatment and oil & gas industries.
