Calcined alumina oxide powder
Alumina, also known as activated alumina is manufactured from aluminium hydroxide by dehydroxylating it in a way that produces a highly porous material; this material can have a surface area significantly over 200 square meters/g. The compound is used as a (to keep things dry by absorbing water from the air) and as a of , and in . It is made of (alumina; Al2O3), the same chemical substance as and (but without the impurities that give those gems their color). It has a very high surface-area-to-weight ratio. That means it has a lot of very small pores, almost like tunnels, that run throughout it
The appearance is white crystal powder with uniform particle size, stable chemical property, good crystal phase stability, difficult to dissolve in acid and alkali, and has good sintering activity. Aluminum oxide can be used as raw material for preparing high purity aluminum oxide powder.
Aluminum oxide can be used in long afterglow phosphors, three color phosphor, abrasive materials, transparent ceramic lamp, high-pressure sodium lamp, catalyst carrier, EP-ROM window, crystal, ruby, sapphire crystal, electronic ceramics. It is widely used in electronics, chemicals, petroleum, refractories, ceramics, glass, plastics, textiles, building materials, abrasives, paper and medicine, and many other fields.
