Activated Alumina Desiccant Pellets – 1/4 Inch Diameter

Description

Activated Alumina Desiccant Pellets are highly porous, high-capacity moisture absorbers engineered for efficient drying, purification, and filtration processes. Each pellet, with an average diameter of 1/4 inch, ensures superior airflow and adsorption performance, making it ideal for both small-scale and large-scale applications.

Applications of Activated Alumina Desiccant Pellets (1/4 Inch)

Air Drying and Moisture Control

• Removes moisture in compressed air dryers, dehumidifiers, and HVAC systems.

Water Treatment

• Removes fluoride, arsenic, and heavy metals in drinking water and wastewater treatment systems.

Gas Drying

• Dehydrates gases like natural gas, nitrogen, oxygen, and LPG to prevent freezing and corrosion.

Chemical and Petrochemical

• Used as a catalyst support and for solvent drying in chemical processes.

Desiccant Applications

• Protects moisture-sensitive products in packaging, shipping containers, and storage tanks.

Pharmaceuticals

• Moisture control in tablet production and chemical purification.

Electronics and Aerospace

• Prevents moisture damage in electronic components and cabin air systems.

Food and Beverage

• Extends shelf life as a packaging desiccant and purifies process gases.

Storage Instructions:

1. Keep Dry: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent premature moisture absorption.
2. Airtight Containers: Keep the pellets in sealed, airtight packaging (HDPE pails, bags, or drums) when not in use.
3. Avoid Moisture Exposure: Do not expose the product to open air or humidity during storage, as Activated Alumina will absorb moisture from the environment.
4. Temperature: Maintain a storage temperature between 5°C to 25°C (41°F to 77°F).
5. Separation: Store away from water, acids, and strong alkaline substances to maintain chemical integrity.

Handling Instructions:

1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
   • Wear safety goggles, gloves, and a dust mask when handling to prevent eye irritation and inhalation of dust.
2. Minimize Dust:
   • Handle gently to minimize the formation of dust, which can cause respiratory irritation.
3. Avoid Water Contact:
   • Do not add water directly to the pellets unless regenerating under controlled conditions.
4. Safe Transfer:
   • Use clean, dry tools or scoops to transfer the product into systems or equipment.

Regeneration:

• Procedure: Heat Activated Alumina pellets to 200°C–300°C (392°F–572°F) to remove absorbed moisture and restore adsorption capacity.
• Safety: Use appropriate equipment and ensure the process is carried out in a well-ventilated area or controlled environment.

Disposal of Activated:

• Dispose of used Activated Alumina in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
• Avoid releasing the material into drains, soil, or waterways.
