Activated Alumina and Desiccants

As we know we can use activated alumina for the water purification process. To remove metal contaminants from water, some of the Activated Alumina Water Treatment Products combine chemisorption, physisorption, and particulate (or physical) filtration.  Because it offers various types of adsorptive sites.

Activated Alumina has lots of surface area and it adsorbs minerals in water better than most other materials. Its efficiency at removing zinc, lead, phosphates, copper, arsenic, and high levels of fluoride has been proven, and it can remove silica, mercury, selenium, and chromium. It is acting as an inert substance with less active.

Activated alumina is a kind of desiccant. It can be efficiently used in the process of potable water and a cleaner environment. At the point of entry or the point of use in the process of water filtration activated alumina can be used. Robust material will not deteriorate with backwash. Works across a broad range of water chemistries. Iron levels do not affect arsenic capacity.

Activated alumina is landfillable and disposable without any hazardous wastes. It is certified to NSF/ANSI standard 61, and successfully completed an EPA ETV project. Advantages of Activated Alumina AAFS50 in Water Redemption Applications. Some kind of Activated Alumina is iron enhanced activated alumina with high arsenic capacity and low cost make it the most economical adsorption route for arsenic removal.

Activated alumina is ideal and cost-effective like any other desiccants for a wide variety of uses including - Stormwater runoff, Remediation, Ballast water, Mine sites,  and Phosphate contaminated lakes. One another type of activated alumina is designed for single-pass use, landfill disposal passes both TCLP and California WET.

Activated Alumina desiccant has also proven efficient in remediation applications including groundwater site clean-ups and stormwater protection where metals including arsenic, zinc, silica, copper, lead, and selenium needs to be reduced. It has proven useful in phosphate and nitrate reduction.
