Calcined active α-alumina microspheres

Calcined active α-alumina microspheres

Catalyst Carrier
After high temperature calcination, the quality is extremely hard, but it has a special specific surface area, pore volume and pore size. It can eliminate the diffusion effect in the gap. In the process for selective oxidation, it can reduce the side reactions of deep oxidation, and can form a special shell structure during the impregnation process, which effectively improves the reaction performance.
