Activated Alumina
Part Number# C5-00010-55700 - (55lb bag)

Overall, it is probably the finest all purpose desiccant. It is ideal for drying air and most other gases at high relative humidity.

Advantages:

• Although prolonged exposure to liquid water will damage activated alumina, it is more resilient to water than silica gel or molecular sieve.
• Low pressure drop due to its spherical shape.
• High crush strength.
• Less expensive.
• Low abrasion rate.
• Long service life.

• Typical characteristics:

• · Activated alumina is primarily aluminum oxide (AL₂O₃).
• · Pore sizes: 4-22 angstroms (1 angstroms = 10^-8 cm)
• · SP. Heat: 0.22 BTU/Lb/^oF
• · Apparent Bulk Density: 48 Lbs/Cu. Ft.

• Pressure swing as well as thermal regeneration at 250F to 500F are both commonly used. With low inlet stream temperatures it can produce dew points down to -100F.
