Activated alumina is a material that is obtained by the elimination of hydroxyl group ion from the aluminum hydroxide. The compound is used as a catalyst, desiccant along with the filtration of arsenic, fluoride, and selenium from the drinking water. It comprises a high surface area to weight ratio on account of its pore structure that reduces the abrasion and effect of thermal shock, and further doesn’t soften, shrink, or swell when positioned in the water.
The global Activated Alumina market is expected to develop USD 1.80 Billion by 2030, at a compound annual increase in price (CAGR) of 5.9% throughout the forecast period.
Growing demand for purified water along with the rising utilization of the product across plastics industry is driving the industry size. Its capability to remove fluoride and other impurities from water to suffice the clean water requirement for different manufacturing process is augmenting the product demand. Furthermore, increasing government regulations to treat effluents and the adoption of standard water cleaning techniques to produce impurity-free product is positively influencing the product adoption.
