Activated Alumina Market Driven by Water Treatment Applications
Global Activated Alumina Market: Demand Analysis and Growth Forecast
Activated alumina has been identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a Small System Compliance Technology (SSCT) for uranium, and can remove up to 99 percent of the contaminant, depending on pH and concentrations of competing ions. It is also effective at removing other ions such as arsenate, fluoride, sulfate, and selenate. Activated alumina is produced by the means of dehydroxylating aluminum hydroxide in a way that produces a highly porous material, and the demand for the product is expected to be driven primarily by the end-use industries in Asia Pacific region. Over the course of the forecast period of 2018 to 2023, IndustryARC report projects profitable progression in the activated alumina market.
Global Activated Alumina Market: Disruptive Trends
- With increasing population, water pollution is increasing, which in turn is generating the need for water purification. The use of activated alumina for water purification is seen as an efficient way to purify water. Additionally, raising awareness regarding the need for purification of drinking water in the developing regions is stroking the demand in the activated alumina market.
- The demand for water treatment for industrial applications and across oil and gas industries for gas and liquid drying applications
- The compound is used as a desiccant, which keeps things dry by absorbing water from the air.The reagent, more simply prepared from alumina and KOH, catalyzes the high-yielding addition of chloroform to m-nitrobenzaldehyde without producing side-products.
