Product Overview

Aluminum oxide, active (basic) LR is a highly porous, granular form of aluminum oxide widely used in laboratory applications due to its exceptional adsorption properties. With a purity of 99%, this LR-grade material is specifically designed for chromatography, where it serves as a stationary phase for separating and purifying compounds. Its basic nature makes it particularly effective for adsorbing acidic substances, making it a versatile choice for dehydration processes and as a catalyst support. The fine powder form ensures a high surface area, maximizing interaction with target molecules. This product is chemically inert, thermally stable, and resistant to abrasion, ensuring consistent performance in demanding lab environments. Whether used in column chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, or as a drying agent, this aluminum oxide delivers reliable results with minimal impurities. Its uniform particle size distribution further enhances its efficiency in separation techniques, making it a staple in research and analytical laboratories.

FAQs

1. What is the pH range of basic aluminum oxide LR?

Basic aluminum oxide LR typically exhibits a pH range of 9-10 when suspended in water, making it suitable for adsorbing acidic compounds.

2. Can this aluminum oxide be used for gas drying applications?

Yes, its high porosity and affinity for water molecules make it effective for drying gases in laboratory settings.

3. How does the LR grade differ from AR or technical grades?
