FAQs
What makes γ-alumina different from other alumina phases?
γ-alumina has a defective spinel structure that provides high surface area and thermal stability up to 800°C, unlike α-alumina which is more stable but less porous.
Can this alumina be used for both acid and base catalysis?
Yes, γ-alumina exhibits amphoteric properties, making it suitable for both acidic and basic catalytic reactions depending on the treatment and dopants used.
What particle size range does this product have?
The powder typically ranges between 50-200 microns, with the bimodal porosity providing both micro and mesopores for optimal catalytic performance.
Is this alumina suitable for high-pressure applications?
Absolutely. The material maintains structural integrity under high-pressure conditions common in industrial reactors and flow systems.
How should I store this catalyst support?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to moisture which can affect the surface properties and catalytic performance.
