    Application
    Alumina (Gamma) Nanopowder is a highly versatile material characterized by its fine cubic crystalline structure, distinct from other forms of aluminum oxide. Its primary purpose lies in its considerable surface area and desirable pore structure, making it exceptionally suitable for use as an adsorbent and catalyst. In adsorption processes, it effectively removes moisture and other polar molecules from gases and liquids, enhancing purity and stability in various applications, including chromatography. As a catalyst, it plays a crucial role in chemical reactions like sulfur recovery, dehydration of alcohols, and olefin isomerization. Additionally, due to its compatibility as a catalyst support in petroleum refining, Alumina (Gamma) Nanopowder serves as a foundational component in advanced industrial processes. These characteristics are attributed to the presence of active surface sites, such as hydroxyl and aluminum ions, which facilitate its multifunctional capabilities.
