Inert ceramic ball vs ceramic balls

Inert ceramic ball is a kind of ceramic ball, and ceramic ball can be divided into three categories of packing, grinding, heat storage, inert ceramic ball emphasizes the stability of chemical properties, grinding ceramic ball emphasizes the grinding performance, heat storage ceramic ball emphasizes the storage of heat, the following mainly introduces the difference and role of the three.

Inert ceramic ball: widely used in oil refinery, aromatics plant, natural gas plant, fertilizer plant, methanol plant, ammonia plant and other petroleum, chemical industry, fertilizer, environmental protection and other industries of various reactors, adsorbers, as a support, cover filling material, to protect the catalyst, buffer, filter the role. It is characterized by high temperature and high pressure resistance, low water absorption and stable chemical properties. It can withstand corrosion by acids, alkalis and other organic solvents, and can withstand temperature changes in the production process.

Grinding ceramic ball: Grinding ceramic ball is used for ball mill, pot mill, vibration mill and other fine grinding equipment grinding body. Grinding ceramic ball has the advantages of high hardness, high volume density, corrosion resistance, etc. Its crushing efficiency and wear resistance are much better than ordinary spherical stone or natural pebbles, and it is widely used in ceramics, glass, enamel, pigments, chemicals and other industries. According to the different AL2O3 content, grinding ceramic balls are divided into silicon carbide grinding porcelain balls, microcrystalline aluminum grinding porcelain balls, high aluminum grinding porcelain balls.

Thermal storage ceramic ball:‌ is a filling material used in thermal storage systems, usually made of ceramic and having the shape of a sphere. Its main role is to store and release heat energy to meet the heat demand, the advantages of heat storage ceramic balls: high heat storage capacity, can store a lot of heat energy at high temperatures. Efficient energy conversion, with good thermal conductivity, to achieve efficient energy conversion. ‌

The difference between inert alumina porcelain ball and activated alumina porcelain ball

Inert alumina porcelain balls are ordinary porcelain balls used as isolators before and after loading the catalyst layer in the reaction. Will not react with the material, play a protective role. The activated alumina ceramic ball has a certain adsorption effect and can be used to adsorb some polar substances. Simply put, activated alumina is active and will react with the material.

In addition, activated alumina is generally not called porcelain ball, inert alumina is called porcelain ball.
