ceramic balls applications

What are the application areas of ceramic balls? This article mainly introduces the application of ceramic balls in the field of petrochemical industry, chemical industry,

Environmental protection and so on

Petrochemical field

Crude oil processing: In the crude oil refining process, inert alumina ceramic balls can be used for crude oil dehydration. Crude oil contains a certain amount of water, which will affect the subsequent processing process, the use of inert alumina ceramic balls as adsorbent, can effectively remove the water in the crude oil. At the same time, it can also be used for desulfurization process, adsorption of sulfur in crude oil, reduce the emission of sulfur dioxide during combustion, and improve the quality of oil products.

Catalytic cracking: As a catalyst carrier, inert alumina ceramic balls can provide a large specific surface area for the catalyst. In the catalytic cracking reaction, the catalyst needs to be evenly dispersed on the surface of the carrier to improve the activity and selectivity. The chemical stability of inert alumina ceramic balls can ensure that the catalyst can function normally under high temperature, high pressure and complex chemical environment, converting heavy oil into light oil, such as gasoline, diesel and so on.

Aromatics production: In the production process of aromatics, such as the synthesis of benzene, toluene, xylene, inert alumina ceramic balls can help adsorb and separate impurities in the reaction process to ensure the purity of the product.

Chemical industry

Synthetic ammonia industry: In the production of synthetic ammonia, the purification of hydrogen is a key step. Inert alumina ceramic balls can be used to absorb impurities in hydrogen, such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, etc., to prevent these impurities from toxic effects on the synthetic ammonia catalyst, so as to ensure the efficient ammonia reaction.

Organic synthesis: Many organic synthesis reactions need to be carried out in a dry environment, and inert alumina ceramic balls can be used as desiccant to remove water from the reaction system. For example, in the synthesis process of organic compounds such as esters and ethers, the use of inert alumina ceramic balls to dry the raw materials and reaction environment can improve the yield of the reaction and the quality of the product. At the same time, it can also be used as an adsorbent to separate and purify organic compounds, such as in the production of fine chemicals, adsorption of impurities in the product, and improve the purity of the product.

Fertilizer production: In the process of fertilizer production, such as the production of urea, compound fertilizer, etc., inert alumina ceramic balls can be used to dry raw materials and products. Taking urea production as an example, in the process of ammonia and carbon dioxide reaction to produce urea, the raw material gas needs to be dried, and the inert alumina ceramic ball can effectively remove the water in the raw material gas, improving the reaction efficiency and product quality.

Environmental protection field

Waste gas treatment: In industrial waste gas treatment, inert alumina ceramic balls can be used to adsorb harmful gases. For example, in the treatment of sulfur-containing waste gas, it can absorb acidic gases such as sulfur dioxide; In the treatment of organic waste gas, it can adsorb volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Through adsorption, pollutant emissions in the exhaust gas can be reduced and environmental protection emission standards can be achieved.

Sewage treatment: For heavy metal ions and organic pollutants in sewage, inert alumina ceramic balls also have a certain adsorption effect. Some specially treated inert alumina ceramic balls, whose surface has functional groups that can chemically react with heavy metal ions, can effectively remove heavy metal ions in sewage, such as mercury, cadmium, lead, etc. At the same time, organic pollutants in sewage, such as dyes, pesticides, etc., can also be removed by adsorption to purify sewage.
