Overview of inert filled ceramic balls

Inert filled ceramic ball is a kind of ceramic material ball mainly used to fill in all kinds of industrial equipment (such as reactors, adsorption towers, dryers, etc.), its role is to provide specific physical environment assistance for the reaction, adsorption and other processes in the equipment, and it usually does not participate in chemical reactions in the relevant process, maintain chemical inertia, so it is named.

Inert filling ceramic ball action

Supporting role: In all kinds of fixed bed reactors, adsorption towers, drying towers and other equipment, inert filled ceramic balls are placed at the bottom or layered laying, used to support the upper loaded catalysts, adsorbents and other active substances, to prevent them from breaking, sinking and stacking due to their own weight or fluid impact, to ensure that the reaction or adsorption process can be uniform and stable.

Dispersion fluid: it can make the gas or liquid flowing through the uniform distribution, avoid the phenomenon of local flow rate too fast or too slow, so that the fluid and the catalyst, adsorbent and other adequate and uniform contact, improve the reaction efficiency or adsorption effect. For example, in chemical synthesis reactions, uniformly dispersed fluids help reactants participate more fully in the reaction and improve product yield.

Improve mass and heat transfer: through the regular spherical structure and reasonable laying mode, help heat transfer in the reaction system, so that the temperature distribution is more uniform; At the same time, it is also conducive to the mass transfer process of substances in different phases (such as gas-solid, liquid-solid), and promotes the rapid progress of the reaction. In petrochemical hydrofining and other reaction processes, good mass and heat transfer effect can improve product quality.

Applications of Inert filling ceramic balls

Chemical industry: In the process of chemical synthesis reaction and chemical product refining, as a medium to support and improve mass and heat transfer, it is used in various reactors, separation towers and other equipment to ensure efficient and stable chemical reactions.

Oil and natural gas industry: In the petroleum refining, natural gas processing and other links, fill in the relevant equipment, auxiliary catalysts play a role in improving the efficiency of crude oil conversion, natural gas purification effect.

In the field of environmental protection: in the adsorption equipment for waste gas and wastewater treatment, the high specific surface area is used to adsorb pollutants and help purify the environmental media.

Inert filling ceramic ball specification model

Inert filled ceramic balls have a variety of specifications to choose from, the common diameter specifications range from 3mm to 50mm, according to the specific industrial application scenario, equipment size and process requirements to choose the appropriate diameter inert filled ceramic balls. For example, in small laboratory-scale reaction devices, inert filled ceramic balls with a smaller diameter (such as 3mm-10mm) may be selected; In large reactors for large-scale industrial production, products with larger diameters (such as 20mm-50mm) may be selected to achieve the best support, dispersion and other effects.

In short, although inert filled ceramic balls seem simple, they play an indispensable role in many industrial production processes, and are important auxiliary materials to ensure the efficient and stable operation of various chemical, petroleum and other industrial devices.
