Release time:2019-10-09 17:04:36
Product use: catalyst, catalyst carrier, gas and liquid desiccant, gas purification adsorbent, drinking water defluoridation agent, industrial sewage color and odor eliminating agent.
Existing preparation techniques and problems: The existing alumina microsphere preparation process is as follows:
raw material | Disadvantage | |
1、Spray drying | Mixture of alumina powder and aluminum sol | Uniform particle distribution, single product |
2、Rolling ball | Mixture of alumina powder and aluminum sol | Large particle size, single product |
3、Oil column forming |
a mixture of aluminum sol and gelling agent,
An organic amine is dissolved in the oil column as an auxiliary gelling agent.
|
Severe energy consumption, ammonia corrosion equipment generated in the process, single product |
The present technology and features: The technology uses an industrial grade aluminum sol as an aluminum source, and uses a special curing agent (about 10 wt%) to prepare alumina microspheres using a microfluidic molding technique.
The technical features are:
Product microsphere size is uniform
High product packing density
Production can be adjusted flexibly
Can prepare a variety of microspheres from solid to hollow
Microsphere size can be adjusted between 50 microns and 2 mm by process parameters and microfluidic device channel size
