Description
MP EcoChrom™ Alumina A, Activity I are:
- Good ''all-round'' adsorbents for laboratory.
- Used as well as for industrial use.
- They can be adjusted to lower activity by the addition of polar media, preferably water, but also higher alcohols, e.g. glycol or glycerol can be used.
- An oxide of aluminum, occurring in nature as various minerals such as bauxite, corundum, etc.
It is used as:
- An adsorbent
- A desiccating agent
- A catalyst
- In the manufacture of dental cements and refractories
- Free flowing powder
Application Notes:
- MP EcoChrom™ Alumina A catalyses a variety of reactions that are useful industrially.
- It is widely used to remove water from gas streams.
- Also used for its hardness and strength.
- It is widely used as an abrasive, including as a much less expensive substitute for industrial diamond.
- Many types of sandpaper use aluminium oxide crystals.
- Acidic alumina, is the weakest and least often used type.
- Alumina is useful for separation of acid pigments and strong acids.
It can cause:
- Polymerization
- Condensation
- Dehydration reactions
Notes:
- Neither acetone nor ethyl acetate should be used as eluants, the latter being subject to saponification.
- As well, it is used as a dosimeter for radiation protection and therapy applications for its optically stimulated luminescence properties.
Usage Statement:
- Unless specified otherwise, MP Biomedical's products are for research or further manufacturing use only, not for direct human use.
