Aluminum Oxide( Al2O3) Nanopowder Applications
• Industrial catalyst. Gamma-phase aluminum oxide nanoparticles can be formed into highly catalytic honeycomb and microporoous structures,
making it an ideal nanomaterial for use as an industrial catalyst. Of particular interest are its use and potential in the refining and purification of
petroleum products and their waste exhaust.
• Analytical reagent. The unique properties of gamma-phase aluminum oxide makes it of particular interest in chemical analysis, study of chemical reactions, and certain testing apparatus.
• Petrochemical engineering. Recent research indicates special applications of gamma alumina nanoparticles in petrochemical engineering, including a specific usage in low-salinity waterflooding for enhanced oil recovery.
• Production of synthetic gems. While natural corundum is composed of alpha-phase aluminum oxide, gamma-phase aluminum oxide plays a crucial role in the production of high-grade synthetic sapphires via thermal melting methods. The importance of synthetic sapphire in modern nanotechnology has made gamma-phase alumina of particular interest as a nanomaterial.
• Ceramic membranes. Research into the potential of gamma-phase alumina in the production of ceramic membranes for nanofiltration has shown interesting initial results. Early findings suggest a potential role in environmental processes.
