Iranian Company Produces Alumina Catalysts
With the improvements made in activated alumina and the use of nanotechnology, advanced types of this product are used as the main catalyst in the sulfur recovery process through Claus method.
Activated alumina is one of the most widely used absorbent materials in various industries and has been used for a long time in production of compressed air, oxygen generation, chlorine, fluorine and arsenic removal from gaseous and liquid compounds.
Specialists at Ardakan Industrial Ceramics (A.I.C) Company managed to produce iron-promoted active alumina catalyst and recovery catalyst.
Among the advantages of this type of catalysts are quality alignment, a much lower price compared to foreign samples and its availability to the consumers in Iran.
Oil, gas and petrochemical industries, steel and mining industries, tile and ceramic industries, compressed air industries and refractory industries are the main customers that consume the products of Ardakan Industrial Ceramics Company.
Active Alumina Catalyst Modified by Iron is used to prevent toxicity of active alumina catalyst. In the Claus process, some extra oxygen is generated which can inactivate the alumina catalyst. In fact, the reaction of O2 with SO2 on the alumina surface causes Sulphation of the alumina surface, which in turn prevents the reactions required for the conversion of H2S and CS2 in the Claus process. This issue is avoided by passing the gas through a deoxygenated catalytic substrate before the Claus process.
