Iranian Company Produces Gamma Alumina Oxide Nanopowder
“So far, we have succeeded in making over 50 products in the field of nanomaterials, and the company's knowledge-based product is nanopowder of gamma alumina oxide,” Nazanin Farhadyar, the managing director of the company, told ANA.
Noting that nanoalumina has wide applications in various industries due to its high hardness, thermal stability, and high specific surface area, she said, “This material is used in catalysts, wear-resistant coatings, and advanced ceramics. Nanoalumina is also used in the energy and environmental industries as an adsorbent and improver of mechanical properties.”
“Other products that have received license include copper nanopowder, zinc nanooxide, and copper nanooxide,” Farhadyar said.
“The company's field of activity includes the production of nanoparticles like silver nanoparticles, gold, titanium dioxide, and cellulose nanocrystals and chitosan, and these products have wide applications in various fields, including medicine, cosmetics, agriculture, and water purification,” she noted.
In a relevant development last year, a technological company in Iran had also produced alumina-based nanocatalysts, which have been utilized in different refineries and gas fields such as Ilam Refinery Co, Shahid Hasheminejad gas refinery, different phases of South Pars gas field and Khark Petrochemical company.
A technological company in Iran produces various types of nanocatalysts, including active alumina catalyst (conversion claus catalyst), active alumina catalyst modified by iron (oxygen scavenging type), and sulfur recovery catalyst.
The company’s production has met the country’s needs for such products.
The company’s catalysts have already been used in different refineries and gas fields such as Ilam Refinery Co, Shahid Hasheminejad gas refinery, different phases of South Pars gas field and Khark Petrochemical company.
