Activated Alumina
Activated alumina is a very porous form of aluminum oxide of high surface area which adsorbs liquids and gases without any change in form. Activated alumina is a filter media made by treating aluminum ore so that it becomes porous and highly adsorptive. Activated alumina will not soften or disintegrate when immersed in liquids. Activated alumina may be regenerated to its original adsorption efficiency by heating to a temperature between 350-600°F (177-316°C).

About Activated Alumina:
Activated alumina is a ceramic compound used as a desiccant (to keep things dry by absorbing water from the air) and as a filter of fluoride, arsenic and selenium in drinking water. It is made of alumina (aluminum oxide; Al2O3),. Activated alumina has a very high surface-area-to-weight ratio. It contains very small pores withinit
Uses of Activated Alumina
Activated alumina is widely used to remove fluoride from drinking water, and to a lesser extent, other substances. Activated Alumina adsorbs liquids and gases with out any change in form. It does not soften or disintegrate when immersed in liquids
