Optimize Your H₂O₂ Production: High-Performance Activated Alumina Solutions for the Anthraquinone Process
Activated Alumina For Hydrogen Peroxide Anthraquinone
In the global chemical industry, hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) stands as a critical and versatile green oxidant. The anthraquinone auto-oxidation process remains the most efficient and widely adopted method for its large-scale production. At the heart of this continuous cyclic process lies a crucial challenge: the inevitable formation and accumulation of anthraquinone degradation products.
These degradation compounds progressively reduce the working solution's oxygen-carrying capacity, leading to decreased yield, increased operational costs, and the need for frequent system maintenance. ZHENGZHOU MAHACO INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. provides targeted, high-performance Activated Alumina solutions designed specifically to address this core inefficiency, enhancing the productivity and profitability of your hydrogen peroxide plant.
Core Application: Dual Roles in the Anthraquinone Process
Our specialized Activated Alumina plays two pivotal roles within the hydrogen peroxide production cycle:
1. As a High-Efficiency Regeneration Agent for Working Solution
The continuous hydrogenation and oxidation cycles generate unwanted degradation byproducts. Our Activated Alumina balls are engineered as a superior adsorbent for anthraquinone degradation products. They selectively and effectively remove these contaminants from the working solution (the organic mixture of anthraquinones and solvents), thereby:
Restoring the Effective Anthraquinone (EAQ) concentration.
Maintaining optimal hydrogenation efficiency.
Extending the operational life of the working solution and reducing waste.
2. As a Superior Catalyst Support for Hydrogenation
The hydrogenation step is critical. Our high-purity, high-surface-area Activated Alumina serves as an exceptional catalyst carrier, typically for palladium (Pd) catalysts. Its properties ensure:
Excellent dispersion of active precious metals, maximizing catalyst activity and utilization.
High mechanical strength and attrition resistance, crucial for withstanding the physical stresses in fixed-bed or slurry reactors.
Thermal and chemical stability under process conditions, leading to longer catalyst life and consistent performance.
Why Choose MAHACO's Activated Alumina for Your Plant?
Conventional alumina materials can fall short, often exhibiting issues like rapid attrition, insufficient adsorption capacity, or pore structure mismatch. MAHACO's products are formulated to overcome these limitations.
Tailored Pore Structure: We engineer our alumina with a specific pore size distribution and high surface area (typically 280-350 m²/g) to optimize the adsorption of various degradation molecule sizes and provide an ideal scaffold for catalyst metals.
Exceptional Physical Strength: Our high crush strength (>100 N/ball) and low abrasion loss ensure minimal dust formation and pressure drop in columns, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
High Chemical Purity & Stability: With Al₂O₃ content exceeding 92%, our alumina ensures no harmful impurities leach into your sensitive working solution or poison your expensive catalyst.
Proven Regeneration Capability: The spent alumina, saturated with degradation products, can often be thermally regenerated multiple times, offering a more economical and sustainable lifecycle.
