Will activated alumina ball desiccant fail when exposed to water

Everyone knows that activated alumina desiccant is to adsorb water in the air, which is liquid water.

If liquid water encountered, will the performance of the activated alumina ball desiccant change?

Will the adsorption capacity fail? With this question in mind, let’s first take a detailed look at the characteristics of activated alumina balls.


Activated alumina is an adsorbent with particularly strong selective adsorption ability for water.

It does not break or pulverize after absorbing water, and does not become soft.

It does not react in acidic or alkaline solutions.

If the water pore size of the activated alumina ball desiccant saturate, it can be regenerative at high temperature. Then it can remove water from the cavity and restore its adsorption capacity.

Therefore, the activated alumina ball desiccant can reuse repeatedly.
In addition to the above characteristics, the smaller the particle size of activated alumina, the better the adsorption effect.

Both granular activated alumina balls and molecular sieves have the same function and can be used for water treatment.

The Microporous Structure of Activated Alumina ball

Physical adsorption mainly occurs in the abundant micropores of activated alumina spheres, which are to remove impurities from water and air.

The molecular diameter of these impurities must be smaller than the pore size of activated alumina spheres.

Impurities in the medium continuously enter the porous structure of activated alumina spheres through physical and chemical adsorption, causing saturation of adsorption and a decrease in adsorption efficiency.

Granular carbon is not easily lost, can be recycled and reused, and is used in water treatment processes with light pollution that require continuous operation.


So activated alumina balls will not fail when they come into contact with water and can be reused after repeated regeneration.
