How to Choose Alumina Ceramic Raschig Rings?
Alumina ceramic Raschig rings are widely used as tower packing in chemical and environmental industries for efficient gas-liquid mass transfer and separation. Key selection criteria include alumina content, physical strength, dimensions, and operating conditions. Alumina content (typically 92%-99%) directly impacts corrosion resistance and thermal stability, with high-purity variants suitable for highly corrosive or high-temperature environments (up to 1500°C). Mechanically, compressive strength should exceed 250MPa to minimize breakage. Sizing should correspond to column diameter and operational gas velocity, with common diameters ranging from 25-100mm. Smaller sizes provide higher surface area for enhanced mass transfer but increase pressure drop. Practical selection requires comprehensive evaluation of process conditions. For acidic/alkaline environments, high-purity alumina (e.g., 99% Al₂O₃) ensures chemical inertness. Thermal shock resistance must be verified for high-temperature ...
