How much is the price of alumina ceramic balls per ton or per kilogram? What are the main factors affecting its price? What should be noted when purchasing? A professional alumina ceramic ball factory will answer these questions for you.

Price

Note: The above are approximate wholesale prices. The retail price will be higher due to increased transportation costs. For the specific price of alumina ceramic balls, please contact us for an accurate quotation (lizhi@pxball.cn).

Factors Affecting Price

• Alumina Content: The higher the alumina content, the better the temperature resistance and corrosion resistance of the ceramic balls, and the higher the price. For example, the price of high-alumina ceramic balls with 99% purity is much higher than that of low-alumina ceramic balls.
• Specification and Size: Different specifications (such as 3mm, 6mm, 25mm, etc.) correspond to different production processes, and the prices will also vary. Larger sizes require more raw materials, so the production cost increases accordingly.
• Order Quantity and Transportation: Bulk purchases usually enjoy discounts, while the unit price of small orders is higher. In addition, transportation costs and regional differences are also important factors affecting the final price.

Precautions for Purchasing Alumina Ceramic Balls

• Confirm Alumina Content and Material: Verify whether the alumina content of the selected ceramic balls meets your actual application needs. For high-temperature, high-pressure, and strong-corrosion environments, it is recommended to choose ceramic balls with high alumina content (such as 90% and above) to ensure service life and durability.
• Select Appropriate Size: The size of the ceramic balls should be determined according to the specifications of the reactor or equipment. Choosing the wrong size may lead to uneven fluid distribution, excessive pressure drop, and even affect the reaction effect.
• Quality Certification and Brand: Try to select manufacturers with quality certifications (such as ISO 9001, CE, etc.). Suppliers with well-known brands usually provide more stable quality and after-sales support.
• Purchase Quantity and Price Negotiation: If you have large-scale procurement needs, you can negotiate the price with the supplier to obtain more discounts. In addition, long-term cooperative customers may enjoy wholesale prices or special preferential treatment.

2. Catalyst Support Media Ceramic Balls

Definition
Catalyst support media ceramic balls are inert or active ceramic fillers made from alumina, silica, or other composite oxides as the main raw materials through high-temperature sintering. They have the characteristics of high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and stable chemical properties. They are mainly used in catalytic reaction devices in industries such as petrochemicals, chemical fertilizers, fine chemicals, and environmental protection, playing roles in supporting, protecting, dispersing, and carrying catalysts.

Functions
Functions of Catalyst Support Media Ceramic Balls

1. Support and Dispersion Function: In the reaction tower or reactor, ceramic balls can support the catalyst layer, enabling uniform distribution of gas or liquid and preventing catalyst agglomeration or uneven flow.
2. Catalyst Protection: As a buffer layer, they prevent catalyst particles from being broken by the high-speed impact of reactants, extending their service life.
3. Improve Mass Transfer Efficiency: Their porous structure is conducive to the diffusion and adsorption of reactants, increasing the reaction rate.
4. Stabilize System Operation: Ceramic balls can withstand large temperature changes and pressure fluctuations, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the reaction device.

Applications of Catalyst Support Media Ceramic Balls

• Petrochemical Equipment: Used as a support and protection layer in reactors for hydrogenation, cracking, reforming, desulfurization, denitrification, etc.
• Chemical Fertilizer Industry: Used as a catalyst filling layer in ammonia synthesis and methanol synthesis towers.
• Environmental Protection Equipment: Used as an adsorption and purification medium in waste gas and wastewater treatment towers.
• Pharmaceutical and Fine Chemical Industry: Used as a reaction carrier in reaction kettles and absorption towers.
• Heat Recovery System: Used as heat exchange filler to improve heat exchange efficiency.

Types

• Inert Alumina Ceramic Balls: Mainly used to support and protect the catalyst layer, without participating in the reaction.
• Activated Alumina Balls: Possess strong adsorption performance, and are often used as desiccants and purification adsorption media.
• High-Alumina Ceramic Balls (≥90% Al₂O₃): Have excellent high-temperature resistance, suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure reaction systems.
• Porous Ceramic Balls: Open-pore ceramic balls have many regular or irregular open-pore structures on the surface and inside, which are interconnected to form a complex pore network.
• Porous Catalyst Support Balls: Have a high specific surface area and are used to load various catalytic active components.
• Micro-Pore Ceramic Balls: The interior of micro-pore ceramic balls contains a large number of tiny pores, with pore sizes usually ranging from nanometers to micrometers, and they have an extremely high specific surface area.
