Alumina ceramic ball
Thread Content
I would like to ask: 1. Can alumina ceramic balls that have been used in methanol synthesis be reused? How should it be handled again? 2. Can the alumina ceramic balls used in desulfurization and deoxidation protection beds be reused? How should it be handled again? Does anyone have any relevant experience?
It can be reused as long as its strength is sufficient. The magnetic balls that have been separated need to be sifted, using sieves with different mesh sizes for magnetic balls of various sizes.
Hello! Could you elaborate on the reuse of alumina ceramic balls? Is it just a simple rinse? How to deal with drying? Sun exposure? What is the standard for being clean?

It is best not to use them. Ceramic balls are relatively inexpensive, but if their strength is insufficient, incineration can have a severe impact on the system; the loss resulting from a single shutdown is significant. If the shutdown is caused by the need to replace the ceramic balls, the losses related to the catalyst and the entire system are even greater. It isn’t worth taking such big risks for such a small amount of value. It is possible to use the ceramic balls available for analyzing their strength and other properties
Not recommended! Alumina ceramic balls also have a limited lifespan; their strength changes significantly after being used, and it’s likely they will no longer be able to function by the time you need to replace the catalyst again
We also don’t really recommend using it, but given the need for low-cost development, the management asked us to consider it. But I see many people saying there’s no problem?
Make careful decisions regarding the relationship between watermelons and sesame; a strength analysis can be conducted, and it is only rational to base decisions on scientific principles
It’s better to buy a new one; the cost of having it repaired is higher than just buying a new one
Ceramic balls are not expensive; let’s decide based on their strength then I suggest you consider what would happen if the strength isn’t sufficient at that time It’s more troublesome.
After being used at high temperatures, the strength of alumina ceramic balls decreases compared to when they are new. The purpose of using these ceramic balls is primarily to ensure a uniform distribution of the gases entering and exiting the system. With millions of catalysts involved, using old ceramic balls can negatively affect performance; it is therefore better not to use them. Moreover, the price of these ceramic balls is relatively low.
