What are the advantages of inert ceramic balls?


Compared with ceramic balls of other materials, inert ceramic balls have certain advantages in chemical stability, cost, thermal insulation performance, etc. The following is a specific analysis:

1. Excellent chemical stability

Strong corrosion resistance: Inert ceramic balls have stable chemical properties. In various acid and alkali chemical environments, compared with some ceramic balls with higher activity, such as some ordinary ceramic balls with lower alumina content, they are less likely to undergo chemical reactions. They can maintain stable performance for a long time in complex chemical environments and are not easily corroded. They can effectively protect catalysts and other substances in the reactor and extend the service life of equipment and catalysts.

No interference with catalytic activity: Unlike some ceramic balls with specific catalytic properties, inert ceramic balls themselves have almost no catalytic activity and will not produce additional catalytic effects or interference on the chemical reaction system they are in contact with. They can ensure that the chemical reaction proceeds according to the expected path and rate, and ensure the stability of product quality and reaction efficiency.

2. Good physical properties

High strength and wear resistance: Inert ceramic balls usually have high mechanical strength and good wear resistance. Compared with zirconia ceramic balls, although zirconia ceramic balls also have high wear resistance, inert ceramic balls have relatively low costs while ensuring certain wear resistance. When used in various filling, supporting and other occasions, inert ceramic balls can withstand greater pressure and friction, are not easy to break and wear, can maintain a complete spherical shape and good physical form for a long time, and maintain the normal operation of the system.

Good thermal insulation performance: Some inert ceramic balls have low thermal conductivity and good thermal insulation performance. Compared with silicon nitride ceramic balls, in some occasions with high thermal insulation requirements, such as filling materials for high-temperature reactors, inert ceramic balls can effectively reduce heat loss and improve energy utilization. 3. Cost and resource advantages

Low raw material cost: The main raw materials of inert ceramic balls are usually minerals with abundant reserves and relatively low prices in nature. Compared with some ceramic balls that require the use of rare metals or special chemical raw materials, such as ceramic balls containing rare earth elements, the raw material cost of inert ceramic balls is significantly lower, which makes it cost-effective in large-scale industrial applications.

Simple preparation process: The production process of inert ceramic balls is relatively simple compared to some high-performance ceramic balls. It does not require complex preparation technology and expensive equipment. The energy consumption and process control difficulty in the production process are relatively low, which further reduces the production cost and improves the production efficiency, making it more price competitive in the market.
