A
new research report by Transparency Market Research offers a
comprehensive evaluation of the global Aluminum
Oxide
market. The
study, titled “Aluminum
Oxide Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends
and Forecast 2014 - 2020”,
is available for sale on the firm’s website.
Aluminum
oxide, a chemical compound of oxygen and alluminum is a commonly
occurring oxide. It is known by its chemical formula as Al2O3 and
identified as aluminium (III) oxide. Depending on applications and
particular forms, they are also known as alumina, aloxite, aloxide
and alundum. It occurs in its crystalline polymorphic form comprising
mineral corundum by which various precious gems such as sapphire and
ruby are formed. Aluminum oxide is an electric insulator. It has
relatively high thermal conductivity for ceramic material. Al2O3 is
soluble in water and very slightly soluble in alkali and acids. It is
used as a component in cutting tool and as an abrasive. It is known
for its resistance of metallic aluminium to weathering. Aluminum
oxide is also a widely used phosphate remover. Aluminum in the form
of both salts and solid alumina, removes phosphate from aqueous
solutions.

Aluminum
oxide is available in the market in the form of powder, pellets,
pieces, sputtering targets, nanoparticles and tablets. Aluminum
nanoparticles are being used on a large scale as compared to bulk
materials due to its enhanced properties. The physical appearance of
nanoparticles is spherical in the form of white powder. These
particles in liquid and solid form are inflammable and irritant to
the respiratory tract. The benefits of aluminum oxide nanoparticles
include toughness, electricity conductivity, ductility and increased
strength and hardness of metals and alloys. Alumina nanoparticles are
manufactured using laser ablation of an aluminium target in deionized
water.
The
various application areas of aluminum oxide include pharmaceutical
and industrial manufacturing processes among others. It is used as an
adsorbent, catalyst, desiccating agent, used in manufacture of dental
cement, as a dispersing agent in food, as an abrasive in toothpaste
and also has uses in hemodialysis. Other applications include fillers
for plastics, purifier to remove water from gas streams and for
reflective decorative effects and paints. In addition it is used as a
medium of chromatography in sodium vapor lamps, to make spark plug
insulators, as a material in hip replacements and also used in
compact fluorescent lamps. Aluminum oxide has high demand as a
biomaterial for medical transplants in the market.
Growing
pharmaceutical industry along with rising demand for aluminum oxide
from other applications in the industry is expected to be the major
driver for aluminum oxide. The growing demand from ceramic industries
to manufacture porous ceramics is also expected to boost demand for
aluminum oxide in the near future. However, exposure to aluminum
oxide causing health concerns is expected to be the major restraining
factor for the growth of aluminum oxide market. Aluminum oxide is not
a human carcinogen but is noted to develop severe pulmonary reactions
such as fibrosis, pneumothorax and emphysema. Short-term exposure to
aluminum oxide may cause upper respiratory tract and eye irritation.
Long-term exposure may affect the central nervous system.
