Our Inorganics & Catalyst Chemicals Division
is one of the world’s leading producers of
high-purity and ultra-high-purity synthetic speciality aluminas
and related products such as
silica-aluminas, hydrotalcites and spinels and
selected shaped carrier materials for catalytic applications.
Our customers value our aluminas
for their particularly high level of chemical purity and
high dispersibility as well as the fact that
key characteristics including
pore volume, particle size and specific surface area
can be adapted to their specific requirements.
Our portfolio comprises more than
400 customised product specifications
tailored to our customers’ needs.
Our products are used in a wide range of applications
such as catalyst supports in the automotive industry,
in chemical processing and refineries, plastic additives and
high-performance abrasives and technical ceramic applications.
They also play a vital role in the manufacture of
synthetic sapphires for the production of LED lights and
scratch-resistant glass for watches, point of sales scanners and
consumer electronics.
The GTL catalyst business is accountable

DETAILS
Today, Sasol announced that
it has expanded the production capacity of its
alumina spheres plant in Brunsbüttel
to 4,000 tonnes per annum.
Through the company’s
Performance Chemicals Inorganics & Catalyst division,
a leading global producer of inorganic specialities,
it produces high purity and ultra-high purity alumina
that is used in a range of catalytic and non-catalytic applications.
The expansion marks another step in the company
strengthening its position in the alumina market
to meet growing market demand
for alumina-based shaped carrier materials
for industrial catalytic and non-catalytic applications.
Due to physical and chemical properties,
the shaped carriers produced by
Sasol’s Performance Chemicals Inorganics & Catalyst division
are sought-after in fast-growing markets,
such as the refinery catalyst market.
Sasol can meet its customers’ increasing demands
due to its ability to
control the physical and chemical properties of its products.
This includes tailoring the porosity of its spheres and
producing spheres doped with various elements
at the request of the customer.
A key strength is that
it can tailor make near-perfect spherical alumina spheres
with a narrow size distribution and low attrition
that serves as effective carriers
for various industrial applications.
