According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Alumina-based Mercury Removal Adsorbent market size was valued at US$ 64.82 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 87.52 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.4% during review period.
Alumina-based mercury removal agents are fixed-bed adsorbents that utilize porous activated alumina as a carrier, incorporating active phases such as metal oxides, copper sulfides, or other metal sulfides. As mercury-laden gas or liquid hydrocarbons enter the pore channels, elemental mercury undergoes an irreversible reaction with the active components, becoming immobilized as stable mercury compounds, thereby achieving the deep removal of trace mercury.
Upstream raw materials primarily include aluminum hydroxide, pseudo-boehmite, and activated alumina powder; pseudo-boehmite serves as the core carrier material for achieving high specific surface area, optimal pore size, and mechanical strength. Raw materials for active components mainly include copper salts, other metal salts, and sulfurizing agents, while binders, pore-forming agents, and shaping aids are also utilized during production. Midstream processing involves steps such as kneading, pelletizing (spherical shaping), drying, calcination, metal component loading (or co-forming), pre-sulfurization, and screening; key quality controls focus on pore structure, bulk density, crush strength, attrition rate, and mercury capacity. Downstream applications primarily involve non-regenerable fixed-bed units within natural gas processing, LNG pretreatment, oil refining, and petrochemical facilities; spent products are typically subjected to stabilization or specialized disposal as mercury-containing hazardous waste.
In 2025, global sales volume is approximately 4,500 metric tons, with an average market price of around $14 per kilogram and gross profit margins for major manufacturers ranging from 30% to 40%.
