Gukora alumina ifite micro-nzira nyinshi, ubuso bwihariye rero ni bunini. Irashobora gukoreshwa nka adsorbent, desiccant, defluorinating agent na cataliste. Nubwoko bwamazi ya desiccant hamwe na adsorbent ya pole-molekulari, nkuko byerekanwa na molekulari ya polarisiyasi ya adsorbed, imbaraga zifatika zikomeye kumazi, okiside, acide acike, alkali nibindi. mumazi, nta kwaguka, nta poro, nta gucamo.
