Aluminium sulphate
Aluminum sulphate is a white, crystalline solid with a low solubility in water. It often appears as a powder or granules. The compound is hygroscopic, meaning it has a tendency to absorb moisture from the air. Aluminum sulfate has an acidic nature due to its ability to release hydrogen ions in water.
APPLICATION & USAGE
- Aluminum sulfate is commonly used in water treatment processes, specifically for clarifying and purifying water. It acts as a coagulant, helping to remove impurities and suspended particles by forming larger, easily removable flocs.
- In the paper industry, it is utilized as a sizing agent and a filler.
- Similar to water treatment, it is employed in wastewater treatment facilities as a coagulant to remove impurities and pollutants from wastewater.
- It is sometimes used in construction materials, such as cement and concrete.
- It is also utilized in fireproofing agents and flame-retardant materials due to its ability to inhibit the combustion process.
