Description | ||
|---|---|---|
Aluminum Sulphate is an aluminum oxy-acid salt that is extremely soluble in water. An anhydrous form exists but it is relatively unimportant. The aqueous solution is distinctly acidic due to hydrolysis. Trade terminology often refers to aluminum sulphate as ‘alum' although correctly the alums are double salts whereas aluminum sulphate is not. Aluminum sulphate can be represented by the generalized chemical formula Al2(SO4)3 .18H2O. Where n = 0, 6, 10, 16, 18, 27. In the case of ACI, n = 18. This implies that ACI produces hydrated or specifically octadecahydrate aluminum sulphate. Among numerous other uses of aluminum sulphate, it constitutes an effective and inexpensive method of changing the pH of ordinary soil from neutral or alkaline to acidic, and a solution of it can be used for rendering concrete floors dustless. |
