purpose | sewage purification is used as a coagulant. The leather-making industry is used as a post-treatment agent for aluminium tanning agents and pelt. The dye industry is used as an anti-dye agent. The paper industry is used as a sizing agent for paper sizing. The glass industry is used as a colorant for yellow glass. It is used as an astringent in medicine. The printing and dyeing industry is used as a mordant. In addition, it is also used in pigment, electroplating, starch and other industrial sectors. Food-grade products are used as buffers, bulking agents, etc. used as analytical reagent, mordant and water softener used as artificial gem raw material. |
production method | aluminum sulfate solution is formed by reacting aluminum hydroxide with sulfuric acid, and the pH value of the solution is adjusted by adding ammonia water, filtered, crystallized, after heating and dissolving, ammonium sulfate is added to generate aluminum ammonium sulfate, which is then filtered, crystallized, redissolved, filtered, and cooled to crystallize to prepare a finished aluminum ammonium sulfate product. Its 2AI(OH)3 3H2SO4 → A12(SO4)3 6H2OA12(SO4)3 (NH4)2SO4 24H2O →(NH4)2SO4? Al2(SO4)3? 24H2O synthesis method with sulfuric acid decomposition of bauxite to produce aluminum sulfate solution, adding ammonium sulfate reaction at 100 ℃, after cooling crystallization, centrifugal separation, washing, drying aluminum ammonium sulfate.
