Overview | Hydroxyl chloride (ACH) is a complex basic aluminum chloride, which is widely used as an antiperspirant active substance in axillary products, especially aerosol-type products. |
use | is a flocculant, which is mainly used for purifying drinking water and special water quality treatment of water supply, such as iron removal, fluorine removal, cadmium removal, radioactive pollution removal, floating oil removal, etc. It is also used for industrial wastewater treatment, such as printing and dyeing wastewater. In addition, it is also used in precision casting, medicine, papermaking rubber, leather making, petroleum, chemical industry, and dyes. |
production method | aluminum ash hydrochloric acid aluminum ash is the slag and floating skin produced during the smelting and refining process of smelting alloy or waste aluminum, and its main components are aluminum oxide and metal aluminum. First, the washing water is added to the reactor, then aluminum ash is added according to a certain ratio, hydrochloric acid is slowly added under stirring for polycondensation reaction, and the curing polymerization is made to pH4.2 ~ 4.5. When the relative density of the solution is about 1.2, the liquid polymeric aluminum chloride is prepared. Liquid products are diluted and filtered, evaporated and concentrated, and dried to produce solid polyaluminum chloride products. Its A12O3 + 6HCI + 3H2O → 2 AlC13 · 6H2O2A12C13 · 6H2O → A12(OH)nC16-n +(12-n)H2O + nHClmAl2(OH)nC16-n + mxH2O →[A12(OH)nC16-n · xH2O]m boiling pyrolysis method carries out boiling pyrolysis of crystalline aluminum chloride at 170 ℃, the released hydrogen chloride is absorbed with water to make 20% hydrochloric acid recovery, and then water is added to carry out curing polymerization above 60 ℃, after curing, drying and crushing, a solid polyaluminum chloride finished product is produced. Its 2A1C13 · 6H2O → A12(OH)nC16-n +(12-n)H2O + nHClmAl2(OH)nC16-n + mxH2O →[A12(OH)nC16-n · xH2O]m |
