Raw Materials | Aluminum hydroxide Hydrochloric acid |
prepared by direct reaction of aluminum ingot and chlorine. The chlorine gas is introduced under the aluminum liquid layer by the conduit. Since the reaction is an exothermic reaction, the aluminum ingot is melted continuously, and the aluminum liquid is maintained at a certain transition position to react with the chlorine gas to generate aluminum trichloride gas, at a certain temperature crystallization. Or aluminum oxide powder, chlorine as raw materials, with carbon as reducing agent, reaction at a certain temperature to produce aluminum chloride.
aluminum chloride can interfere with the process of phosphonic acid in the human body. When eating too much into the body, it is easy to cause inhalation poisoning, causing human mood Nervousness, respiratory disorders, convulsions, hyperglycemia and so on. Therefore, the staff should be provided with protection. Sealed storage in a ventilated, dry warehouse. In the storage and transportation, strict protection against toxic substances pollution, rain and moisture.

Application | mainly used as hardener for precision casting, sizing and precipitating agent for paper making, coagulant for purified water, wood preservatives, etc. are mainly used for the treatment of drinking water, water containing high fluorine, industrial water, and the purification of oily sewage. It is mainly used for the treatment of drinking water, water containing high fluorine, industrial water, and the purification of oily sewage. It can also be used as a hardener for precision casting mold, a wood preservative, and a sizing and precipitating agent for paper making. It is mainly used as a hardener for precision casting mold shells. It can be used as wood preservative and paper sizing precipitating agent. It is the raw material of the monomer of the hydrocracking catalyst in the petroleum industry. Used for wool refining (removal of vegetable fibers by carbonization), aluminum hydroxide gel production, also used in dyeing and pharmaceutical industries. aluminum chloride is widely used as a catalyst for organic synthesis, and is widely used in petroleum cracking, synthetic dyes, synthetic rubber, synthetic resin, synthetic detergent, medicine, perfume, pesticide, etc. mainly used in precision casting, paper making, water purification, wood preservative, petrochemical, wool refining and so on analysis reagent. |
production method | main raw materials and specifications: aluminum ingot (Al)≥ 95% liquid chlorine (Cl2)≥ 99.5% chemical reaction formula: 2Al +3Cl2 → 2AlCl3 alkali coal stone hydrochloric acid method the alkali coal powder with particle size <8min was added into the boiling roasting furnace, calcined at 700 ℃ for about 30 rnin, and then finely pulverized, add to the reactor and 20% hydrochloric acid to react at 110 ℃ for 1H to generate crystalline aluminum chloride solution, send the reaction solution to the clarification tank, add polyacrylamide flocculant, stir with compressed air, and let stand to precipitate, the clear liquid is sent to be concentrated by evaporation, crystallized, and then centrifuged to prepare crystalline aluminum chloride product. A12O3 + 6HCl + 3H2O → 2 AlC13 · 6H2O coal gangue powder with particle size <8mm was added into the boiling roasting furnace, calcined at 700 ℃ for about half an hour, and then pulverized, add into the reactor and react with 20% hydrochloric acid at 110 ℃ for 1H, send the generated reactant to the clarification tank, add the polyacrylamide flocculant, stir with compressed air and then stand, precipitate and evaporate and concentrate the clear liquid, crystals were precipitated and the crystals were combined twice to obtain a crystalline aluminum chloride product. The hydrochloric acid method of the coal alkali stone is referred to as crystalline aluminum chloride. |

The industrial product is light yellow or dark yellow. Hygroscopicity is very strong, easy to deliquescence, hydrolysis in humid air to generate hydrogen chloride white smoke, heating to free water and hydrogen chloride. Soluble in water, ethanol and glycerol, slightly soluble in hydrochloric acid. Its aqueous solution is acidic
for drinking water, high fluoride water, industrial water treatment, oily sewage purification, especially for high fluoride water has a good treatment effect, can effectively reduce the fluorine content. The pH value of flocculation process has a great influence on the treatment effect. Generally need to be formulated into 5%~ 10% solution dosage, the effective dosage is about 20~60mg/L. Aluminum chloride can also be used as a petrochemical catalyst, oil refining, spices, reagents, pesticides, coatings and other aspects.
