Produced by pressurized reaction of bauxite and sulfuric acid. Alternatively, it can be obtained by decomposing alunite, kaolin, and raw materials containing alumina and silicon using sulfuric acid. Aluminum sulfate can also be prepared by adding aluminum hydroxide [Al (OH) 3] to sulfuric acid (H2SO4).
Its dust has a certain irritant effect on the eyes and mucous membranes. Accidentally taking a large amount of aluminum sulfate can cause irritation to the mouth and stomach. Hot solution splashing onto the skin can cause burns. Pay attention to protection.
The first aid measures are as follows.
Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing and rinse with running water.
Eye contact: Lift the eyelids, rinse with flowing water or physiological saline, and seek medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove from the scene to a place with fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen and seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Drink plenty of warm water to induce vomiting.
Store in a cool and dry warehouse. The packaging should be intact and loaded securely during transportation. During transportation, it is necessary to ensure that the container does not leak, collapse, fall, or be damaged. It is strictly prohibited to mix and transport with oxidants, edible chemicals, etc. During transportation, it is necessary to prevent exposure to sunlight, rain, and high temperatures. The vehicle should be thoroughly cleaned after transportation.
