alum,n.f. - Nature
Open Data Verified Data
colorless transparent crystal or white crystalline powder. The taste was slightly sweet and astringent. Melting Point: 92.5 ℃; Relative density: 1. 725. Soluble in water (Ig soluble in 7.2mL cold water, 0.3 ml boiling water), glycerol, acidic solution. Soluble in dilute acid, insoluble in ethanol, acetone. Stable at room temperature, when the temperature of 60~65 deg C, long-term contact with air easy weathering, loss of crystal water. When heated above 200 °c, the water of crystallization is lost and the product becomes anhydrous. The higher temperature releases S03, which can be weathered into an opaque state in the air, slowly soluble in glycerol, and practically insoluble in ethanol.

alum,n.f. - Preparation Method
Open Data Verified Data
industrial aluminum sulfate was dissolved in water. Additional potassium sulfate was dissolved in water. After filtration and mixing. It was evaporated on a water bath until crystallization occurred. The crystals were cooled with stirring and filtered off with suction. It was then dissolved in a minimal amount of hot water and cooled to crystallize. Recrystallization was performed as necessary until pure aluminum potassium sulfate was obtained.

| toxicity | refer to "15002, potassium alum". |
| use | as a water purifier, fruit and vegetable brittlering agent and leavening agent, China stipulates that it can be used in fried food, shrimp slices, bean products, baking powder, wafer biscuits, puffed food and aquatic products. it can be used appropriately according to production requirements, and the residual amount of aluminum shall not exceed 100 mg/kg. It is the main raw material of baking powder, used as baking powder and additive The acidic component of chemical leavening agent. For baked goods. Its water solubility is lower than that of potassium alum. Therefore, the reaction with sodium bicarbonate is slow, and carbon dioxide can be produced for a long time. This product may be slightly astringent when used in baked food, which is its disadvantage. |
| production method | potassium alum is heated on an aluminum plate (about 200 ℃) to remove crystal water. The temperature is too high to produce alumina. recrystallization method will be industrial aluminum potassium sulfate dissolved in water, after purification filtration, evaporation crystallization, separation, drying, screening products. Alunite method will be broken, roasting dehydration, weathering crushing, and then with steam (or hot water) leaching, sedimentation, crystallization of crude alum; then the crude alum with water to dissolve, boil, evaporate, cooling, crystallization, separation, drying to obtain the finished product. |
