Technical aluminum sulfate, purified, grade one

Aluminum sulfate is one of the most demanded coagulants in technologies of water purification and processing of raw materials. Technical purified aluminum sulfate, grade one, is characterized by a high degree of purity and stability of properties, which ensures effective removal of suspended particles and improvement of flocculation processes in various industrial areas.

Chemical structure and synthesis

Aluminum sulfate has a general formula:

Al2​(SO4​)3​,

although its dissolved form with hydrates is more common (for example, $Al_2(SO_4)_3\cdot 18H_2O$). Sulfate is obtained by the reaction of aluminum compounds with sulfuric acid, after which purification and standardization are carried out to achieve high-grade characteristics.

Physico-chemical properties

• Solubility: It is well soluble in water with the release of a significant amount of heat (exothermic solution).

• Coagulation properties: Due to its high electrochemical activity, it promotes effective precipitation of colloidal particles.

• Chemical purity: The purified product of the first grade is characterized by a minimum content of impurities, which is especially important for its use in water treatment and technological processes.

Application

• Water treatment: It is used for precipitation of suspended particles, elimination of turbidity and improvement of clarifying properties of water.

• Paper production: It is used to improve the wetting of fibers and improve the quality of paper.

• Textiles and other industries: It is used as a coagulant in separation and precipitation processes, as well as to stabilize emulsions.

Conclusion

Technical purified aluminum sulfate, grade one, due to its coagulation properties and high purity, is an indispensable component in water treatment and a number of industrial processes. Its use contributes to the effective separation and precipitation of impurities, which improves the quality of the final product.
