Questions And Answer

• Common aluminum salt

  Aluminum sulfate is a one of common aluminum salt, prone to hydrolyze, aqueous solution is acid. Added to the solution of soluble carbonates or sulfides will lead to complete hydrolysis:
  （1）2Al3++3CO2-3+2H2O=2Al(OH)3↓+3CO2↑ （2）2Al3++3S2-+3H2O=2Al(OH)3↓+3H2S↑
  Produce a white flocculent precipitate aluminum hydroxide sediment, when heated it expands violently, becomes spongy substance. Calcined to red heat, then it will be decomposed into sulfur trioxide and alumina.
  Aluminum sulfate solution and potassium sulfate solution were mixed, to crystallize, to obtain a new kind of salt called potassium aluminum sulfate K2SO4 · Al2 (SO4) 3 · 24H2O, this salt is called complex salt, also known as aluminum potassium alum, commonly known as alum. From the composition point of view, it is formed by the adduct of two simple salt, is not a simple mixture of the two salt, but the compound of the same crystal structure, certain composition. The difference between complex salt and complexe is that in the solid state or solution complex salt presents simple ions, without complex ions.
  Aluminum sulfate and other soluble sulfate, can also form another double salt, the formula of which is M2ⅠSO4MⅡSO4 · 6H2O and MⅠ2SO4M2Ⅲ (SO4) 3 · 24H2O. Where MⅠ typically is NH + 4, Na +, K +, Rb +, Cs +, Tl +.MⅡ1 is Fe2 +, Co2 +, Ni2 +, Zn2 +, Cu2 +, Hg 2+; MuⅢ1 is Fe 3+, Cr3 +, Al3 +, etc. This type of complex salt, collectively known as alum, for example: the molar salt (NH4) 2SO4 · FeSO4 · 6H2O, magnesium potassium sulfate K2SO4 · MgSO4 · 6H2O, chromium potassium sulfate K2SO4 · Cr2 (SO4) 3 · 24H2O, sodium alum Na2SO4 · Al2 ( SO4) 3 · 24H2O, alum, ammonium (NH4) 2SO4 · Al (SO4) 3 · 24H2O, etc. These classes of alum, solubility in water is much smaller than their corresponding sulfates composition, and thus the crystallization from solution, it is easy to get a more complete crystal particles, easily purified. This step of preparing alum is often used for purification of aluminum sulfate or preparation of relatively pure aluminum compound. The class of Alum in the industry has a wide range of uses, alum can be used to clean drinking water, also used for tanning leather, printing and dyeing, papermaking and other industries. Aluminum, aluminum oxide or aluminum hydroxide with sulfuric acid can be prepared for aluminum sulfate.

• Physical and Chemical Properties

  Colorless or white crystals. Odorless, slightly sweet taste. Because of containing iron etc, industrial product looks like a yellowish-green, tastes sour. It was Stable in the air, heated to 250 ℃ to lose crystal water, when heated above 700 ℃, begin decompose into aluminum oxide, sulfur trioxide and water vapor, etc. Soluble in water, aqueous solution is acidic. Al2 (SO4) 3 + 2H2O → Al2 (SO4) 2 (OH) 2 + H2SO4, when hydrate were heated, violently swell and become spongy, when heated to a red heat, it decomposes into sulfur trioxide and alumina. Flocculent or sponge-like Al (OH) 3 has a strong adsorption capacity, good absorption of pigments and fibers, and thus used as a mordant in dyeing industry, also used to purify drinking water. In addition, in the paper industry, it can added to the pulp with rosin simultaneously for fiber bonding.

Aqueous solution is acidic due to hydrolysis.
  Aluminum sulfate easily absorb water to agglomerate, use plastic bags lined with plastic bags of glass for packaging. Storage and transportation should prevent rain and damp. ;

• Purpose and effect of aluminum sulfate

  Aluminum sulfate is mainly used for turbidity water purification, also used as a precipitating agent, fixing agent, fillers, etc. It is used as antiperspirant cosmetic ingredients (astringent) in cosmetics. In addition, aluminum sulfate can also be used as paper industry sizing agent (rosin sizing, so that the color will be attached to the paper), leather tanning agents, mordant, purifying agent (flocculant, the resulting aluminum hydroxide floc may be coated with microparticles suspended in the water to promote rapid sedimentation separation), foam fire extinguisher inside agent (outside agent is sodium bicarbonate, carbon dioxide is generated after the reaction), raw materials for manufacturing alum, and white aluminum, oil bleaching, deodorization agent; pharmaceutical raw materials, as food curing agent (excipient); for impurities removal of oil, water, etc, pasteurized albumin stabilizer, lake raw materials, waste water treatment agent, waterproof concrete materials, fireproof raw materials. ;

• Aluminum sulfate binder

  Aluminum sulfate refractory binder is a kind of binding agents. It is industrial aluminum sulfate produced through decomposition of bauxite with sulfuric acid or decomposition of aluminum hydroxide with sulfuric acid, obtained by hydrolysis.
  Hardening mechanism of combination of aluminum sulfate binder is more complex, aluminum sulfate solution at room temperature exhibits SO42-, Al (OH) 2+ and Al (SO4) 3 and other states. If left coagulant, coagulated slowly or not solidified. After adding coagulant, such as after adding a coagulant alumina cement, SO42-will seize Ca2 + of alumina cement to form CaSO4, and also form iron sulfate, and magnesium sulfate, etc. The interaction between them would form sulphoaluminate (3CaO · Al2O3 · 3CaSO4 · 31H2O or 3CaO · Al2O3 · CaSO4 · 12H2O) and ferric sulfate (FeO · Al2O3 · 4SO3 · 22H2O) and other precipitation crystallization of new substances, prompting condensation and hardening of combination.
  Due to the small number of new product, aluminum sulfate binding agent combination, it is very low intensity at room temperature. Before 500~600 ℃ and after drying heat, treatment intensity strength approaches. When at 700~800 ℃, as aluminate sulfate and sulphoaluminate begin to decompose, releasing SO3, [Al2 (SO4) 3-→ Al2O3 + 3SO3 ↑] to make the body produce binding loose structure, strength decreases. When above 1000 ℃, as the decomposition of aluminate sulfate and sulphoaluminate , the active Al2O3, prone to solid phase reaction, producing new substances and emergence of a liquid phase sintering, the strength improved significantly. when To 1200 ℃, the strength of combination is 3.5 to 5 times the strength of about 800 ℃.
  Since aluminum sulfate hydrolysis reaction produces H2SO4, it can react with the raw material metal and oxide to produce hydrogen and water, adversely for brick material molding performance, so when aluminum sulfate binder ingredients are used for burndening, required at a certain temperature and humidity trapped material more than 24h .
  Aluminum sulfate binder can be prepared castable, ramming material, plastic and unfired brick, ,etc. Its operating temperature varies as the aggregate and powder materials vary. ;
