Aluminium sulphate — also spelled aluminum sulfate — is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula:
Al₂(SO₄)₃·18H₂O (typically the hydrated form)
It is a white crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. Once dissolved, it dissociates into aluminium and sulphate ions, which are key to many industrial processes.
At its core, aluminium sulphate acts as a precipitant, coagulant, or flocculating agent, making it invaluable for treatment and processing operations where removal of impurities is needed.
| Property | Specification |
|---|---|
| Chemical Name | Aluminium Sulphate |
| Formula | Al₂(SO₄)₃·18H₂O |
| Appearance | White crystalline powder/granules |
| Purity | Industrial Grade (≥ 17–18% Al₂O₃) |
| Solubility | Highly soluble in water |
| pH (1% Solution) | Acidic (typically 3–4) |
| Moisture Content | As per industrial standard |
| Assay | Conforms to IS / International norms |
Note: Specifications can vary based on industry requirements — water treatment grade, pharmaceutical grade, textile grade, etc.
The process of producing aluminium sulphate involves carefully controlled chemical reactions to ensure high purity, consistent quality, and compliance with safety standards.
The primary raw materials used include:
Aluminium sulphate’s versatility makes it indispensable across sectors. Here are the major application areas:
The most significant application of aluminium sulphate is in water and wastewater treatment. It acts as a coagulant to remove turbidity, suspended solids, and organic impurities.
🔹 In municipal water treatment plants
🔹 Industrial waste treatment
🔹 Drinking water purification processes
How It Works:
Once added to water, aluminium sulphate reacts to form aluminium hydroxide flocs that trap suspended particles. These flocs then settle out or are filtered, resulting in clear, safe water.
Used as a sizing agent to improve paper quality, sheet formation, and ink holdout.
Benefits include:
✔ Improved paper strength
✔ Enhanced printability
✔ Better surface finish
In textile manufacturing, aluminium sulphate acts as a mordant, helping dyes bind to fabric fibers.
Industries:
✔ Cotton processing
✔ Silk and wool dyeing
✔ Synthetic fiber treatments
When produced in high purity, aluminium sulphate can be used in:
It is used as an additive to control:
✔ Setting time
✔ Improving strength characteristics
✔ Stabilizing materials
In regulated quantities, aluminium sulphate is incorporated to improve nutrient blending and stability in feed and fertilizer mixes.
Depending on application and industry, the chemical is available in:
→ Best for water treatment, construction, textile processes.
→ General industrial usage where ultra‑high purity is not critical.
→ Balanced between purity and cost‑effectiveness.
→ For applications with stringent impurity controls like cosmetics, pharma, and food‑related processing.
