Application
-
Water Treatment: Aluminum sulfate is a key coagulant used in water purification processes. It helps in the removal of suspended particles, turbidity, and impurities from water by forming insoluble aluminum hydroxide flocs that capture contaminants and settle them out. It is widely used in municipal water treatment plants, industrial water systems, and wastewater treatment facilities.
-
Paper Industry: In the paper manufacturing process, aluminum sulfate is used as a sizing agent. It helps to reduce the absorbency of paper, improving its writing and printing qualities. It also enhances the brightness and strength of the paper.
-
Textile Industry: Aluminum sulfate is used in the dyeing and finishing of textiles. It acts as a mordant, helping dyes to adhere better to the fabric fibers, resulting in more vibrant and durable colors.
-
Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics: It is used in small quantities in the production of certain pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, such as antiperspirants and astringents, due to its astringent properties.
-
Construction Industry: Aluminum sulfate is used in the production of fireproofing materials and as a component in certain types of cement to control setting times.
