Aluminium Sulfate (Alum)

Aluminium sulfate, commonly referred to as alum, is a chemical compound with the formula Al2(SO4)3. It is a water-soluble salt that features aluminium in a trivalent state. Alum is produced through the reaction of aluminium hydroxide with sulfuric acid, resulting in the formation of a white crystalline solid. The compound is known for its strong affinity for water, and it readily hydrates in moist air.

Construction

Aluminium Sulfate or Alum is a major accelerator in the construction industry, used in admixture, drymix, shotcrete and glass-fibre reinforced concrete (GFRC). It is also used in construction as a waterproofing agent. and is a major component of alkali-free shotcrete accelerators.

Water Treatment

It has major applications in the water treatment industry, where its large molecular size and weight, combined with low cost, make it an excellent flocculant for the treatment of both drinking water and industrial waste water. Aluminium sulfate is also used in the paper and oil manufacturing processes.
