  2. Aluminium sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_sulfate

    Aluminium sulfate is a salt with the formula Al 2 (SO 4) 3.It is soluble in water and is mainly used as a coagulating agent (promoting particle collision by neutralizing charge) in the purification of drinking water [3] [4] and wastewater treatment plants, and also in paper manufacturing.

  3. Chemical phosphorus removal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_phosphorus_removal

    One method of eutrophication remediation is the application of aluminum sulfate, a salt commonly used in the coagulation process of drinking water treatment. Aluminum sulfate, or "alum" as it is commonly referred, has been found to be an effective lake management tool by reducing the phosphorus load. [2] Sediment core sampled from a Minnesota lake.

  4. Alum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alum

    Alum in the form of potassium aluminium sulphate or ammonium aluminium sulfate in a concentrated bath of hot water is regularly used by jewelers and machinists to dissolve hardened steel drill bits that have broken off in items made of aluminum, copper, brass, gold (any karat), silver (both sterling and fine) and stainless steel. This is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flocculation

    A variety of salts may be added to adjust the pH and act as clarifying agents, depending on the water chemistry. These include sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, aluminum sulfate, aluminum oxide, ferric sulfate, ferric chloride, sodium aluminate, with flocculant aids polyaluminum chloride, polyferric chloride.

    An EPA scientist samples water in Florida Everglades. Samples of water from the natural environment are routinely taken and analyzed as part of a pre-determined monitoring program by regulatory authorities to ensure that waters remain unpolluted, or if polluted, that the levels of pollution are not increasing or are falling in line with an agreed remediation plan.

  7. Chemical garden - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_garden

    The chemical garden relies on most transition metal silicates being insoluble in water and colored. When a metal salt, such as cobalt chloride, is added to a sodium silicate solution, it will start to dissolve. It will then form insoluble cobalt silicate by a double displacement reaction. This cobalt silicate is a semipermeable membrane.

    Black for aluminum. Boil a solution of 20 g ammonium molybdate and 5 g of sodium thiosulfate in a liter of water, immerse the objects, rinse, dry, wax or lacquer after the development of color. [31] Lustre colours. Use a solution of 280 g of sodium thiosulphate, 25 g of cupric acetate and 30 g of citric acid. It can be used on copper and its ...
