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] [4] The Ancient Greek Herodotus mentions Egyptian alum as a valuable commodity in The Histories. [5] The production of potassium alum from alunite is archaeologically attested on the island Lesbos. [6]

Potassium alum, potash alum, or potassium aluminium sulfate is a chemical compound first mentioned under various Sanskrit names in Ayurvedic medicinal texts such as charak samhita, sushrut samhita, and ashtang hridaya; is chemically defined as the double sulfate of potassium and aluminium, with chemical formula KAl(SO 4) 2.
For similar reasons, anhydrous aluminium salts cannot be made by heating their "hydrates": hydrated aluminium chloride is in fact not AlCl 3 ·6H 2 O but [Al(H 2 O) 6]Cl 3, and the Al–O bonds are so strong that heating is not sufficient to break them and form Al–Cl bonds instead: [2] 2[Al(H 2 O) 6]Cl 3 Al 2 O 3 + 6 HCl + 9 H 2 O
The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.

Other related compounds, sometimes called sodium aluminate, prepared by reaction of Na 2 O and Al 2 O 3 are Na 5 AlO 4 which contains discrete AlO 4 5− anions, Na 7 Al 3 O 8 and Na 17 Al 5 O 16 which contain complex polymeric anions, and NaAl 11 O 17, once mistakenly believed to be β-alumina, a phase of aluminium oxide.
