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.
4 ·22 H 2 O, MgAl 2 (SO 4) 4 ·22 H 2 O, NaAl(SO 4) 2 ·6 H 2 O, MgSO 4 ·7H 2 O and Al 2 (SO 4) 3 ·17 H 2 O. [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]
It crystallizes in an octahedral structure in neutral solution and cubic structure in an alkali solution with space group Pa 3 and lattice parameter of 12.18 Å. [4] The compound is the most important member of the generic class of compounds called alums, and is often called simply alum. [5]

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.
Ammonium iron(III) sulfate, NH 4 Fe(SO 4) 2 ·12 H 2 O, or NH 4 [Fe(H 2 O) 6](SO 4) 2 ·6 H 2 O, also known as ferric ammonium sulfate (FAS) or iron alum, is a double salt in the class of alums, which consists of compounds with the general formula AB(SO 4) 2 · 12 H 2 O. [2] It has the appearance of weakly violet, octahedrical crystals.
A stable derivative of aluminium monoiodide is the cyclic adduct formed with triethylamine, Al 4 I 4 (NEt 3) 4. Also of theoretical interest but only of fleeting existence are Al 2 O and Al 2 S. Al 2 O is made by heating the normal oxide, Al 2 O 3, with silicon at 1,800 °C (3,272 °F) in a vacuum. Such materials quickly disproportionate to the ...
Sodium aluminate is an inorganic chemical that is used as an effective source of aluminium hydroxide for many industrial and technical applications. Pure sodium aluminate is a white crystalline solid having a formula variously given as NaAlO 2, NaAl(OH) 4 (), [3] Na 2 O·Al 2 O 3, or Na 2 Al 2 O 4.
