Aluminium Sulphate Solution

Aluminium sulphate solution (Al₂(SO₄)₃) is an acidic, water-soluble chemical widely used as a coagulating and flocculating agent in water purification and across various industrial sectors.

Key Uses

Aluminium Sulphate Solution

Water and Wastewater Treatment: Acts as a primary coagulant in municipal drinking water, sewage, and swimming pools to clump together suspended particles, turbidity, organic matter, and phosphorus so they can easily settle out.

Paper Manufacturing: Used as a sizing agent to improve sheet quality, whiteness, and print performance.

Textile Dyeing and Printing: Serves as a mordant to help dye molecules stick and make colours vibrant on fibres like wool or silk.

Gardening and Agriculture: Lowers soil pH for acid-loving plants (such as blueberries, azaleas, and rhododendrons) and can shift hydrangea flower colours.

Construction: Functions as an accelerating and waterproofing agent in concrete and cement mixtures.

Firefighting: Combined with agents like baking soda to create carbon dioxide-releasing foaming agents in fire extinguishers.

Leather Tanning: Applied to animal hides to help prevent decay

Safety Tips

Avoid direct contact: The solution has a low pH and can irritate or burn skin and eyes; always wear protective gloves and safety glasses.

Watch aquatic toxicity: Do not apply soil or water treatments containing aluminium sulphate near fish ponds or natural lakes, as it is toxic to aquatic life
