What is Potassium Aluminum Sulfate?
Potassium aluminum sulfate, also known as potassium alum or alum, is a chemical compound with the formula KAl(SO4)2·12H2O. It is a double salt composed of potassium sulfate and aluminum sulfate, with twelve water molecules bound in its crystal structure. Potassium aluminum sulfate is commonly used in various applications such as water treatment, antiperspirants, pickling, tanning, and as a fire retardant. It can be found in both natural mineral form and synthetically produced.
Aluminium Potassium Sulphate Uses
Water Treatment: Employed as a coagulant in water treatment, enhancing water quality by eliminating impurities, particles, and organics.
Antiperspirants: A vital component in natural or crystal antiperspirants, it temporarily obstructs sweat glands, diminishing sweat production.
Pickling and Preserving: Applied in pickling, it upholds fruit and vegetable quality by sustaining texture and preventing color alteration.
Tanning and Leather Treatment: Valued in tanning, it enhances hide and skin quality, durability, and aesthetics.
Fire Retardant: It doubles as a fire retardant, heightening materials’ fire resistance.
Medicinal Uses: Traditionally, it acts as an astringent, aiding minor injuries, burns, insect bites, and mouth sores.
