Aluminium Hydroxide Production from Aluminium Sulphate and Sodium Hydroxide

This report comprises an extensive cost evaluation of aluminium hydroxide production from aluminium sulfate and sodium hydroxide. To produce aluminum hydroxide from aluminum sulfate, the process begins by dissolving aluminum sulfate in water. Following this, sodium hydroxide is added to the solution, leading to the precipitation of aluminum hydroxide. The precipitate is then separated from the liquid by filtration or sedimentation. After separation, the aluminum hydroxide is washed to eliminate any impurities and excess reactants, and subsequently dried to reduce moisture content.
