Aluminium Sulfate Production Cost Reports

Aluminium Sulfate production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Aluminium Sulfate production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Aluminium Sulfate. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Aluminium sulphate, also called Filter Alum or Dialuminum tri-sulphate, is an aluminium salt with adjuvant immune activity. Aluminium sulfate (anhydrous) contains no water for crystallisation.

It appears to be a white crystalline solid in its anhydrous form and a colourless liquid in its solution form. It has the chemical formula Al2(SO4)3. It is non-toxic and non-combustible. It is water-soluble but insoluble in ethanol and slightly soluble in alcohol-dilute mineral acids. It is odourless and has a slight astringent taste, sweet taste. Its molar mass is 342.15 g/mol (anhydrous) and 666.44 g/mol (octa decahydrate). Its density is 2.672 g/cm3 (anhydrous) and 1.62 g/cm3(octa decahydrate). Its respective boiling and melting points are 214° F and 770 °C.

The Aluminium Sulfate market is being driven by its use as a coagulating agent. It facilitates particle collision by neutralising charges for purifying drinking water and wastewater treatment plants. In household applications, it is found in baking soda and in antiperspirants. Furthermore, it is used in gardening as it is very acidic and is usually added to very alkaline soils to balance the pH of plants.

It is also employed in water treatment and purification as it allows microscopic impurities to clump together into larger particles that settle at the container's bottom, making water safe, which is furthering the market growth. When dissolved in water, it has a neutral or slightly alkaline pH, resulting in a gooey substance, aluminium hydroxide, which is used in dyeing and printing on cloth. Also, in paper making, it is used to alter the ink-absorbing properties of the paper. Besides this, it finds use as an accelerator and waterproofing agent in concrete, in firefighting foam,  as the fireproofing agent and in sewage treatment.
