Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating an Aluminium Hydroxide production plant. These encompass manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure needs, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, and more.

Aluminium Hydroxide is a chemical compound used as a medication for managing and treating acid indigestion. It is usually administered orally to temporarily relieve heartburn, upset stomach, or gastroesophageal reflux. It can be topically used to prevent and relieve chafed and irritated skin, little burns and wounds, and irritations in the skin caused by friction and rubbing.

Consumers use it to treat chemo-induced oral mucositis as a mouthwash. It also has applications in many vaccines as an adjuvant because of its ability to improve phagocytosis and spur immune responses. In addition, it is used in a range of cosmetics in varying concentrations.

It serves as a phosphate binder for patients who have chronic renal disease. Moreover, other uses of aluminium hydroxide include its employment in fire-retardant coatings, chemical intermediates, for manufacturing activated alumina, glass, and in glass, and additives to increase resistance to thermal shock and waterproofing fabrics.

The market for aluminium hydroxide is majorly driven by its applications as an adjuvant in vaccines and other pharmaceutical applications, such as antacids, etc., which increases its demand in the pharmaceutical industries. It is also utilized in fire-retardant coatings and certain cosmetic products, which further accentuates its demand in the coatings & paints and cosmetic industries. Moreover, aluminium hydroxide is often utilized in the manufacture of various derivatives to make other chemical compounds that have further applications in several industries, which contributes to its market growth and significantly enhances its demand in the chemical manufacturing industries. Additionally, several factors influence industrial Aluminium Hydroxide procurement, such as the availability and cost of production of Aluminium Hydroxide’s feedstock (aluminium sulphate and sodium hydroxide), Aluminium Hydroxide market prices, distribution (including trading and shipping), logistics, environmental regulations, safety standards, etc.

Raw Material for Aluminium Hydroxide Production

According to the Aluminium Hydroxide manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Aluminium Hydroxide production include Aluminium Sulphate-Sodium Hydroxide.

Manufacturing Process of Aluminium Hydroxide

The extensive Aluminium Hydroxide production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production from Aluminium Sulphate: Aluminium sulphate is dissolved in water to initiate the process, followed by the addition of sodium hydroxide, which allows aluminium hydroxide formed to precipitate. The precipitate is then separated by the process of sedimentation or filtration, followed by washing and drying to obtain the desired form of aluminium hydroxide.

Aluminium Hydroxide or Aluminic acid with the chemical formula Al(OH)3 is an inorganic salt used as an antacid used for relieving heartburn, acid indigestion, and sour stomach. The basic compound acts by neutralizing hydrochloric acid in gastric secretions. It is naturally present in the form of the mineral gibbsite and its polymorphs viz doyleite, nordstrandite, and bayerite.

It is an amorphous white powder. It is insoluble in water but soluble in alkaline and acidic solutions. It is Non-flammable and has a Melting Point of 300 °C. Its molecular weight is 78.00 g/mol, and its density is 2.42 g/dm3. It has a standard structure of metal hydroxide consisting of hydrogen bonds comprising of the hydroxyl group's double layers along with aluminium ions that occupy 2/3rd of the octahedral holes formed in the middle of the two layers.
