Participants

Reactant 2

HCID 1118Sulfuric Acid

HCID 10176082Aluminum Hydroxide

Product 1

HCID 24850Aluminum Sulfate

Procedure

The aluminum hydroxide obtained as an intermediate product in the above method 2) or a highly aluminous clay mineral is reacted with sulfuric acid to obtain aluminum sulfate. Then, aluminum hydroxide is precipitated by neutralization with ammonia, followed by filtration, drying and calcining to afford alumina gel.
