Acetic Acid → Aluminum hydroxide acetate (1:1:2)

Participants

Reaction Steps

31.2 g (0.4 mol) of Al(OH)3 hydrargillite and 378 g of glacial acetic acid are initially introduced into a 750 ml sulfonation flask provided with a stirrer, a thermometer and a reflux condenser. The mixture is refluxed for 24 hours. After this time, the reaction product is cooled and filtered off and is 4 times suspended with, in each case, 50 ml of isopropanol and filtered off. The product is then dried in a vacuum cabinet at 130° C. 61.2 g (94.5% of theory) of acicular aluminium monohydroxide diacetate result.
