Aluminum Hydroxide Market

Report Highlights

Aluminum Hydroxide Market: Introduction

Aluminum hydroxide is an inorganic basic compound which is amphoteric in nature. Aluminum hydroxide is found in nature in the form mineral gibbsite. Generally aluminum hydroxide is white colored powder in nature.  Aluminum hydroxide is also known under the name of hydrate of alumina or aluminum trihydrate. Aluminum hydroxide is one of the important component in aluminum ore i.e. bauxite.

The freshly precipitated aluminum hydroxide is present in the form of gel. Commercially aluminum hydroxide is produced by Bayer’s process in which bauxite is dissolved into sodium hydroxide and the temperature is maintained upto270?C. Aluminum hydroxide is used as a raw material for the production of various aluminum based compounds such as aluminum chlorides, zeolites, aluminum oxide etc. Aluminum hydroxide is an important part of the aluminum hydroxide market. Aluminum hydroxide is used as a flocculent in water purification process.

Aluminum hydroxide is also finding its application as an adsorbent or desiccant in gas purification process. In pharmaceutical industry aluminum hydroxide is used in the formulation of antacids due to its basic properties. Aluminum hydroxide is also used as filler material for fire retardants.
