Detailed Product Description of Industrial-Grade Solid Iron-Free Aluminum Sulfate
Industrial-grade solid iron-free aluminum sulfate (Al₂(SO₄)₃·nH₂O) is a high-purity inorganic polymer flocculant refined through a special iron removal process. It appears as white or off-white crystalline powder or granules, is odorless and non-toxic, and exhibits excellent water solubility, stability, and high-efficiency adsorption and flocculation performance. Its core advantage lies in its extremely low iron content (conventional grade ≤ 0.005%), which completely solves problems such as product discoloration, application scenario pollution, and equipment wear caused by iron impurities in ordinary industrial aluminum sulfate. It is widely suitable for industrial fields including industrial wastewater treatment, papermaking, printing and dyeing, chemical engineering, and environmental protection.
I. Core Product Features (Focused on Industrial Scenarios, Highlighting the Iron-Free Core Advantage)
Compared with conventional industrial-grade aluminum sulfate, industrial-grade solid iron-free aluminum sulfate is processed through multiple iron removal and refining procedures, resulting in significant improvements in purity, performance and industrial applicability. Its core characteristics focus on "high purity, iron-free contamination, stable performance and compatibility with industrial working conditions", which precisely meet the stringent requirements of industrial production, as detailed below:
1.1 Morphological and Structural Characteristics (Adapted for Industrial Batch Use)
- Neat appearance with intuitively visible purity: The product appears as a white or off-white crystalline powder or granules (particle size can be customized according to industrial working conditions), featuring uniform crystals, no caking, no impurities, no visible black spots or colored particles, and consistent color. Different from the grayish-white or light yellow appearance of ordinary industrial aluminum sulfate, it intuitively demonstrates its iron-free advantage. The product purity can be quickly judged by its appearance, preventing process abnormalities caused by impurities in industrial production.
-
- Stable crystalline structure, convenient for industrial storage: It exists as aluminum sulfate hexahydrate or octadecahydrate crystals with a stable molecular structure, resistant to weathering and decomposition. Under conventional industrial storage conditions (dry and ventilated), it hardly absorbs moisture or cakes, ensuring long-term stability of product performance and meeting the requirements of large-scale industrial storage and long-term turnover.
-
- Excellent water solubility, suitable for rapid industrial operations: It is readily soluble in water but insoluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. At room temperature (20°C), its solubility can reach 36g per 100mL of water, with a fast dissolution rate. After dissolution, it forms a clear and transparent aqueous solution without precipitation or turbidity, requiring no prolonged stirring. It is adaptable to scenarios involving continuous on-site industrial operations and rapid dosing, such as wastewater treatment workshops and paper production lines.
-
-
1.2 Core Performance Characteristics (Tailored to Industrial Production Requirements)
- Extremely low iron content, eliminating secondary industrial pollution: Its core advantage lies in an iron content of ≤0.005% (high-purity industrial grade with ≤0.003% iron content is available for customization), which is far lower than that of ordinary industrial aluminum sulfate (iron content ≥0.5%). During industrial applications, iron impurity oxidation will not cause discoloration of aqueous solutions or yellowing of products, avoiding contamination of industrial raw materials, finished products and treatment media (such as printing and dyeing fabrics, paper pulp, and industrial wastewater effluent). Meanwhile, it reduces corrosion of industrial equipment and pipelines caused by iron impurities, lowering equipment maintenance costs.
-
- Outstanding adsorption and flocculation performance, improving industrial treatment efficiency: The aqueous solution is acidic and hydrolyzes to form aluminum hydroxide colloid, which has extremely strong adsorption capacity. It can rapidly adsorb impurities such as suspended solids, colloidal particles, organic matter, and heavy metal ions in industrial wastewater, forming dense and large flocs with a fast sedimentation rate (≥18mm/min, tested with tap water). Its flocculation effect is superior to that of ordinary aluminum sulfate, with lower dosage. It can significantly enhance the efficiency of industrial wastewater treatment and water purification, and reduce the cost of industrial chemical consumption.
-
- Strong stability and adaptability to complex industrial working conditions: It maintains stable performance and is not easily decomposed within a temperature range of 5-60℃ and a pH range of 2-8. It can adapt to various types of industrial wastewater (such as high-turbidity wastewater, acidic wastewater, and heavy metal-containing wastewater) as well as different production processes. It does not undergo antagonistic reactions with common industrial inorganic and organic chemicals, featuring strong compatibility. It can be used synergistically with other flocculants and coagulant aids to further enhance treatment effects, making it suitable for complex industrial operating conditions.
-
- Non-toxic and environmentally friendly, complying with industrial environmental protection standards: The product itself is non-toxic and non-irritating, leaving no harmful residues after dissolution. Treated industrial wastewater can meet the national industrial wastewater discharge standard (GB 8978-1996). It poses no harm to the environment or human health, satisfies industrial environmental protection acceptance requirements, and helps enterprises achieve green production.
-
- Low corrosivity and reduced wear on industrial equipment: Compared with other industrial inorganic flocculants (such as polyaluminum chloride and ferrous sulfate), it has lower corrosivity and causes less damage to industrial equipment and transportation pipelines. It can be directly stored and transported using ordinary carbon steel and plastic equipment without additional anti-corrosion treatment, significantly reducing the equipment maintenance costs for industrial users.
1.3 Industrial Exclusive Adaptation Features
- Suitable for high-volume industrial applications: Available in both granular and powder forms. The granular form is convenient for large-scale storage and transportation, making it ideal for bulk use by large industrial enterprises (such as water plants, large paper mills, and chemical industrial parks); the powder form dissolves quickly, suitable for small-batch rapid operations in small industrial workshops and laboratories.
-
- Suitable for industry-sensitive processes: In industrial scenarios such as paper sizing and printing and dyeing fixation, its iron-free property can prevent product discoloration and uneven color, ensure stable quality of finished industrial products, improve the yield rate of finished products, and reduce production losses caused by impurities.
-

Compared with ordinary aluminum sulfate, it has stronger adaptability to low temperatures and can be used for industrial wastewater treatment in northern China during winter and low-temperature production processes. No additional heating is required, reducing industrial energy consumption.
-
- Suitable for the treatment of complex industrial wastewater: It can treat various types of industrial wastewater such as electroplating wastewater, chemical wastewater, aquaculture wastewater, slaughterhouse wastewater, printing and dyeing wastewater, etc. It can effectively flocculate and remove impurities in wastewater including heavy metal ions (such as lead, cadmium, chromium), suspended solids and organic matters, enabling the wastewater to meet discharge standards or be recycled, thus meeting the requirements of industrial environmental protection governance.
