Aluminum chlorohydrate III: Conversion to aluminum hydroxide
Abstract
Bayerite, an aluminum hydroxide polymorph, readily forms when the hydroxyl to aluminum ratio of aluminum chlorohydrate is raised to 3 by titration with sodium hydroxide. Dilution of aluminum chlorhydrate solutions with water leads to the formation of gibbsite, another aluminum hydroxide polymorph. The mechanism of conversion in each instance is related to the structure of the Al13O4(OH)24(H2O)7+(12) complex.
