| General description: | Aluminum hydroxide (Al (OH)3) is an amphoteric compound, soluble in both base and acids. It is used as a precursor for alumina catalysts and flame-retardant materials. Aluminum hydroxide is primarily used as a feedstock to produce other aluminum compounds, including sodium aluminate, activated alumina, aluminum nitrate, zeolites, polyaluminum chloride, aluminum chloride, and specialty calcined aluminas. |
