7784-31-8 Usage
Uses
Different sources of media describe the Uses of 7784-31-8 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. The compound is used heavily in the paper industry. In its acidic solution form, which contains a slight excess of H2SO4, it is used for pH control of pulp slurries, treatment of process waters, setting of dyes and also for precipitating dissolved resin for setting the size on the fibers. In slight basic form (containing a slight excess of Al2O3), it is used for treatment of drinking and waste waters (e.g., for reducing phosphorus content). Other major applications include dyeing, tanning, catalysts, modification of concrete, and in the manufacture of various chemicals and pharmaceutical products.
2. Aluminium sulfate octadecahydrate is a preservative, the inclusive term for several inum-type compounds such as inum sulfate and inum potassium sulfate. It is used with edta to prevent discoloration of potatoes and to maintain the firmness of shrimp packs. It is also used in pickles and pickle relish.
Preparation
Prepared from bauxite, kaolin or aluminum compounds on reaction with H2SO4. The insoluble silicic acid is filtered out; the hydrate salt forms on crystallization.
Chemical Properties
white crystalline powder and chunks
Physical properties
White crystal; sweet taste; density 1.62 g/cm3: decomposes at 86.5°C; soluble in water.
Definition
ChEBI: A hydrate resulting from the the formal combination of anhydrous aluminium sulfate with approximately 18 mol eq. of water. The commercial product usually contains 5-10% less water than theory. It is one of the commonest hydrates of aluminium sulfate.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 7784-31-8 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 7,7,8 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 1 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 7784-31:
(6*7)+(5*7)+(4*8)+(3*4)+(2*3)+(1*1)=128
128 % 10 = 8
So 7784-31-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
