D. Ornek et al., PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL-PROPERTIES OF A HIGHLY VISCOUS ALUMINUM SULFATEMELT, Industrial & engineering chemistry research, 37(7), 1998, pp. 2687-2690
The physical and chemical properties of the commercial aluminum sulfat
e melt that do not exist in the literature were measured in this study
. The aluminum content of commercial aluminum sulfate hydrate varies b
etween 16 and 17% Al2O3. The viscosity of this product is in the range
160-260 cP, density is in the range 1.705-1.735 g/cm(3), and the surf
ace tension is predicted to be 105 dyn/cm. These properties change sha
rply with temperature and concentration.
