Abstract:

AlCl3·6H2O crystal was prepared from solution of ammonium aluminum sulfate using HCl gas sparging with ammonium aluminum sulfate dodecahydrate as raw material.The effects of sparging rate,sparging time of HCl gas,reaction temperature and initial concentration of Al 3+ on the morphology of AlCl3·6H2O crystal were investigated.Results showed that when the sparging rate was 60 mL/min,the sparging time was 2 h and the initial mass concentration of Al 3+ was 20 g/L in 50 mL ammonium sulfate aqueous solution, AlCl3·6H2O products with good shape could be obtained at 30 ℃ reaction temperature.It provided a technical reference for the extraction and preparation of high quality aluminum chloride hexahydrate crystals.

Key words: ammonium aluminum sulfate dodecahydrate, hydrogen chloride, aluminum chloride hexahydrate
