PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

Aluminum trichloride (hexahydrate) is an inorganic compound.

It is a colorless crystalline solid, soluble in water and many organic solvents.

2, Aluminum trichloride (hexahydrate) can be hydrolyzed at room temperature, releasing hydrochloric acid gas. It is strongly hygroscopic and can rapidly absorb moisture in the air to form hydrates.

3, The compound is a multi-purpose chemical reagent, widely used in chemical laboratories and industrial production. It is often used as a corrosive agent for aluminum to promote the chlorination reaction of organic compounds.

4, Aluminum trichloride (hexahydrate) has a rapid absorption capacity for water and moisture, it should be stored in sealed containers to avoid exposure to humid environments. Protective measures should be taken when using it to avoid direct contact with skin and eyes to avoid causing irritation.

 

USES

It is a colorless crystal that can be crystallized from an aqueous solution. Aluminum trichloride (hexahydrate) has a wide range of uses in the chemical industry and laboratory.

1, Aluminum trichloride (hexahydrate) is widely used as a catalyst in organic synthesis reactions. It can be used as a strong acid catalyst, which plays the role of catalyst in many organic chemical reactions. For example, it can be used in esterification reaction, alkylation reaction, saccharification reaction and so on. It can also catalyze the polymerization reaction of olefin and catalyze the aromatization reaction.

2, aluminum trichloride (hexahydrate) in the preparation of dyes and dye intermediates also have applications. It can be used as an initiator in the synthesis of dyes to promote the reaction of certain organic compounds. It can also be used as a synthesizer of dye intermediates to generate dyes by reacting with other compounds.

3, aluminum trichloride (hexahydrate) also has uses in water treatment. It can be used to remove contaminants from water such as pigments, heavy metal ions and organic matter. It can react with these pollutants to form insoluble precipitates so that the pollutants in the water can be removed.

4. Aluminum trichloride (hexahydrate) is also commonly used in the preparation of other compounds, flame retardants and catalysts.
