Widely used industrial reagent, usually mixed with alum
Usually used as flocculants for water purification and sewage treatment facilities were also used for paper industry
Also very effective insecticide mollusks can kill Spanish slug
Used for water and in textile dyeing and printing as medium
In water purification, makes impurity condensation, sedimentation and filtration easier
When dissolved in large number of neutral or slightly alkaline water, produced precipitate of aluminum hydroxide, AL(OH)3
When dyeing fabric, aluminum hydroxide gel makes easier to dye attached to top of plant fiber
Also used to adjust soil pH, because also hydrolysis of aluminum hydroxide produced small amount of dilute solution of sulfuric acid
