Thermal transformation of aluminum hydroxide, nordstrandite.

Large aqueous aluminum hydroxide molecules.

One of the first subjects introduced to students of environmental chemistry is the aqueous chemistry of aluminum. This metal is the third most abundant element in the shallow Earth, where it hydrolyzes in water to produce a rich array of solute molecules and solids, including clays and aluminum hydroxide phases. Although these materials are ubiquitous, we are just beginning to understand the ki...

Molecular cluster models of aluminum oxide and aluminum hydroxide surfaces

Ab initio, molecular orbital calculations for two different Hartree-Fock basis levels were performed on clusters in the system Al-O-H, and tested by comparing derived vibrational frequencies to the measured values for aluminum oxides and aluminum oxyhydroxide minerals. Models were chosen to reflect surface groups that may be present on aluminous minerals such as a-Al2O3 (corundum) and Al(OH)3 (...

Perchlorate removal by acidified zero-valent aluminum and aluminum hydroxide.

Removal of perchlorate using either acid-washed zero-valent aluminum or aluminum hydroxide was studied in batch reactors under ambient temperature and pressure. Approximately 90-95% of perchlorate was removed within 24h in the presence of 35 g L(-1) aluminum at acidic pH (4.5+/-0.2). Although aluminum is a strong reductant, this study indicated no explicit evidence to support perchlorate reduct...

Induced with an Aluminum Hydroxide Vaccine

Mice immunized with a subcutaneous protocol combining killed para­ sites and aluminum hydroxide gel exhibited significant resistance against subsequent challenge with Leishmania donovani promastigotes. Protec­ tion was greatest using 25 mg of aluminum hydroxide per injection. Resis­ tance elicited by this killed parasite and aluminum hydroxide protocol was as effective on day 14 as that provide...
