Aluminum hydroxide, with the chemical formula Al(OH)3, is a white, amorphous powder that is commonly encountered as a hydrate. It is a versatile compound with several important characteristics. As a weak base, it can react with acids to form aluminum salts, and it is often used as an antacid in medicine to neutralize stomach acid. In its hydrated form, aluminum hydroxide typically contains water molecules integrated into its structure, which can influence its physical properties, such as solubility and stability. It is insoluble in water but can dissolve in strong bases, forming aluminate ions. Aluminum hydroxide is also utilized in various industrial applications, including water purification, as a filler in plastics, and as a flame retardant. Additionally, it plays a role in the production of aluminum metal through the Bayer process. Safety considerations include its potential to cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes, and it should be handled with appropriate precautions in laboratory and industrial settings.

Aluminium hydroxide hydrate

Aluminum hydroxide hydrate is a white powder with a chemical formula of Al(OH)3. It has been shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect and inhibit the production of proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in wild-type mice. The mechanism for this effect may be due to aluminum's ability to bind to the carboxy terminal of TNF-α and interfere with its interaction with receptors. Aluminum hydroxide hydrate is also used in histological analysis of colorectal carcinomas and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which are used for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease and osteoarthritis, respectively.
