CAS 25838-59-9: Aluminum nitrate hydrate

Aluminium(III) nitrate hydrate

Aluminum nitrate hydrate is used to produce alumina for the preparation of insulating papers, and in the extraction of actinide elements. It is also used in the preparation of rare earth aluminates, in the heating elements of cathode ray tubes, as a precursor for sol-gel synthesis of alumina, and on transformer core laminates. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Aluminium(III) nitrate hydrate

Aluminium nitrate hydrate is an inorganic compound that belongs to the group of metal hydroxides. It is a white powder with a low energy reaction solution and particle size. The redox potential of aluminium nitrate hydrate is +1.6 V, which means it has a high tendency to lose electrons and be reduced. Aluminium nitrate hydrate can be used as a catalyst for reactions with electron acceptors such as oxygen or hydrogen peroxide, or as an oxidizer for reactions with electron donors such as sulfuric acid or sodium sulfate. Aluminium nitrate hydrate can also be used in industrial chemicals, such as electroplating solutions, paints, and explosives.
