Aluminum Sulphate

Uses of Aluminum Sulfate

1. As a Water Purifier

Aluminum sulfate or alum functions as a flocculator, which is to collect dirt in the water purification process. Basically, suspended particles in water have a stable specific electric charge. The addition of aluminum sulfate to water can neutralize the electric charge of suspended particles so that a larger particle system is formed which is commonly called coagulation. After the coarse particles continue to combine and reach a certain size, the dirt will settle to the bottom and the water will turn clear.

2. Clean the Armpits

Besides being used as a water purifier, Aluminum sulfate can also be used as a substitute for deodorant. So using aluminum sulfate or alum can make the armpits much cleaner, odorless, and can also lighten the armpit folds.

3. In addition to the Composition

Aluminum sulfate or alum is also widely used for beauty or treatment. The use of Aluminum sulfate also does not have a low toxic impact but in its use it is used only in small amounts. If in excessive use or in large quantities it is feared that it will have side effects on the skin and consequently harm the human body.
