Aluminum Hydroxide from Aluminum Sulfate and Soda Ash
This report presents the economics of a typical Aluminum Hydroxide Gel production process from aluminum sulfate and soda ash in the United States. In the process, soda ash and aluminum sulfate are dissolved in water and undergo a neutralization reaction to produce the aluminum hydroxide gel.

Aluminum Hydroxide Production from Bauxite
This study examines the economics of Aluminum Hydroxide (Aluminum Trihydroxide, ATH) production from bauxite via the typical Bayer process, in a plant located in the United States. In this process, bauxite is dissolved in a sodium hydroxide solution under pressure at elevated temperatures, solid impurities are separated, the Aluminum Hydroxide solution is subjected to crystallization, then filtered and dried.
