Alum is a group of hydrated double sulfates of aluminum and other elements such as potassium or ammonium. It is widely used in water treatment, food processing, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Below are the general specifications for different types of alum:
Common Types of Alum:
1. Potassium Alum (KAl(SO)12O) - Used in water purification, food, and cosmetics
2. Ammonium Alum (NHAl(SO)12HO) - Used in industrial and water treatment applications
3. Sodium Alum (NaAl(SO)12HO) - Used in food processing and baking powder
4. Ferric Alum (FeAl(SO)12HO) - Used in water treatment and paper manufacturing
Physical Properties:
Appearance: White, transparent crystalline solid or powder
Color: White or colorless (can be slightly yellow in ferric alum)
Odor: Odorless
Taste: Astringent and slightly sweet
Solubility: Soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol
Alum powder is a fine, white crystalline powder derived from aluminum sulfate compounds. It is widely used in water purification, food processing cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications. Below are the general specifications for alum powder:
Types of Alum Powder:
1. Potassium Alum Powder (KAl(SO)12HO) - Used in food, water treatment, and cosmetics
2. Ammonium Alum Powder (NHAl(SO)·12HO) - Used in industrial and textile applications
3. Sodium Alum Powder (NaAl(SO)12HO)-Used in baking powder and food processing
4. Ferric Alum Powder (FeAl(SO)12HO)- Used in water treatment and paper industries

Alum, also known as aluminum sulfate, is a chemical compound with the formula Al2(SO4)3. It is widely recognized for its versatile applications in various industries. Alum is commonly used as a coagulant in water treatment processes to clarify turbid water by removing suspended particles. Additionally, it has a history of use in pickling to crisp fruits and vegetables and as an ingredient in baking powder for leavening. Alum also finds use in cosmetics, textiles, and as a mordant in dyeing processes. Its astringent properties have made it a traditional remedy for various skin conditions. Overall, alum's ability to form solid precipitates and its diverse range of applications make it a valuable chemical compound in both industrial and household settings.
The pottery stone ore shown in the earlier photograph is a particularly high-quality special-grade material among our pottery stones. Pottery stones are generally finely crushed, and used as the material for ceramics, bone china, and sanitary ware (toilets, sinks, etc.).
Products are shipped out from our mine in sizes of <= 10 mm obtained by roughly crushing the stones. They are shipped in bulk or by filling flexible containers using large trucks.
