Aluminum chloride, AlCl3, is well-known as a catalyst for organic reactions. This compound is soluble in water, hydrogen chloride, ethanol, chloroform, CCl4 and is slightly soluble in benzene. It is a silver-white powder but sometimes turns to yellow if it is contaminated by ferric chloride. It tends to absorb water easily (hygroscopic) to form monohydrate or hexahydrate. Aluminum chloride is a corrosive substance and it is also very toxic. It can cause high damage to the eyes, skin, and respiratory systems if inhaled or upon contact.
Applications and Importance of Aluminum Chloride
Aluminum chloride is widely used for Friedel-Crafts reaction as a catalyst. AlCl3 works as an electron acceptor (Lewis Acid). AlCl3 is able to direct the reaction more efficiently and effectively. This catalyst is used to synthesize alkyl benzene from alkyl halide and benzene. It is also used for many industrial applications such as petrochemical manufacture, pharmaceuticals, dyes intermediates, and other organic chemicals. Moreover, it can be used for the metallurgical industry, cosmetics, antiperspirants, metallurgical industry, and lubricants.
Exploring Opportunities for Procuring High-Quality Aluminum Chloride from Iran
Aluminium chloride is produced in Iran in different grades, what a foreign country needs is to find a reliable local partner to work with, check the analysis of the aluminium chloride which is produced in Iran, then check the shipping routes with payment methods and then make final decisions.
Because of high quality of the aluminium chloride produced in Iran, foreign companies can buy alulminium chloride from Iran and don’t worry about the quality changes, because the quality is controlled by the factory from one side and usually Altin Alish Verish Company is also dedicated to control the quality before packaging and loading to the shipment.
