Physical Properties of Aluminum Chloride:
Aluminum Chloride is available in two main forms: anhydrous (AlCl₃) and hexahydrate (AlCl₃·6H₂O). In its pure anhydrous form, it appears as a white to pale yellow solid. This substance reacts with moisture in the air and releases hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas; therefore, it should be stored in tightly sealed containers and kept in a dry environment. It also tends to sublime at elevated temperatures.
Applications of Aluminum Chloride
• Petrochemical and chemical industries as a catalyst for organic reactions
• Production of paints, resins, and chemical intermediates
• Pharmaceutical industry
• Water and wastewater treatment
• Cosmetics and personal care industry, especially in the production of antiperspirants
