Aluminum Sesquichlorohydrate
Aly(OH)3y-zClz·nH2O
Aluminum chlorohydroxide. Aluminum hydroxychloride [11097-68-0]. » Aluminum Sesquichlorohydrate consists of complex basic aluminum chloride that is polymeric and loosely hydrated and encompasses a range of aluminum-to-chloride atomic ratios between 1.26:1 and 1.90:1. It contains not less than 90.0 percent and not more than 110.0 percent of the labeled amount of anhydrous aluminum sesquichlorohydrate.
Packaging and storage
Preserve in well-closed containers.
Labeling
The label states the content of anhydrous aluminum sesquichlorohydrate.
pH 791:
between 3.0 and 5.0, in a solution [15 in 100 (w/w)].
Arsenic, Method I 211:
2 µg per g.
Heavy metals, Method I 231:
20 µg per g.
Limit of iron
Using Aluminum Sesquichlorohydrate instead of Aluminum Chlorohydrate, proceed as directed in the test for Limit of iron under Aluminum Chlorohydrate. The limit is 150 µg per g.
Content of aluminum
Using Aluminum Sesquichlorohydrate instead of Aluminum Chlorohydrate, proceed as directed in the test for Content of aluminum under Aluminum Chlorohydrate. Use the result obtained to calculate the Aluminum/chloride atomic ratio.
Content of chloride
Using Aluminum Sesquichlorohydrate instead of Aluminum Chlorohydrate, proceed as directed in the test for Content of chloride under Aluminum Chlorohydrate. Use the result obtained to calculate the Aluminum/chloride atomic ratio.
Aluminum/chloride atomic ratio
Divide the percentage of aluminum found in the test for Content of aluminum by the percentage of chloride found in the test for Content of chloride, and multiply by 35.453/26.98, in which 35.453 and 26.98 are the atomic weights of chlorine and aluminum, respectively: the ratio is between 1.26:1 and 1.90:1.
Assay
Calculate the percentage of anhydrous aluminum sesquichlorohydrate in the Aluminum Sesquichlorohydrate by the formula:
Al({26.98x + [17.01(3x 1)] + 35.453} / 26.98x)
in which Al is the percentage of aluminum found in the test for Content of aluminum, x is the aluminum/chloride atomic ratio found in the test for Aluminum/chloride atomic ratio, 26.98 is the atomic weight of aluminum, 17.01 is the molecular weight of the hydroxide anion (OH), and 35.453 is the atomic weight of chlorine (Cl).
