A1 uminum Compounds a s Phosphorus Precipi tants

Alurjnum ions can combine w i t h phosphate ions t o form aluminum 3-

phosphate as follows: A13+ + PO4 * A1P04. - The above equation indicates t h a t the mole r a t i o for A1=P04 i s

1 = 1 . Inasmuch a s the mol'e r a t i o of P = PO4 i s a lso 1 = 1 , the

mole r a t i o fo r A1 = P I s 1 = 1 o r A1 = 7 when both aluminum and

phosphorus a re expressed i n terms of gram-moles o r lb-moles. On

a weight , rather than a mole basis, this means t h a t 27 l b s of A 1 will

react w i t h 95 l b of PO4 t o form 122 lb of A1 PO4.

( 1 1b-mole) of PO4 contains 31 lbs ( 1 15 mole) of P the weight re1at:onship

Since each 95 lbs

The principal source of aluninum fo r use i n phosphorus precipitation

i s "alum" a hydrated aluminum s u l f a t e , having the approximate formula

A I 2 (S04)3 14 H20 (molecular weight of 594).

The chemical which is a l s o known as a " f i l t e r alum" o r "paper maker's

alum" average about 17% soluble aluminum expressed as A1203 or about

9.1% expressed a s A l .

A I 2 (S04)3 14 H20 + 2P043- - 2ALP04 + 3 S04'- + 14 H20. Its reaction w i t h PO4 may be written as follows: The su l fa te remains i n solution as S04*'. T h e above reaction

indicates t h a t 1 lb-mole of alum (594 l b ) will react w i t h 2 lb-mole

(190 lb ) of PW3' containing 62 l b phosphorus to form 2 l b moles (244

l b ) of AlP04.

9.6:7,

der ived from the A l = P mole r a t i o a s follows:

The alum requirement per pound o f phosphorus may a l s o be

Mole r a t i o AI :P=l : l

A l u m contains 9.1% A l .

therefore weight r a t i o A 1 : P = 27:31=0.87=1

Therefore, alum required per l b of P = 0.87 = K-0771
