Aluminum Salts (solutions/mists) — properties & control

Examples: Aluminum sulfate (Al₂(SO₄)₃), Aluminum chloride (AlCl₃) Context: Acidic/metal-salt aerosols (not true vapours)
WARNING — corrosive acid mists; primary risks are equipment corrosion and respiratory irritation. Design around high-efficiency mist removal and strict effluent Al/pH control.
Phase
Aerosols / mists
Corrosivity
High (↑ with chloride)
Solubility
Water solutions (acidic)
Typical sources
Dosing tanks, pickling, chemical prep
Toxicity
low–moderate (irritant)
Flammability
not flammable
Chronic risk
low (non-Cr(VI))
Environmental
effluent Al / pH limits
AspectDetail
Emission formAcid mists/particulate droplets, not gas.
Droplet spectrum & demister Sub-micron–few µm. Use HE chevron for ≥3–5 µm; add fiberbed for sub-micron capture.
Expected removal~90–>99.9% overall with correct selection (velocity, pads, two-stage).
MaterialsFRP, PVC-C, PP; 316L only in chloride-limited service. Avoid carbon steel.
