Aluminum sulfate is used in water treatment and in many chemical processes. It can be made by reacting crushed bauxite (aluminum ore) with 77.7 weight percent sulfuric acid. The bauxite ore contains 55.4 weight percent aluminum oxide, the remainder being impurities. To produce crude aluminum sulfate containing 2000 lb of pure aluminum sulfate, 1080 lb of bauxite and 2510 lb of sulfuric acid solution (77.7% acid) are used.
