Chemische Eigenschaften
white to colourless crystals
Verwenden
Aluminium potassium sulfate dodecahydrate is a white crystal that is soluble in water. It is made by roasting alunite in a furnace and then harvesting the product by crystallization. Aluminium potassium sulfate dodecahydrate was used to harden gelatin emulsions by introduction, by bathing the exposed plates prior to development, or by use in the fixing bath. Mixed with citric or other acids, it was also used as a clearing bath to remove developer stains in negatives.
Definition
ChEBI: A hydrate resulting from the the formal combination of anhydrous potassium aluminium sulfate with 12 mol eq. of water.
Vorbereitung Methode
Potassium alum is manufactured by treating bauxite with sulfuric
acid and then potassium sulfate. Alternatively, aluminum sulfate is
reacted with potassium sulfate.
Allgemeine Beschreibung
Aluminum potassium sulfate dodecahydrate is an inorganic sulfate salt of aluminum and potassium. Linear growth rates of (100), (111) and (110) faces of its crystals have been investigated.
Health Hazard
Prolonged periods of exposure to aluminum and dust cause symptoms of toxicity that
include, but are not limited to, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, memory loss,
learning diffi culty, loss of coordination, disorientation, mental confusion, colic, heartburn,
fl atulence, and headaches. Chronic exposures to alumina dust cause irritation to the eyes,
Pharmazeutische Anwendungen
Potassium alum precipitates proteins and is a powerful astringent.
The ability to precipitate proteins is utilized in the manufacture of
vaccines, where purified proteins are coprecipitated with and
adsorbed onto potassium alum.
Potassium alum is often included in preparations used as
mouthwashes or gargles and in dermatological preparations, and
it may be used as a topical hemostatic, either as a solid or as a
solution. Intravesical instillation of potassium alum, typically as a
1% solution, has been used for hemorrhagic cystitis.
Sicherheit(Safety)
Potassium alum is often included in preparations used as
mouthwashes or gargles and in dermatological preparations.
Large doses of potassium alum act as an irritant and may be
corrosive; gum necrosis and gastrointestinal hemorrhage have
occurred. Acute encephalopathy has been reported following
bladder irrigation with alum solutions in the treatment of bladder
hemorrhage. Anecdotal evidence suggests that this practice should
be avoided for patients with renal insufficiency.
Lager
Store in a cool, dry place in tightly closed containers. Stable under
normal temperatures and pressures. When kept for a long time at
60–65°C (or over sulfuric acid) potassium alum dodecahydrate
loses water, which is reabsorbed on exposure to air. It becomes
anhydrous at about 200°C.
läuterung methode
Crystallise it from weak aqueous H2SO4 (ca 0.5mL/g). Its solubility (%) in H2O is 5.7 (0o), 12.0 (20o) and 136.9 (100o).
Inkompatibilitäten
Potassium alum is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents,
aluminum, copper, steel, and zinc. When it is dispensed in powders
with phenol, salicylates, or tannic acid, gray or green colors may be
developed owing to traces of iron in the alum.
Vorsichtsmaßnahmen
Aminocarb decomposes on heating and produces toxic fumes, irritating fumes, and oxides
of nitrogen. During handling of aminocarb workers should wear protective clothing,
gloves, face shield, breathing protection and avoid open flames.
Regulatory Status
GRAS listed. Included in the FDA Inactive Ingredients Database
(vaginal; suppository). Included in medicines licensed in the UK.
