Description

Aluminum oxide hydroxide, also known as alumina trihydrate (ATH), is a naturally occurring mineral and a synthetic compound with the chemical formula AlO(OH). It exists in several crystalline forms, the most common being boehmite and diaspore. The compound is synthesized through various methods, including precipitation from aluminum salts, hydrothermal synthesis, and controlled oxidation of aluminum metal. Aluminum oxide hydroxide is highly valued for its flame retardant properties, acting as a heat barrier and releasing water vapor upon heating, which can help extinguish flames. Its inert nature, high surface area, and good adsorption capacity make it suitable for applications in various industries, including ceramics, pigments, fillers, adsorbents, and catalysts. Studies on aluminum oxide hydroxide focus on understanding its crystal structure, synthesizing new polymorphs, and optimizing its properties for specific applications, especially in the development of advanced materials and sustainable technologies.'
