ALNA®
Sodium aluminate
Sodium aluminate is a product obtained from the dissolution of aluminium hydroxide (gibbsite) in sodium hydroxide. IQE produces sodium aluminates in solution, in the form of a transparent liquid, within the ALNA® series.
The products of the ALNA® series are an excellent source of reactive alumina in alkaline solution and this is the main reason for its use as a raw material in many industrial processes.
It is used in waste water treatment, it is a shotcrete set accelerator; it is also used in the paper industry as an auxiliary refining agent and retaining agent, and other uses are described as a raw material in catalytical supports, zeolites, etc.
