What is Aluminum Sulfate Used For?
Aluminium sulfate can be used for water purification, and it also acts as a mordant in dyeing and printing textiles. In water purification, it causes suspended impurities to coagulate into larger particles and then settle to the bottom of the container (or be filtered out) more easily.
