INTRODUCTION
Aluminium because of its low density, high
tensile strength and resistance to corrosion is widely used
for the manufacture of aeroplanes, automobiles lawn
furniture as well as for aluminium cans. Being good
conductor of electricity it is used for transmission of
electricity. Aluminium is also used for making utensils.
The recycling of aluminium cans and other aluminium
products is a very positive contribution to saving our
natural resources. Most of the recycled aluminium is
melted and recast into other aluminium metal products or
used in the production of various aluminium compounds,
the most common of which are the alums. Alums are
double sulphates having general formula
X2SO4.M2(SO4)3.24H2O
X = Monovalent cation;
M = Trivalent cation

THEORY
Aluminum metal is treated with hot aqueous KOH
solution. Aluminium dissolves as potassium aluminate,
KAl(OH)4, salt.
2Al(s) + 2KOH(aq) + 6H2O(l)
