Aluminium Sulphate (Non-Ferric Alum)

What is Non-Ferric Aluminium Sulphate?

Non ferric aluminium sulphate is a high-purity aluminium salt with the chemical formula:

Al2(SO4)3⋅18H2O

It contains extremely low iron content (Fe ≤ 0.01%), which prevents colour contamination in sensitive applications like drinking water treatment, paper manufacturing, and textile processing.

This makes it a preferred choice over standard aluminium sulphate for industries where purity and clarity are essential.

Available Grades of Non-Ferric Aluminium Sulphate

Globex Venture offers Non-Ferric Aluminium Sulphate in 3 physical forms to suit different dosing systems, process requirements, and handling preferences across industries.

01

Aluminium Sulphate Powder

It is also known as non ferric alum powder,is a white free-flowing powder available in 20 to 80 mesh size with fast water solubility for quick dosing and rapid coagulation. Ideal for applications that require high purity, consistent quality, and efficient treatment performance.

Best For: Water Treatment, Paper Industry, ETP facilities

02

Aluminium Sulphate Granules

Medium-particle granular form offering controlled dissolution rates and lower dust generation during handling. Suitable for industrial applications that require metered dosing over a sustained period.

Best For: Textile, Sugar, ETP Plants

03

Aluminium Sulphate Lumps

Solid crystalline lumps are used where large-volume dissolution tanks are in place and where slow-release characteristics of the coagulant are acceptable. Common in cement accelerators and waterproofing applications.

Best For: Construction, Bulk Industrial Use

Industrial Applications of Aluminium Sulphate

Non-Ferric Aluminium Sulphate is one of the most versatile industrial coagulants and processing aids across seven major sectors. Its consistent quality and high alumina content make it effective across a wide range of operating conditions.

01

Drinking Water Treatment

Primary coagulant for removing turbidity, suspended particles, and contaminants. Iron-free composition ensures clear, potable water.

02

Wastewater and Effluent Treatment

Used for solid-liquid separation and removal of phosphates, heavy metals, and suspended solids. Helps reduce BOD and COD levels.

03

Paper and Pulp Industry

Acts as a sizing agent to control porosity, improve surface finish, and strengthen fibre bonding. Prevents yellowing in white paper products.

04

Textile Industry

Used as a mordant and fixing agent for better dye binding and colour fastness. Prevents dye bleeding and improves uniform colour uptake.

05

Sugar Industry

Clarifies raw cane and beet juice by removing impurities and colour-forming compounds. Improves sugar purity and crystallisation yield.

06

Construction and Cement Industry

Works as a set accelerator and waterproofing additive in cement and concrete. Reduces setting time and improves water resistance.

07

Chemical and Process Industries

Used as a processing aid for precipitation, pH regulation, and flocculation. Ideal where high purity and iron-free performance are required.

What is Non-Ferric Aluminium Sulphate and how is it different from regular Alum?

Non-Ferric Aluminium Sulphate is a refined grade of aluminium sulphate produced with an iron (Fe) content of 0.01% or less. Standard aluminium sulphate may contain higher iron impurities that introduce a yellow or brownish discolouration in treated water, paper, or textiles. The Non-Ferric grade eliminates this contamination entirely, making it essential for drinking water purification, paper manufacturing, and any application where colour purity is a requirement of the end product or process.

The CAS number for Aluminium Sulphate (anhydrous) is 10043-01-3, and for the octadecahydrate form it is 7784-31-8. The HS Code for customs classification and import-export documentation is 283322. These identifiers are available on all commercial invoices and export documents provided by Globex Venture.

Yes. Aluminium Sulphate is one of the most widely used coagulants globally for treating drinking water and is approved under major water quality standards. When dosed correctly by qualified water treatment operators, it effectively removes turbidity and microbial contaminants. The Non-Ferric grade is specifically preferred for potable water applications because it introduces no iron discoloration. Always follow dosing guidelines and regulatory requirements applicable in your region.
