Synthesis and characterization of a new aluminium-based compound
Abstract
A new aluminium polynuclear crystalline species, Al13(OH)30(H2O)15Cl9 has been synthesized and characterized. It is a particular case of the Al13(OH)30−y(H2O)18−xCl9·zH2O family. It has been obtained from aluminium waste cans treated with HCl solution in strong acid media, followed by an ageing period. The crystalline structure of the complex was determined by
