Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate

In the USA, UAE, Iran Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and other oil producing areas, several hundred chemical compounds are used in hydraulic fracturing also called fracking, fracing or frac. In some areas like UK only ‘Non-Hazardous’ chemicals are permitted for fracturing fluids by the Environment Agency. All chemicals have to be declared publicly and increasingly, food additive based chemicals are available to allow fracking to take place safely.

Aluminium Chloride Hexahydrate BP Grade Ph Eur

AlCl3,6H2O — 241.4 — 7784-13-6

DEFINITION
Content: 95.0 per cent to 101.0 per cent.

CHARACTERS
Appearance: White or slightly yellow, crystalline powder or colourless crystals, deliquescent.
Solubility: Very soluble in water, freely soluble in ethanol (96 per cent), soluble in glycerol.

IDENTIFICATION
A. Dilute 0.1 ml of solution S2 (see Tests) to 2 ml with water. The solution gives reaction of chlorides.

TESTS
Solution S1: Dissolve 10.0 g in distilled water and dilute to 100 ml with the same solvent.
Solution S2: Dilute 50 ml of solution S1 to 100 ml with water.
Appearance of solution: Solution S2 is clear and not more intensely coloured than reference solution.
Sulphates: Maximum 100 ppm, determined on solution S1.
Iron: Maximum 10 ppm, determined on solution S1.
Alkali and alkaline-earth metals: Maximum 0.5 per cent.
