Process for the preparation of pure aluminum chloride hexahydrate

摘要

A process for the preparation of pure aluminum chloride hexa hydrate is disclosed, in which the crystallisate mixture from the mother solution (centrifugate) and starting solution (wash solution) is treated first to the coldest of a number of crystallization steps, pumped to the hottest step by retrograde feeding, and in which only from the hottest step is a portion of the mother solution now rich in impurities removed.
