Sodium aluminate is an inorganic chemical that is used as an effective source of aluminium hydroxide for many industrial and technical applications.
Pure sodium aluminate (anhydrous) is a white crystalline solid having a formula variously given as NaAlO2, NaAl(OH)4 (hydrated),[2] Na2O·Al2O3, or Na2Al2O4.
Commercial sodium aluminate is available as a solution or a solid.
Other related compounds, sometimes called sodium aluminate, prepared by reaction of Na2O and Al2O3 are Na5AlO4 which contains discrete AlO45− anions, Na7Al3O8 and Na17Al5O16 which contain complex polymeric anions, and NaAl11O17, once mistakenly believed to be β-alumina, a phase of aluminium oxide.
Structure
Anhydrous sodium aluminate, NaAlO2, contains a three-dimensional framework of corner linked AlO4 tetrahedra.
The hydrated form NaAlO2·5/4H2O has layers of AlO4 tetrahedra joined into rings and the layers are held together by sodium ions and water molecules that hydrogen bond to O atoms in the AlO4 tetrahedra
Manufacturing
Sodium aluminate is manufactured by the dissolution of aluminium hydroxide (Al(OH)3) in a caustic soda (NaOH) solution.
Aluminium hydroxide (gibbsite) can be dissolved in 20–25% aqueous NaOH solution at a temperature near the boiling point.
The use of more concentrated NaOH solutions leads to a semi-solid product.
The process must be carried out in steam-heated vessels of nickel or steel, and the aluminium hydroxide should be boiled with approximately 50% aqueous caustic soda until a pulp forms.
The final mixture has to be poured into a tank and cooled; a solid mass containing about 70% NaAlO2 then forms.
After being crushed, this product is dehydrated in a rotary oven.
The resulting product contains 90% NaAlO2 and 1% water, together with 1% free NaOH.
Reaction of aluminium metal and alkali
Sodium aluminate is also formed by the action of sodium hydroxide on elemental aluminium which is an amphoteric metal.
The reaction is highly exothermic once established and is accompanied by the rapid evolution of hydrogen gas.
The reaction is sometimes written as:
2Al + 2NaOH + 2H2O → 2NaAlO2 + 3H2
However, the species produced in solution is likely to contain the [Al(OH)4]− ion or perhaps the [Al(H2O)2(OH)4]− ion.
Uses
In water treatment it is used as an adjunct to water softening systems, as a coagulant aid to improve flocculation, and for removing dissolved silica and phosphates.
In construction technology, sodium aluminate is employed to accelerate the solidification of concrete, mainly when working during frost.
Sodium aluminate is also used in the paper industry, for fire brick production, alumina production and so forth.
Sodium aluminate solutions are intermediates in the production of zeolites

SODIUM ALUMINATE FOR PAPER INDUSTRY
Sodium aluminate was introduced to the paper industry over 40 years ago. Its acceptance as an excellent wet end additive grew extensively in Europe and the U.S. paper making operations. Sodium aluminate was found to be very effective when used in conjunction with other cationic sources, such as alum, to optimize and improve wet end paper machine operations.
Simply stated, sodium aluminate is an alkaline form of aluminum which has been dissolved in caustic. Aluminum, because of its amphoteric nature, can be easily dissolved either in an acid or alkaline medium. Aluminum dissolved in sulfuric acid forms aluminum sulfate, or alum, and aluminum dissolved in caustic forms sodium aluminate. Sodium aluminate possesses an anionically charged alumina particle.
Sodium aluminate performs two basic functions in the paper maker process. One of these is primarily a chemical function which is to furnish a portion of the alumina required for sizing. Second function is best considered a physical function of coagulation and retention. System conditions created by these two reactions and the reaction products are the basis for the benefits provided by sodium aluminate.
Other benefits from sodium aluminate usage are:
Improved strength and durability
Cleaner machine system
Reduced foam
Reduced corrosion
Sodium aluminate
Sodium aluminate is a product obtained from the dissolution of aluminium hydroxide (gibbsite) in sodium hydroxide.
ATAMAN CHEMICALS has sodium aluminates both in solution, in the form of powder.
Our Sodium Aluminates are an excellent source of reactive alumina in alkaline solution and this is the main reason for its use as a raw material in many industrial processes.
It is used in waste water treatment, it is a shotcrete set accelerator; it is also used in the paper industry as an auxiliary refining agent and retaining agent, and other uses are described as a raw material in catalytical supports, zeolites, etc.
Sodium Aluminate is immediately available in most volumes.
Aluminates are compounds with a negatively-charged alumina ion and a metallic oxide with various industrial applications such as water treatment and ceramics manufacturing.
Thanks to its product properties, sodium aluminate is an excellent precipitating agent.
In other words, it binds itself to unwanted substances in liquids as a result of a chemical reaction.
In this case, the unwanted substance is phosphate.
Sewage treatment plants use sodium aluminate to reduce the phosphate content in their wastewater – an extremely important process in wastewater treatment.
While SODIUM ALUMINATE is also used as a raw material in industrial production processes and by the construction sector, its primary use is in industrial wastewater treatment facilities and, above all, in sewage treatment plants.
The product’s properties offer two clear advantages here.
Thanks to its high pH value, SODIUM ALUMINATE helps prevent the formation of filamentous bacteria and so increases the overall efficiency and functionality of sewage treatment plants.
What’s more, it acts as a precipitating agent and eliminates the phosphate in the water.
This is important as high amounts of phosphate – which, in itself, is actually essential to life – can have a hugely negative impact on the environment.
High levels of the nutrient, phosphorus, in rivers and lakes, for example, can result in a rapid growth of algae and water plants which, in turn, disrupts the ecosystem.
SODIUM ALUMINATE State-of-the-Art Water Purification Solution
All Sodium Aluminate solutions are produced according to EN 882 (Chemicals used for the treatment of water intended for human consumption).
Aluminum products reduce chemical sludge production compared to iron, due to the low molecular weight of AI.
Aluminates raise the alkalinity of the water, eliminating the need for lime or hydroxides.
SODIUM ALUMINATE is produced by reacting alumina hydroxide with sodium hydroxide.
Our product is free of precipitates.
Additionally, Sodium Aluminate has a very low content of heavy metals.
The high content of AI in aluminates facilitates lowered transport costs.
Key benefits
Gives high purity and quality of water

Sodium Aluminate is most widely used in municipal drinking water and waste water treatment systems.
As an alkali, Sodium Aluminate can work in applications where the addition of caustic is not desirable.
It provides an economical source of highly reactive alumina.
Sodium aluminate is becoming an increasingly popular choice for the removal of phosphorus in municipal and industrial wastewater plants.
As discharge limits for nitrogen and phosphorus become more stringent, many plants are implementing both biological and chemical treatment systems for their reduction.
However, both these treatment processes can deplete the available alkalinity and depress effluent pH below discharge limits.

The product can be used in many water and wastewater treatment applications, in papermaking, and as a raw material intermediate in commercial industries.
Sodium Aluminate is increasingly being used for drinking water and wastewater treatment.
As an alkaline coagulant, sodium aluminate can be used for applications where the addition of caustic soda alone is not desirable.
Sodium aluminate solution provides an economical source of highly reactive alumina.
Sodium Aluminate is becoming an increasingly popular choice for the removal of phosphates, magnesium, silicates, suspended solids (SS) etc. in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants as nitrogen and phosphate discharge limits become more and more stringent.

PATENT
Abstract. The effect of sodium aluminate activator on properties of the Portland-composite cement (clinker factor 65 %) was studied and the results are being discussed.
It is shown that the introduction of sodium aluminate (Na[Al(OH)4]) leads to an increase in the water demand of cement and a decrease in its strength.
The results showed that the sodium aluminate and polycarboxylate ether (PCE) admixtures ensure the production of higher strength cements.
It has been found that the addition of Na[Al(OH)4] – PCE significantly increases the compressive strength of cement mortar, particularly at 10–48 h of hydration.
XRD and SEM measurements confirm that the hydration of composite cement with the addition of Na[Al(OH)4] – PCE is greatly accelerated by the way of formation of intense lines ettringite.
It has been shown that the introduction of a sodium aluminate into the cement mortars allows to accelerate hardening and increase early strength and using of composite cement will provide improved performance and suitability.
The results have shown that alkaline accelerator and polycarboxylate were effective for decrease shrinkage of composite cements.
1. Introduction Development of innovative building materials is one of the priority tasks of technological and economic development in the construction industry.
In recent years, due to the deep specialization of building construction, the market needs for chemical additives have increased, which allow to provide the required level of properties of cement mortars and special-purpose concrete (high-strength, repaired, waterproofing, etc.).
Modifiers that regulate the process of hardening of cement systems – accelerators of curing and hardening – should be singled out from various types of chemical functional additives.
Traditional effective accelerators of hardening of Portland cement include calcium chloride and alkali metal salts.
However, additives containing chlorine ions currently have limited use, as chlorine ion promotes corrosion of the reinforcement.
It should be also noted that a number of alkaline accelerators, under certain conditions, can cause the destruction of concrete due to their interaction with the active silica filler.
Besides, alkaline hardening accelerators often reduce the final strength of concrete.
Therefore, the problem of finding and developing effective hardening accelerators is particularly actual.
Among the hardening accelerators for cements, additives of new generation based on active aluminium oxides can be singled out.
The influence of sodium aluminate additive on the properties of building materials has been investigated by various researchers.
These alkaline accelerators are important chemical additives for shotcrete concrete, which allow to shorten curing time from hours to minutes.
The mechanism of sodium aluminate action in the cement system is the rapid formation of the hydration product of calcium hydroaluminate (C-A-H), which after some time recrystallizes into ettringite.
It was established that concretes made with the addition of 3–5 mass. % sodium aluminate have increased resistance to water.
However, there is a decrease in the strength of concretes and mortars.
At the same time, the introduction of a sodium aluminate accelerator greatly reduces the water separation in mortars and concrete mixes and prevents corrosion of the reinforcement.
The introduction of an increased amount of aluminate component in the composition of cement leads to increase in the water demand of the binder.
Such technological features can be used for systems requiring increased W/C ratio in particular in the composition of repair materials, as well as for cement mortars destined for transportation, pouring and pumping.
At the same time, such materials should be characterized by water resistance, which allows the frost resistance of concrete and mortars.
Therefore, in order to reduce the water consumption of the mixtures and achieve their high fluidity, it is advisable to use polycarboxylate type superplasticizers in combination with alkaline accelerators based on sodium aluminate.
On the other hand, the impact of aggressive environment can lead to the rapid destruction of building structures, so it is advisable to develop concretes and repair mortars using composite cements with a high content of mineral additives and fillers.
It is necessary to study alkaline accelerators based on sodium aluminate to achieve high technological and technical effects in obtaining non-shrinkage concretes and mortars with high operational properties for rapid performance of reparation and restoration works
Conclusion
It is established that introduction of aluminium-containing alkaline activator in the Portland-composite cement CEM II/B-M (P-S-L) 32.5 R leads to the acceleration of curing time, increase in water demand and decrease in strength.
The strength of CEM II/B-M with Na[Al(OH)4] – PCE supplements at an age of 1 day has increased by 3.2 time, at the age of 28 days – by 1.45 times higher.
The optimal balance between modifier PCE and sodium aluminate that realize the 1 day, 28 and 90 days compressive strength 16.7, 56.2 and 68.9 MPa are Na[Al(OH)4] – 1.5 mass. % and PСE – 1.2 mass. %.
The linear shrinkage of cement mortar with Na[Al(OH)4] – PCE supplements at an age of 2 and 90 days have been decreased by 4.5 and 2.2 times, than cement mortar without additives.
It is established that sodium aluminate creates the possibility of obtaining mortar for shotcrete, as well as quick performance of reparation and restoration works.
