Aluminium Phosphate
Aluminium phosphate is a chemical compound and it occurs as the mineral berlinite. It is used as a catalyst, ion exchangers and molecular sieves. When it is heated to the process of berlinite and it undergoes to the cristoballite forms. This is the framework of the structures of the alumina phosphate that involves to the charged particles. The systematic IUPAC name is known as aluminium phosphate. The chemical or molecular formula of aluminium phosphate is AlPO4.
Structural Formula
This is the structural formula of the aluminium phosphate:
Chemical Formula
The chemical formula of the aluminium phosphate is AlPO4.
Preparation Method
When it is reacted with the aluminium with the phosphate that gives the result of the aluminium phosphate. This is one of the main compounds that reacts with the involvement to form in the different sized cavities. In normal use aluminium phosphate and hydroxide salts are acts as the safe antacids. It is used for pigments, corrosion inhibitors, and dental care products.
