Industrial Uses

1. Performance Chemicals

  • Nitrate Source and Precursor: Aluminum nitrate is frequently used as a source of nitrate ions in various chemical reactions. It serves as a precursor for the synthesis of other aluminum compounds and nitrates. It can be used to prepare alumina (aluminum oxide), which has various industrial applications. 
  • Catalysis: Aluminum nitrate acts as a catalyst in several chemical reactions, including the Mannich reaction. In the Mannich reaction, it can catalyze the synthesis of β-amino carbonyl compounds.

2. Fabric Solutions

  • Mordant in Dyeing: Aluminum nitrate, when used as a mordant, forms a complex with both the dye and the fabric, creating a strong bond that prevents the dye from easily washing out. 
  • Enhancing Color: By facilitating the dye's attachment to the fabric, aluminum nitrate helps to achieve more intense and long-lasting colors.
