Aluminium carbonate (Al2(CO3)3), is a carbonate of aluminium. It is a component of the mineral strontiodesserite.[1]
Aluminium carbonate is an unstable compound, decomposing to aluminium hydroxide (Al(OH)3) and carbon dioxide (CO2):
- Al2(CO3)3 + 3 H2O → 2 Al(OH)3 + 3 CO2
It is formed in the reaction between an aluminium compound, such as aluminium sulfate (Al2(SO4)3), and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3):
- Al2(SO4)3 + 3 Na2CO3 → Al2(CO3)3 + 3 Na2SO4
But it easily decomposes into aluminium hydroxide and carbon dioxide. Some foam fire extinguishers use this reaction.
