Description
A tradename for shiny, yellow-brown powder that is the ammonium salt of aurin tricarboxylic acid. Aluminon forms brightly colored lakes with Aluminum, Chromium, Iron, and Beryllium salts. It is generally used for the detection of Alum in aqueous extractions of paper.
Synonyms and Related Terms
ammonium salt of aurine tricarboxylic acid; Lysofon; ammonium aurintricarboxylate;
Risks
- Skin contact causes irritation.
- Harmful if swallowed or inhaled.
- Fisher Scientific: SDS
Physical and Chemical Properties
- Soluble in water.
- The reagent solution is prepared by dissolving 1 g of salt in 1 liter of distilled water.
