At the American Academy of Dermatology summer meeting, Louis Kuchnir, MD, who is a physical chemist by training as well as a dermatologist, described the chemical properties of
aluminum chloride and how it works, based on those properties.
Effect of
Aluminum chloride (Al[Cl.sub.3]) on histological structures of testis:
The results showed that using poly
aluminum chloride, ferrous sulfate, ferric chloride and Aluminum Sulphate coagulants in 50, 20 and 10 NTU turbidities reduces PH, so that for adding each mg of poly
aluminum chloride, ferrous sulfate and ferric chloride coagulants, PH reduces about 0.01 unit.
And
aluminum chloride can impressively and cost-effectively reduce phosphorus runoff and atmospheric ammonia levels in animal facilities.
The next step is treatment with 10%-35%
aluminum chloride hexahydrate.
In the melt, the tablet forms
aluminum chloride, an insoluble metastable gaseous phase.
The study, which consisted of 667 cadets who went hiking after using either a 20%
aluminum chloride solution or a placebo solution on their feet, showed that only 21% got blisters compared with 41% of unprotected individuals.
Although many patients apply antiperspirant as part of their morning routines, topical antiperspirants with
aluminum chloride are effective when applied overnight, or for at least 6-8 hours, according to Dr.
They are soaked in the effective, podiatrist-recommended 12%
aluminum chloride formula.
Historians credit Denmark's Hans Oerstad for chemically isolating aluminum from
aluminum chloride in 1825 using a potassium amalgam.
Witco's Polymer Additives Group announced it has increased prices of sodium and ammonium thiocyanates,
aluminum chloride, mixed-metal and phosphite heat stabilizers, and all primary amides by between three to nine cents per pound.
The most notable gas-releasing compound is hexachloroethane (|C.sub.2~|Cl.sub.6~), which generates |Cl.sub.2~ and gaseous
aluminum chloride (Al|Cl.sub.3~), but the list also includes certain carbonates.
Aluminum carbide particles can be as large as 50 microns, and most of them float to the surface along with
aluminum chloride vapor formed in the reaction.
