Abstract: Process and system for the preparation of a low viscosity Aluminum Hydroxy Carbonate Gel having viscosity-resistant properties and a predetermined alkali ion content, comprising reacting under constant pH conditions an aqueous carbonate solution and an aqueous aluminum salt solution to form a reaction product, equilibrating the reaction product at naturally occurring pH and washing the equilibrated reaction product to provide the predetermined alkali ion content and the gel product by same processes.
Abstract: A process for producing aluminum hydroxide gels substantially free of sodium ions involves a heterogeneous reaction between an aqueous solution of a water soluble aluminum salt and an aqueous slurry of a water soluble alkaline earth carbonate.
