Abstract

---

Aluminum metal is not consumed rapidly by corrosion; the amount of scrap aluminum grows rapidly while the available supply of raw materials for the manufacture of aluminum decreases. Environmental problems thus created are typical of those of several different metals. One obvious solution to the problem is to recycle the used fabricated aluminum into other useful products or into aluminum compounds. This research illustrate a chemical process in which waste aluminum is converted chemically into an aluminum compound i.e. hydrated potassium aluminum sulfate, KAl(SO4)2 •12H2O, or commonly known as Alum. The study also provides an interesting means of green reduction of environmental pollution via conversion of waste to wealth.
