Aluminum silicate is used to prepare aluminum-silicate polymer composite (PASiC), which is an inorganic coagulant used in water treatment. It is used as a catalyst for the pyrolysis of rice husk to crude bio -oil, which upgraded to supercritical ethanol. Further, it is used as filler in paper, rubber and in paints.
Definition
Any of the numerous types of clay which contain varying proportions of Al 2 O 3 and Si O 2 . Made synthetically by heating aluminum fluoride at 1000–2000C with silica and water vapor; the crystals or whiskers obtained are up to 1 cm long, have high strength, and are used in reinforced plastics.
