Aluminium carbonate
open-in-new
<p>Aluminium carbonate (Al2(CO3)3), is a <a href="/facts/Carbonate/FES1QHkN">carbonate</a> of <a href="/facts/Aluminium/7wmR8jYE">aluminium</a>. It is not well characterized; one authority says that simple carbonates of aluminium are not known. However related compounds are known, such as the basic sodium aluminium carbonate mineral <a href="/facts/Dawsonite/UGNvPq75">dawsonite</a> (NaAlCO3(OH)2) and hydrated basic aluminium carbonate minerals scarbroite (Al5(CO3)(OH)13•5(H2O)) and hydroscarbroite (Al14(CO3)3(OH)36•nH2O). </p>
