Application
Water Treatment: Aluminum potassium sulfate is extensively used in water treatment plants for purifying drinking water and wastewater, owing to its ability to precipitate impurities and clarify water.
Cosmetics: In cosmetics, aluminum potassium sulfate serves as an astringent and antiperspirant, commonly found in deodorants, aftershaves, and skin care products.
Food Industry: The food industry employs food additive aluminum potassium sulfate particularly in baking powder and pickling solutions, due to its acidity regulation and preservation properties.
