Poly Aluminum chloride or hydrated aluminum chloride is an inorganic polymer in terms of its chemical composition, whose monomer is a binuclear complex of aluminum.
The industrial production of this substance is done by the reaction between aluminum and hydrochloric acid. The side product of this reaction is sodium/magnesium/calcium chloride or sulfide salts.
Due to the hydrogen produced in this reaction and the risk of explosion caused by it, safety issues should be considered.
