Aluminium phosphate formula is a chemical compound. In nature it occurs as the mineral berlinite.[3] Many synthetic forms of aluminium phosphate formula are known. They have framework structures similar to zeolites and some are used as catalysts, ion-exchangers or molecular sieves.[4] Commercial aluminium phosphate formula gel is available.
Along with aluminium hydroxide, aluminium phosphate formula is one of the most common immunologic adjuvants (efficiency enhancers) in vaccinations. Aluminium adjuvant use is widespread due to their cheap price, long history of use, safety and efficiency with most antigens.
Similar to aluminium hydroxide, AlPO4 is used as an antacid. It neutralizes stomach acid (HCl) by forming AlCl3 with it. Up to 20% of aluminium from ingested antacid salts can be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract – despite some unverified concerns about the neurological effects of aluminium,[11] aluminium phosphate formula and hydroxide salts are thought to be safe as antacids in normal use, even during pregnancy and breastfeeding.[12][11]
Additional uses for AlPO4 in combination with or without other compounds are white colorants for pigments, corrosion inhibitors, cements and dental cements. Related compounds have also similar uses. For example, Al(H2PO4)3 is used in dental cements, metal coatings, glaze compositions and refractory binders; and Al(H2PO4)(HPO4) is used cement and refractory binders and adhesives.[
AlPO4·2H2O dihydrate is found as the minerals variscite and meta-variscite.[14] Aluminium phosphate formula dihydrate (variscite and meta-variscite) has a structure that can be regarded as an assembly of tetra- and octahedral units of phosphate anions, aluminium cations and water. Al3+ ions are 6-coordinate and PO43- ions are 4-coordinate.
Aluminium phosphate formula is a phosphate of aluminum. It is used in cake mixes and in some baking powders as a leavening agent to help baked goods rise. Medicinally it is used as adsorbent for toxoids. It is also used industrially as a high-temperature dehydrating agent. Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth's crust and is always found combined with other elements such as oxygen, silicon, and fluorine.
