Product Overview

Aluminum nitrate nonahydrate from Puratronic™ delivers ultra-high purity at 99.999% (metals basis), ensuring minimal trace impurities for critical laboratory applications. This low-mercury variant is specifically engineered for processes where heavy metal contamination must be strictly controlled, such as advanced material synthesis, catalytic research, and electrochemical studies. The nonahydrate form provides excellent solubility in water and polar solvents, facilitating uniform dissolution and precise reagent preparation. Its crystalline structure ensures stability during storage and handling, while the Puratronic™ grade guarantees consistency across batches for reproducible results. The compound’s high thermal stability makes it suitable for applications requiring controlled decomposition or thermal treatment. As a research-grade chemical, it meets stringent specifications for metal ion purity, with mercury levels reduced to trace amounts, eliminating interference in sensitive analytical techniques. The product is packaged under inert conditions to prevent moisture absorption and oxidation, preserving its integrity until use.

FAQs

1. What is the significance of the Puratronic™ grade in this aluminum nitrate?

The Puratronic™ designation indicates a purity level of 99.999% on a metals basis, meaning trace metal impurities are reduced to parts-per-million levels, which is critical for applications where metal contamination could skew results or affect material properties.

2. How does the low-mercury specification impact experimental outcomes?

Mercury, even in trace amounts, can act as a catalyst poison or interfere with spectroscopic and electrochemical measurements. The low-mercury variant ensures cleaner reactions and more accurate data in sensitive analytical techniques.

3. Can this product be used in anhydrous applications?

This is the nonahydrate form, which contains nine water molecules per aluminum nitrate unit. For anhydrous applications, the water must be removed via controlled heating, but this may alter the compound’s properties.

4. What is the recommended storage condition to maintain its purity?

Store in a tightly sealed container under cool, dry conditions, away from direct sunlight and incompatible substances like strong bases or reducing agents. Use desiccants if long-term storage is required.

5. Are there alternatives for applications requiring lower water content?

For applications sensitive to hydrated forms, anhydrous aluminum nitrate is available, though it may not match the same purity grade. Always verify compatibility with your specific experimental requirements.
