Synthesis
editAluminium lactate is obtained by precipitating a solution of the barium salt by aluminium sulfate.[3]
Physical properties
editAluminium lactate appears as a white powder which is soluble in water.
Use
editAluminium lactate is used as a mordant.[4]
It is suitable for use in both the cosmetic[5] and oral industries.[6][7]
Aluminium lactate is also used as a precursor for sol–gel synthesis of alumina-based glasses.[8]
