Boehmite (Al(OH)O)

Description:
Boehmite, with the chemical formula Al(OH)O and CAS number 1318-23-6, is a naturally occurring aluminum oxide hydroxide mineral. It is characterized by its layered structure, which consists of aluminum ions coordinated with hydroxyl groups. Boehmite typically appears as a white to grayish powder and has a relatively low density compared to other aluminum oxides. It is insoluble in water but can dissolve in strong acids and bases, making it useful in various chemical processes. Boehmite exhibits a high thermal stability and can withstand elevated temperatures without significant decomposition. This mineral is often found in bauxite, the primary ore of aluminum, and plays a crucial role in the production of aluminum metal and other aluminum compounds. Additionally, boehmite is utilized in ceramics, catalysts, and as a filler in various materials due to its unique properties. Its surface characteristics and reactivity make it an important subject of study in materials science and environmental applications.
