I mea e hoʻomaopopo ai i ka alumini sulfate, pono e hoʻomaopopo i kona hoʻohana ʻana, e like me ke ahi ahi, ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe wai, ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe wai a me ka hana pepa.ʻO ke kaʻina hana no ka hana ʻana i ka alumini sulfate, ʻo ia ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka waikawa sulfuric me nā mea ʻē aʻe, e like me ka bauxite a me ka cryolite.Ma muli o ka ʻoihana, kapa ʻia ʻo alum a i ʻole alum pepa
ʻO ka alumini sulfate he aniani keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo a i ʻole ka pauka.ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia.Ke hui pū ʻia me ka wai, haʻahaʻa loa kona pH waiwai, hiki iā ia ke puhi i ka ʻili a i ʻole nā metala ʻino, hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i ka wai, a hiki ke mālama i nā molekole wai.Ke hoʻohui ʻia ka wai alkaline, hana ia i ka alumini hydroxide, Al (OH) 3, ma ke ʻano he ua.Hiki ke loaʻa maoli ma nā lua pele a i ʻole nā ʻōpala ʻōpala.
