replies: text: Almost ten years later and this isn't included in the article ... why? To those editors who monitor and maintain this page, I strongly urge you to look into this. It is also the sole ingredient in "Stingose" by Johnson and Johnson Australia, I have no idea of it's efficacy, and frankly wouldn't be surprised if it's bunk as they also manufacture a lot of woo medications such as 'rubs' that allegedly assist in pain or injuries of muscles, etc. that just smell bad and burn your skin and have zero medical benefit.

message: There is an inconsistancy in the article over the number of water molecules in the hydrate, either sixteen or eighteen. I will try to resolve this as soon as I can, and any input from other editors is welcome! Physchim62 08:23, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hydration 

message: I realised that the formula for the heptadecahydrate was ...5H2O. Shouldn't that be pentahydrate? Also, the article went on to state that the 17-hydrate occured naturally as the mineral alunogen, which, according to its article, has the formula ...17H2O, not ...5H2O. Is anything wrong here?

message: "...or Al2O12S3" - is that needed? Has anyone ever used this notation for aluminium sulfate?

thread_title:  Empirical formula 

message: "Ahmed Ressam, the al-Qaeda Millenium Bomber, used aluminum sulfate as one of the components in the explosives that he prepared to bomb Los Angeles International Airport on New Year's Eve 1999/2000; the explosives could have produced a blast 40x greater than that of a devastating car bomb.[4][5]"
This is a complete misinterpretation of the articles, which only states that it was found in his car, NOT that it was a component of the bomb. The text makes it out to look like aluminium sulfate is a powerful explosive when infact, it is a completely non-explosive compound. It simply can't explode. -Removed 90.227.176.140 (talk) 20:09, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incorret misinformation 

message: Im not sure of what the following was supposed to mean:
"Aluminium 3</sub> + 3 Na2SO4 + 6 CO2
The carbon dioxide </sub> + 3 Na2SO4 + 6 CO2"
Is it some kind of remains lost in a change of the paragraph?

thread_title:  Meaning of equation 

message: Is "aluminium" a British version of the correct spelling: Aluminum? It's repeated several times, and I would be loath to correct it if there is a faction of subversive Anglophiles here co-opting the chemistry pages...Carl Jansen, jansenart.com
:"Aluminium" is the preferred spelling of this element throughout Wikipedia's chemistry articles.  See WP:ALUM for details.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 22:03, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Spelling 

message: Aluminum sulfate is listed as the second inactive ingredient in signature care hydrocortisone cream (store brand). It would be helpful to add this to the use section. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=c6b9c4e1-bab8-490d-8c00-c43377ad0857 Lena Key (talk) 15:05, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
