Alunite is a hydroxylated aluminium potassium sulfate mineral, formula KAl3(SO4)2(OH)6. It was first observed in the 15th century at Tolfa, near Rome, where it was mined for the manufacture of alum. First called aluminilite by J.C. Delamétherie in 1797, this name was contracted by François Beudant three decades later to alunite.
The APS minerals contain more than 40 mineral species (Jambor, 1999).Their attribution to various groups and their naming is still under debate as it is the case with the type of nomenclature scheme Strunz and Tennyson, 1982, Scott, 1987a, Jambor, 1999.Such mineralogical classification schemes in their attempt to …

The reaction of gaseous chlorine with molten aluminum metal produces aluminum chloride; the latter is the most commonly used catalyst in Friedel-Crafts reactions—i.e., synthetic organic reactions involved in the preparations of a wide variety of compounds, including aromatic ketones and anthroquinone and its derivatives. Hydrated …
The thermal decomposition of alunite is of an archeochemistry importance as alunite was used as a source of potassium. Further it has been suggested that the mineral exists on the planet Mars. If so then the wide ranging temperatures of Mars would affect the chemical composition of the alunite. Thus it is important to understand the thermal ...
In the planetary literature, the terms "jarosite" and "alunite" are widely used to refer to any member of these subgroups, even though these terms formally refer only to the K-bearing endmembers. At Mollies Nipple, the A sites of the minerals are occupied predominantly by K, so the use of jarosite and alunite refers to the specific ...
Alunite crystals are typically fine-grained, creamy white to light pink tint color, and are commonly found as fracture-fillings (Fig. 2 D), open space filling along with pyrite, chalcopyrite, and enargite, or disseminated and surrounding the brecciated argillized dacite (Fig. 2 E). Alunite is also present in barren veins or stringers (Fig. 2 F).
Advanced argillic (AA) alteration produced by hydrothermal activity and subsequent supergene alteration in the Potrerillos district, Atacama Desert, Chile, includes sulfate-bearing and aluminosilicate alteration minerals. These alterations commonly contain alunite supergroup minerals (e.g., alunite, jarosite, and aluminum-phosphate-sulfate …
In general, pe piele pot aparea 2 tipuri de alunite: negre si rosii. Alunitele negre sunt frecvente si sunt formate din melanocite (acestea sunt celulele care produc melanina, pigmentul care da culoare pielii).. Alunitele rosii se mai numesc angioame senile, sunt pete rosii, mici si cel mai adesea netede.Culoarea rosie vine de la faptul ca un astfel de …
Nevii melanocitici pot fi dobândiţi pe parcursul vieţii sau te poţi naşte cu ei – în cel din urmă caz, aceştia poartă numele de nevi melanocitici congenitali şi apar pe piele la vârsta de 1-2 ani. Însă, de cele mai multe ori, aluniţele apar şi se înmulţesc în copilărie (în special între vârstele de 2 şi 10 ani) şi adolescenţă, dar şi mai târziu pe parcursul ...
Cele mai multe dintre aceste alunite periculoase nu sunt iesite in relief, asa cum s-a crezut pana acum. Melanoza lui Dubreuilh sau lentigo malign. Acesta este un cancer de piele destul de putin frecvent care apare, in general, pe fetele adultilor in varsta care s-au expus extrem de mult la soare. Pe parcursul a mai multor luni sau ani, aceasta ...
Alunite synthesis procedure. Alunite used in the dissolution experiments was synthesised using a modification of the method of Lager et al. (2001). For the synthesis, 2.6 g of Al 2 (SO 4)·18H 2 O, 0.58 g of K 2 SO 4 and 14 ml of double distilled water were heated in the oven at 463 K for 95 h in a Parr bomb fitted with a Teflon sleeve.
Alunite is used as a representative mineral for indicating deposits in lithocaps, and lithocaps are generally related to the porphyry–(high-sulfidation) epithermal mineralization system. The study of alunite is of theoretical and exploration significance for prospecting potential underlying porphyry and epithermal deposits. Studies on alunite …
Raman spectroscopy has been used to study the molecular structure of different natural minerals of the alunite supergroup (AB 3 (XO 4) 2 (OH) 6), with A = K +, Na +, Ca 2+, Sr 2+, Ba 2+, B = Al 3+, Fe 3+ and X = S 6+, P 5+.The influence of the ions, in A-, B- and X-sites, is highlighted in the Raman spectra by variations in the position of …
The alunite, a commercial raw material in the chemical industry, is represented by the general formula KAl 3 (SO 4) 2 (OH) 6. Recently, alunite has been widely used as a substitute for OPC. Katsioti et al. [43] investigate the influence of mixing OPC with alunite, the results show that the alunite blended cements developed higher …
This corporation maintains a crushing plant at Marysvale and makes regular shipments of alunite for use as fertilizer. The extensive Marysvale alunite deposits have long challenged development. As early as 1916 studies were made on the recovery of potash from this material (Waggaman and Cullen, 1916), and during World War I alunite …
Alunite is an inconspicuous grayish massive mineral formed by the alteration of pyrite and other sulfides during weathering or solfatara activity. It is probably widespread in Wisconsin but has so far been reported from only one locality. Its habit, fine-grained nature and common intergrowth with minerals such as hematite, goethite, jarosite, melanterite and …
Alunite (KAl 3 (SO 4) 2 (OH) 6) is a hydrated aluminous sulfate mineral associated with acidic, oxidizing aqueous environments on Earth.Additionally, orbiting spacecraft and rovers on Mars have reported spectral data that indicate a range of mono- and polyhydrated sulfate phases and hydroxysulfate phases, suggesting such conditions …
