General Description

Aluminium carbonate is a chemical compound with the formula Al2(CO3)3, although it is not often seen in its pure form as it is unstable in normal atmospheric conditions. It is usually encountered in the form of hydrated salts or reacts with water to form aluminium hydroxide. It is used in medical treatments as an antacid, commonly to treat heartburn, indigestion, and stomach ulcers. Its health impacts can be considered generally as safe, but it can pose some potential risks such as constipation and toxicity if consumed in excessive amounts. Aluminium carbonate can also be used as a fire retardant and is utilized in the construction industry due to its ability to react with cement.
