FTIR absorption spectrum of the calcination products (3 h, 785 or 795°C) of Al2(SO4)3·18H2O powder and that of Al2(SO4)3·18H2O powder for comparison (grey line) (the main bands are discussed in the text) (a) and thermogravimetric (TG) curve for Al2(SO4)3·18H2O at 5°C/min (b). The theoretical number of water molecules and weight loss associated with each Al2(SO4)3 unit are given.
