Aluminium Hydroxide forms a strong crystal lattice of high energy by Hydrogen bonding. This disallows it to dissociate in water.
But it still considered as a tribasic acid because it can neutralize 3 hydroxy ions by giving away 3 hydrogen ions.
Usually, H ions are dispersed in water after dissociation and then performs neutralization reaction with basic compounds.
But in case of this metal hydroxide, the basic compounds directly interact with it and acquires H ion.
In this way, it performs reaction without dissociating in water.
