Does alum dissolve in kerosene?
Answers
Answer:
ABSTRACT
To control pollution and for maximizing the calorific value of commercial
Kerosene, Potassium alum is used in this experiment. The samples prepared like
5grams in 250ml, 10grams in 250ml, and 15grams in 250ml of powder potassium
alum in commercial Kerosene from 3 to 4 hours time with in room temperature
35-400
C. The Gas Chromatography experiments with Bruker GC430 and IR
experiments with Bruker Alpha are done. The 250ml GC report of Original
commercial Kerosene indicates one component, with 5grams of Potassium alum
71 components, with 10grams of Potassium alum 64 components, with 15grams
of Potassium alum 83 components. May be this Kerosene is forth coming fuel to
satellite rockets. Results followed.
INDTRODUCTION
Petroleum products (gasoline, diesel fuels, motor oils, greases etc.) are one
of the main sources of environmental pollution these days. Progressive
industrialization and development of automotive industry are undeniably related
to an increasing demand for such hazardous substances. This, in turn, leads to an
increase in of the potential risks associated with the aforementioned negative
impacts of those petroleum substances on the environment and living organism.
To overcome all these purification with minimum effort and more mileage with
environment friendly, potassium alum is going to be used in Petroleum.
MATERIALS
1. POTASSIUM ALUM – KAl(SO4)2.12(H2O)
2. KEROSENE
1. Potassium alum - Alum is a generic term that describes hydrated double
salts. Hydrates are salts that crystallize from a water solution and contain
weakly bound water molecules. A hydrate is an addition compound,
contains two or more simpler compounds. This is a weak chemical
combination between the water and the salt. As such, the combination is

Answer:
I am sure that alum dissolves in hot water but not so sure about kerosene.
I have a feeling that it will dissolve in kerosene.
