Aluminium arsenate is a inorganic compound with the formula AlAsO₄.[1] It is most commonly found as an octahydrate. It is a colourless solid that is produced by the reaction between sodium arsenate and a soluble aluminium salt. Aluminium arsenate occurs naturally as the mineral mansfieldite.[2] Anhydrous form is known as an extremely rare, fumarolic mineral alarsite[3] A synthetic hydrate of aluminium arsenate is produced by hydrothermal method. with the formulation, Al₂O₃.3As₂O₅^.10H₂O.[4]
Modification of aluminium orthoarsenate was carried out by heating different samples to different temperatures. Both amorphous and crystalline forms were obtained.[5] The solubility product was determined to be 10^−18.06. for Aluminium arsenate of formula AlAsO₄._3.5H₂O[6] Like gallium arsenate and boron arsenate, it adopts the α-quartz-type structure. The high pressure form has a rutile-type structure in which aluminium and arsenic are six-coordinate.
