Is there a known method for the inhibition of aluminosilicate gel formation at high pH e.g. chelation of aluminium?

05 July 2019 1 4K Report

Looking for a method to create a solution containing dissolved aluminium and silicate but without the gel formation.

You can try to reduce water binding using any methods you known or else you can add any fromamide agent to reduce the formation.
