Alum has several popular uses across various industries and applications. Some of the common uses include:
1. Color binder in marbling - alum make the color (like gouache) stick on the paper or fabric.
2. Mordant in dyeing - alum acts as a mordant in textile dyeing processes. It helps fix dyes to fabrics, enhancing colorfastness and preventing the colors from fading.
3. Crystal formation - alum is commonly used in the creation of crystals through a process known as "alum crystal growth" or "alum crystallization." This is a popular and simple science experiment that is often performed in schools or as a home project.
4. Soil amendment - in gardening, alum can be used to acidify soil, making it suitable for certain acid-loving plants.
