Aluminate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An aluminate is a compound containing aluminium and oxygen with more electropositive elements. Usually aluminate refers to AlO2-. Examples include sodium aluminate and potassium aluminate. Aluminate can also refer to the polyatomic ion AlO33-
Minerals like chrysoberyl are sometimes called aluminates, although they are often classified as mixed oxides. As minerals, aluminates are much less common than aluminosilicates, which occur in bewildering variety.
See Category:Aluminates for a list of aluminates.
