The present invention obtains simplified processes for the preparation of polynucleate aluminum hydroxy-halide metal complexes having the general formulation A1x(OH)yMwXz, where X is a halogen, preferably C1, and M is a metal or group of metals other than Aluminum in either the +2 or the +3 valence state and wherein, M is added to the polynucleate aluminum hydroxy-halide metal complex in the form of the metal in halide acid solution, the base metal, the metal oxide or the metal hydroxide. The present invention obtains simplified processes for the preparation of polynucleate aluminum hydroxy-halide complexes and polynucleate metal hydroxyl-halide complexes, wherein the halogen raw material is in a salt form and converted to acid form via either acidification with sulfuric acid or with electrolysis. The present invention presents the production of sulfuric acid from elemental sulfur, wherein the energy of formation of sulfuric acid may be utilized as at least a portion of the energy to produce at least one of: steam, electricity, halogen gas, NaOH, hypohalites, halites, halates, halide acid and hydrogen peroxide. The process of this invention; use less expensive raw materials, manage heat and chemical energy more efficiently, have lower transportation costs and require less handling of hazardous chemicals thereby requiring significantly less manufacturing cost. |
