TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Method: Initial Compound (I) and/or Compound (II) are freshly prepared and or subjected to heat treatment prior to or during the electrodialysis process. The receiving solution from the electrodialysis process is reacted with aluminum trihydrate and reused in the electrodialysis process. A combination of Compounds (I) and/or Compounds (II) having different M are mixed prior to, during or after the electrodialysis process, where HX is generated and removed from the depleting solution such that a binary or mixed metal hydroxychloride is formed. Compounds that prevent aluminum and or aluminum zirconium complexes from gelling are incorporated within the metal hydroxychloride complex. Amino acids are incorporated as their corresponding alkali metal salt or their alkaline earth metal salt, aluminum salt, or their ammonium salt. Greater than 0% but less than 2% calcium ions are incorporated prior to, during, or after the electrodialysis process.Preferred Component: The depleting solution and receiving solution are both composed of Compound (I), such that the HX concentration is decreased from the depleting solution, thus providing Compound (I) in the depleting stream with increased hydroxide content relative to initial Compound (I) prior to treatment. The metal is aluminum such that the aluminum to halide ratio is 1.9:1-2.1:1 (preferably 1.26-1.9). The metal hydroxychloride complex produced is aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrate having a ratio of aluminum (Al):zirconium (Zr) is 2-6, and M:chloride (Cl) is 0.9-1.5; aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrate having a ratio of Al:Zr of 6-10, and M:Cl of 0.9-1.5; aluminum zirconium pentachlorohydrate having a ratio of Al:Zr of 6-10, and M:Cl is 2.1-1.5; or aluminum zirconium trichlorohydrate having a ratio of Al:Zr of 10-5.99, and M:Cl of 2.1-1.5. The zirconium is of formula Zr(OH)4-bXb. The material is zirconium oxychloride or zirconium hydroxychloride. The zirconium salts include 1-8 moles water of hydration per mole of salt. The PAH is in an aqueous composition comprising water. The halide is chloride. For Zr(OH)4-bXb,X=Cl, Br, I, or NO3; andb=0.7-4.Preferred Concentration: The depleting solution has a concentration of aluminum ion greater than 1 molar. The metal (aluminum/zirconium) to chloride ratio is 0.9-2.1.Preferred Property: The products have a basicity greater than 50%. The products have enhanced efficacy properties.
