SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ALUMINUM CHLOROHYDRATE

A method and system for batch manufacturing aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH) utilizing a reactor tank. The method comprises conducting two consecutive batch manufacturing processes, each batch manufacturing process producing aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH) by reacting solid-state aluminum metal pieces with an acid source in a reactor tank. Proximate the end of a first of the two batch manufacturing processes, after the aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH) being produced in that batch has reached a predetermined basicity level, a majority of the produced aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH) is withdrawn from the reactor tank but a heel-portion of the produced aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH) is retained in the reactor tank. The heel-portion comprises a sufficient amount of the produced aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH) to submerge therein a majority of unreacted solid-state aluminum metal pieces retained in the reactor tank at the time that produced aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH) is withdrawn from the reactor tank.
