aluminum
a·lu·mi·num A0235200 (ə-lo͞o′mə-nəm)n. Symbol Al A silvery-white, ductile metallic element, the most abundant in the earth's crust but found only in combination, chiefly in bauxite. Having good conductive and thermal properties, it is used to form many hard, light, corrosion-resistant alloys. Atomic number 13; atomic weight 26.9815; melting point 660.32°C; boiling point 2,519°C; specific gravity 2.70; valence 3. See Periodic Table. [alumin(a) + -(i)um.]a•lu•mi•num (əˈlu mə nəm) n. 1. a silver-white metallic element, light in weight, ductile, malleable, and not readily corroded or tarnished: used in alloys and for lightweight products. Abbr.: alum.;Symbol: Al; at. wt.: 26.98; at. no.: 13; sp. gr.: 2.70 at 20°C. adj. 2. of, pertaining to, or containing aluminum. Also, esp. Brit., aluminium. [1812; alter. of earlier alumium. See alumina, -ium2] a·lu·mi·num (ə-lo͞o′mə-nəm) Symbol Al A lightweight, silvery-white metallic element that is easily shaped and a good conductor of electricity. It is the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust and is used to make a wide variety of products from soda cans to airplane components. Atomic number 13.

aluminum (Al) [ah-loo´mĭ-num] a chemical element, atomic number 13, atomic weight 26.982. (See Appendix 6.) It occurs naturally in many foods in low concentrations and is also present in many pharmaceuticals and drinking water. High levels in the body can be toxic; see aluminum poisoning.aluminum acetate solution Burow's solution.basic aluminum carbonate gel an aluminum hydroxide–aluminum carbonate gel, used as an antacid, for treatment of hyperphosphatemia in renal insufficiency, and to prevent phosphate urinary calculi.aluminum chloride a topical astringent solution and antiperspirant.aluminum chlorohydrate an antiperspirant; called also aluminum hydroxychloride.aluminum hydroxide the hydroxide of aluminum, used as an antacid and binder" >phosphate binder; the official preparation is aluminum hydroxide gel.aluminum hydroxide gel a preparation of aluminum hydroxide in suspension or dried form, used as an antacid in the treatment of peptic ulcer and gastric hyperacidity and as a binder" >phosphate binder in treatment of phosphate nephrolithiasis.aluminum hydroxychloride aluminum chlorohydrate.aluminum oxide Al2O3, occurring naturally as various minerals; used in the production of abrasives, refractories, ceramics, catalysts, to strengthen dental ceramics, and in chromatography.aluminum phosphate gel a water suspension of aluminum phosphate and some flavoring agents; used as a gastric antacid, astringent, and soothing agent.aluminum poisoning the toxic effects of high levels of aluminum or its compounds in the body.

AluminumThe most abundant metal in the crust of the Earth. Because it is not very dense and is resistant to corrosion, it has a wide variety of commercial uses, notably in transportation, packaging, and construction. It is also used in home appliances. Aluminum is also spelled aluminium, especially in countries where British English predominates.AcronymsSeeair lockaluminum Related to aluminum: aluminum hydroxide, Aluminum alloysSynonyms for aluminumnoun a silvery ductile metallic element found primarily in bauxiteSynonyms- Al
