Physical studies of ageing inhibition of aluminum hydroxide gel were carried out. Sorbitol, mannitol and fructose were found to be an ageing inhibitor of the aluminum hydroxide gel. IR spectra and DTA curves showed that the ageing products of the gel by sorbitol orl mannitol were monohydrous alumina. This differs from hydrated hydrous alumina of other ageing products. This evidence indicates that sorbitol and mannitol prevent the hydrous alumina from its hydration.
