Sodium tetrachloroaluminate is a chemical compound with the formula NaAlCl4. It is the sodium salt of the tetrachloroaluminate anion. It was discovered by Friedrich Wöhler in 1827.[1]: 228
Production and uses
[edit]Sodium tetrachloroaluminate can be prepared from sodium chloride and aluminium trichloride.
In the 19th century, it was produced industrially by carbochlorination of alumina in the presence of sodium chloride,[2] and used as a feedstock to produce aluminium in the Deville process.[citation needed]
Molten sodium tetrachloroaluminate is used as an electrolyte in sodium-nickel chloride batteries.
