Nasty metal. Don't try it.
alum water (AlH20)
It's commonly called Alum
Alum can be separated from a mixture of alum and water through a process called crystallization. When the mixture is cooled or allowed to evaporate, alum will crystallize out of the solution due to its solubility properties. The crystals can then be collected by filtration. This method effectively separates the solid alum from the liquid water.
Potash alum typically appears as colorless or white crystals with a slightly sweet, astringent taste. It is often found in a crystalline form resembling transparent octahedrons.
Potash alum is another name for potassium alum. Alum is a class of molecular compounds, and included in the class is potassium alum. So, they are not the same thing, but yet very similar in that potash alum is a member of the alum class.
Alum powder is called "Padikaram" in Tamil.
Alums are useful for a range of industrial processes. They are soluble in water; have an astringent, acid, and sweetish taste; react acid to litmus; and crystallize in regular octahedral. When heated they liquefy; and if the heating is continued, the water of crystallization is driven off, the salt froths and swells, and at last an amorphous powder remains. Potassium alum is the common alum of commerce, although soda alum, ferric alum, and ammonium alum are manufactured. Aluminum sulfate is sometimes called alum in informal contexts, but this usage is not regarded as technically correct.

In Malayalam, alum is called "കൽക്കരി" (pronounced "kalkkari"). It is commonly used in cooking, traditional medicine, and various industrial applications. The term refers to both potassium alum and other types of alum as well.

Alum.....(azhar khattak)
Ferric alum is made by dissolving bauxite in sulfuric acid to obtain aluminum sulfate. Ferric oxide is then added to this solution to form ferric alum. The solution is then set aside for the crystals of ferric alum to form through a process called crystallization.
In tamil its called as padikaaram alias padigaram
This is called flocculation. When alum is added to water, it reacts with impurities and causes them to clump together, forming sticky globs that can be easily removed.
