Gallium Hydroxide




Gallium hydroxide is not seen as a discrete mineral; rather, gallium replaces Aluminium in Ore s such as Bauxite . Rich sources may contain almost 1% Ga replacing Al, but a more typical value is a hundred times less.

Gallium hydroxide is Amphoteric . In strongly acid conditions, gallium Ion , Ga3+ is formed; in strongly basic conditions, Ga(OH)4-, is formed.

Salts of Ga(OH)4- are sometimes called gallates.
