Aluminium hydroxide oxide or aluminium oxyhydroxide, AlO(OH) is found as one of two well defined crystalline phases, which are also known as the minerals boehmite and diaspore. The minerals are important constituents of the aluminium ore, bauxite.
List of related compounds and minerals The aluminium oxides, oxide hydroxides, and hydroxides can be summarized as follows: aluminium oxides corundum () aluminium oxide hydroxides diaspore (α-AlO(OH)) boehmite or böhmite (γ-AlO(OH)) akdalaite () (once believed to be ), also called tohdite aluminium hydroxides gibbsite (often designated as γ-, but sometimes as α-,N.N.
