  Alum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Knowing that alum cannot be obtained in crystals without the addition of potash, he began to suspect that this alkali constituted an essential ingredient in the salt, and in 1797 he published a dissertation demonstrating that alum is a double salt, composed of sulfuric acid, alumina, and potash.
As alum and green vitriol were applied to a variety of substances in common, and as both are distinguished by a sweetish and astringent taste, writers, even after the discovery of alum, do not seem to have discriminated the two salts accurately from each other.
The alum schists employed in the manufacture of alum are mixtures of iron pyrite, aluminium silicate and various bituminous substances, and are found in upper Bavaria, Bohemia, Belgium, and Scotland.

 Press Release: King County to clean up Lake Hicks algae with alum
Alum is a chemical compound often used in wastewater treatment and sometimes as a food additive.
Because alum on its own would make the lake too acidic to support aquatic life in the lake, about 1,000 gallons of a second chemical, sodium aluminate, will be applied simultaneously to 'buffer' the alum, maintaining near-neutral pH in the lake.
The addition of alum and sodium aluminate to the lake will pose little risk to humans, aquatic plants, and wildlife.
