Aluminium arsenate is an inorganic compound with the formula AlAsO₄.^[2] It is most commonly found as an octahydrate. It is a colourless solid that is produced by the reaction between sodium arsenate and a soluble aluminium salt. Aluminium arsenate occurs naturally as the mineral mansfieldite.^[3] Anhydrous form is known as an extremely rare, fumarolic mineral alarsite^[4] A synthetic hydrate of aluminium arsenate is produced by hydrothermal method. with the formulation Al₂O₃·3As₂O₅·10H₂O.^[5]

Modification of aluminium orthoarsenate was carried out by heating different samples to different temperatures. Both amorphous and crystalline forms were obtained.^[6] The solubility product was determined to be 10^−18.06 for aluminium arsenate hydrate of formula AlAsO₄·3.5H₂O.^[1] Like gallium arsenate and boron arsenate, it adopts the α-quartz-type structure. The high pressure form has a rutile-type structure in which aluminium and arsenic are six-coordinate.
