Amorphous aluminium phosphate powders were synthesized as a single phase by neutralization reaction of a stoichiometric mixture of $Al_2(SO_4)_3$ and $H_3PO_4$ using the NaOH or KOH solution and subsequently by the hydrothermal precipitation method. The synthesis conditions were as follows : starting materials; $Al_2(SO_4)_3$ and $H_3PO_4$,pH ranges of neutralization reaction; between 5.6 and 6.0, temperature ranges of hydrothermal reaction; between 170 and $180^{\circ}C$,time ranges of hydrothermal reaction; between 4 and 5hs. Under such synthesis conditions, the products are obtained as amorphous aluminium phosphate powders of 0.1~0.3$\mu\textrm{m}$ in size and are Eitted to USP (United Standard Pharmacopoeia) test.
