（含）铝的硫酸盐

Explanation:
aluminium sulphate即硫酸铝，是Al2(SO4)3；而sulphate of aluminium则不一定是纯的硫酸铝，有可能是含铝的复盐，如明矾[KAl(SO4)2·12H2O]、铵明矾[NH4A1(SO4)2·12H2O]等。

我觉得“硫酸铝”的英文表达 "aluminium Sulphate "用得更多。至于为什么用"of" , "of aluminium" 这个介词短语（其中aluminium为名词）可以用作后置修饰语，修饰前面的名词，其功能和一个形容词差不多。而在 "aluminium Sulphate "这个短语中，aluminium为形容词，修饰后面的名词。
