Explanation:
Esta é a melhor tradução. Veja o que diz o Webster's:

alum1 (alem)
n.
1 a double sulfate of a monovalent metal or radical (as sodium, potassium, or ammonium) with a trivalent metal (as aluminum, iron, or chromium): it is used as an astringent, as an emetic, and in the manufacture of baking powders, dyes, and paper: the commonest form is potash alum (potassium aluminum sulfate), KAl(SO4)2X12H2O
2 aluminum sulfate: an erroneous use

Etymology
[ME & OFr < L alumen, alum: for IE base see ale]


Compare com o que diz o Aurelio:

[Do lat. alumen, por via semi-erudita.]
S. m. Quím.
1. Qualquer sulfato duplo de um metal trivalente (alumínio, cromo, ferro) e de um metal alcalino ou de amônio, alúmen.
