Ferric chloride
- Product Description
-
- Commodity name: Ferric chloride
Application: Coagulant and Flocculant: Ferric chloride is widely used to remove impurities, particles, and contaminants from water and wastewater. It acts as a coagulant by destabilizing and aggregating suspended particles, and as a flocculant by encouraging these particles to clump together into larger, more easily removed flocs.

Application:
Coagulant and Flocculant: Ferric chloride is widely used to remove impurities, particles, and contaminants from water and wastewater. It acts as a coagulant by destabilizing and aggregating suspended particles, and as a flocculant by encouraging these particles to clump together into larger, more easily removed flocs.
Phosphorus Removal: Ferric chloride effectively removes phosphates from wastewater by forming insoluble precipitates with phosphate ions. This is crucial for preventing eutrophication (excessive algae growth) in bodies of water.
pH Adjustment: Ferric chloride can also be used to adjust the pH of water, particularly when a decrease in pH is needed.
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Manufacturing:
Chemical Analysis: Ferric Chloride Test: Ferric chloride is used in a chemical test to detect the presence of phenols and other compounds containing enol or hydroxamic acid groups.
Catalyst: It can also act as a catalyst in various organic synthesis reactions.
Waste Treatment: Ferric chloride is used in the treatment of various industrial wastewaters.
Pigment Production: It plays a role in the production of pigments like iron oxide.
Packing:
Anhydrous: 25 kg / 50 kg drums or moisture-proof bags
Liquid Solution: 250 kg drums, IBC tanks (1000 L), or bulk tankers
Storage:
Anhydrous: Store in airtight, dry conditions (highly hygroscopic)
Liquid Solution: Keep in plastic or rubber-lined steel containers
Avoid moisture, heat, and strong oxidizers
Corrosive! Store away from metals, acids, and bases
