Ferric Chloride
Ferric Chloride is a dark brown, crystalline solid with a strong, pungent odor. It is highly soluble in water, producing a yellow-brown solution. In its anhydrous form (without water), it forms crystals with a hexagonal lattice structure. Ferric Chloride can also exist in different hydrated forms, such as the hexahydrate FeCl3·6H2O.
APPLICATION & USAGE
- Ferric Chloride is commonly used as a coagulant in wastewater treatment plants to remove impurities and contaminants. It helps in the precipitation and removal of suspended solids, heavy metals, and phosphates.
- It is used in laboratories for various chemical tests and experiments.
- It is used in the production of pigments and dyes.
- It is used in the maintenance of sewer systems and drains to control odors and prevent the formation of hydrogen sulfide gas. It reacts with sulfides and converts them into insoluble iron sulfides.
- It is employed in metal finishing and surface treatment processes.
