Ferric Chloride

Ferric Chloride

Ferric chloride is an important iron salt. When dissolved in water, it releases a large amount of heat, forming a coffee-colored or brownish-yellow acidic solution. From this solution, hexahydrate ferric chloride with crystalline water can be precipitated. It is widely used in wastewater treatment (flocculant), metal etching, catalytic processes, oxidation reactions, mordant applications, pharmaceutical manufacturing…
