Description
Ferric Chloride Powder is the solid, powdered form of ferric chloride (FeCl₃), an inorganic compound where iron is in the +3 oxidation state. It is typically a dark brown or reddish-brown crystalline powder, highly soluble in water, and is used as a coagulant in water treatment, an etching agent in metalwork, and a laboratory reagent.
Key Features:
• Chemical Nature – Inorganic compound with iron in the +3 oxidation state.
• Appearance – Dark brown to reddish-brown crystalline powder.
• Solubility – Highly soluble in water, forming a strongly acidic solution.
• Corrosive – Can corrode metals and irritate skin or eyes on contact.
• Coagulant Properties – Excellent for removing impurities in water and wastewater treatment.
• Etching Agent – Commonly used in PCB (printed circuit board) and metal etching.
• Stability – Stable in dry form; reacts with moisture and organic materials.
• Reactivity – Strong oxidizing agent under certain conditions.
• Industrial Utility – Widely used in chemical, metallurgical, and environmental applications.
• Storage – Should be stored in a dry, airtight container to prevent hydrolysis.
Applications:
• Water Treatment: Removes suspended solids and purifies water as a coagulant.
• Wastewater Treatment: Eliminates turbidity, phosphates, and odors from wastewater.
• PCB & Metal Etching: Etches copper and other metals for circuit boards and industrial purposes.
• Chemical Industry: Acts as a catalyst in organic reactions and chemical syntheses.
• Metallurgy: Cleans and removes oxides or scale from metal surfaces.
• Laboratory Use: Serves as a reagent for chemical analysis and experiments.
• Oil & Gas Industry: Controls impurities and pH in drilling fluids.
• Industrial Cooling Systems: Prevents scaling and corrosion in water circuits.
