Ferrous Chloride
Ferrous Chloride (FeCl₂) is a highly soluble iron salt primarily used in wastewater treatment, metallurgy, and chemical manufacturing. It acts as a reducing agent and plays a vital role in water purification by precipitating heavy metals. Additionally, it is employed in pigment production and as a precursor in various chemical syntheses.
Applications
- Water Treatment: Used in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment for heavy metal removal.
- Chemical Industry: Key intermediate in the production of ferric chloride, iron oxides, and other iron-based chemicals.
- Metallurgy: Applied in metal surface treatment and pickling processes.
- Pigments & Dyes: Used in the manufacture of iron-based pigments.
Safety and packaging details
- Store in corrosion-resistant containers and keep away from oxidizing agents.
- Available in liquid or solid form, depending on industrial needs.
- Packaged in 50 kg/200 kg HDPE drums or IBC tanks for bulk requirements.
