Ferric
Chloride Liquid
Ferric Chloride Liquid is a solution
of Iron III Chloride (FeCl3) in water. It is manufactured by virgin
raw material in an oxidation process using chlorine and Ferrous
Chloride solution.
Ferric Chloride Solution is a
concentrated solution ranging from 30-45% Ferric Chloride.
Typical Applications and
Benefits:
Ferric Chloride Solution is an excellent source of Fe3+ ions where
the application demands a strong inorganic cationic metal salt. The
applications where Ferric Chloride Solution is often the product of
choice are:
Municipal and Industrial Wastewater Treatment
- Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) gas and odor reduction
- TSS (Total Suspended Solids) removal
- Phosphorous removal
- COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) reduction
- BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) and TOC (Total Organic Carbon)
removal
- Sludge dewatering
Municipal and Industrial Water
Treatment
- Color removal
- Turbidity removal
- TOC (Total Organic Carbon) reduction
Printed Circuit Boards
- Copper etchant
