Ferric Chloride Liquid

Description

1. Product Overview

Ferric Chloride Liquid (FeCl₃ solution) is a high-performance inorganic coagulant widely used in industrial water treatment, wastewater purification, and metal surface processing. It functions as a powerful oxidizing and flocculating agent, effectively removing suspended solids, phosphates, and heavy metals from industrial effluents. Its key value proposition lies in its strong coagulation efficiency, operational reliability, and cost-effectiveness across large-scale treatment systems. Strategically, Ferric Chloride is a critical input for municipalities, chemical processors, and electronics manufacturers due to its versatility and consistent performance in demanding environments.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical Composition: Ferric Chloride (FeCl₃) aqueous solution
• Concentration / Grade: Typically 28%–42% FeCl₃ solution (industrial grade available upon request)
• Appearance: Dark brown to reddish-brown liquid
• Odor: Pungent, acidic
• Density: ~1.35–1.50 g/cm³ (varies by concentration)
• Solubility: Fully miscible in water
• Corrosivity: Highly corrosive; requires compatible storage materials (FRP, rubber-lined steel, HDPE)
• Packaging Options: IBC tanks (1000L), bulk tanker trucks, ISO tanks
• Shelf Life: 12–24 months under proper sealed storage conditions

3. Core Industrial Applications

Ferric Chloride Liquid is extensively used in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants for coagulation and phosphorus removal. In the electronics industry, it serves as a primary etchant for printed circuit boards (PCBs) due to its controlled and uniform metal removal capability. It is also applied in potable water treatment, sludge conditioning, pigment production, and chemical synthesis processes. Compared to alternative coagulants such as alum, Ferric Chloride offers stronger floc formation, broader pH tolerance, and improved removal efficiency for heavy contaminants, making it highly effective in high-load wastewater systems.
