Ferric chloride CAS#7705-08-0
Products Description of Ferric Chloride CAS#7705-08-0Ferric chloride is a black-brown hexagonal crystal, appearing pomegranate red under transmitted light and metallic green under reflected light. It has a wide solubility profile: readily soluble in water, methanol, ethanol, acetone and ether; soluble in liquid sulfur dioxide, phosphorus tribromide, phosphorus oxychloride, ethylamine and aniline; slightly soluble in carbon disulfide; and insoluble in glycerol. Its main applications include use as a water treatment agent, as well as a mordant, catalyst and chlorinating agent, and in the manufacture of other iron salts.

Product Application of Ferric Chloride (CAS No. 7705-08-0)
1. Application Scenarios
1.1 Water Treatment
Ferric chloride is mainly used as a water purifier for drinking water and a precipitant for the treatment and purification of wastewater, effectively removing suspended solids and impurities through coagulation.
1.2 Analytical & Laboratory
It serves as an analytical reagent and thin-layer chromatographic developer, and is used to analyze copper, selenium and arsenic, as well as acting as an indicator for the determination of phenol, cholesterol and choline.
1.3 Printing, Dyeing & Industrial Use
It is used as an oxidant and mordant for indigo dyeing, as a catalyst (including for the production of dichloroethane) in organic synthesis, as a chlorination leaching agent for silver and copper ores, and as an etching agent for photography and printing plates.
1.4 Food & Nutritional Applications
Ferric chloride is used as a nutritional supplement (iron fortifier), particularly in infant formula and weaning food.
2. Other Main Uses
It is also used as a mordant, catalyst and chlorinating agent, and in the manufacture of other iron salts, as well as for water purification, printing plates, pigments, dyes and drugs.
