FeCl3 6H2O is yellow or orange yellow crystal, without odor. It has acerbity and hygroscopicity. And in the air, it can become red brown liquid. Easily soluble in water, water solution is strong acid, can make protein solidification. Soluble in ethanol, ethyl ether, acetone, also can dissolve in liquid sulfur dioxide and procedures, aniline, insoluble in glycerin, trichloride.

The Features of Ferric Chloride Hexahydrate Ferric chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3·6H2O) is a solid form or crystalline form of ferric chloride solution. It is a brown yellow powder solid with all the properties and uses of ferric chloride. Ferric chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3·6H2O) has astringency but no odor. And it can deliquesce into red brown liquid in the air because of its high hygroscopicity and deliquescence. Ferric chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3·6H2O) is soluble in water, The aqueous solution is strong acid, which can make protein coagulate. It’s also soluble in ethanol, liquid sulfur dioxide, ethylamine, aniline, etc., but insoluble in glycerol, phosphorus trichloride, etc.

Iron chloride hexahydrate has low solubility, adapts a wide applicable PH range. Used as filter aid can greatly improve the effect of turbidity removal. It is an important kind of water treatment agent and have remarkable effect when used in waste water of high turbidity.

Advantage of ferric chloride hexahydrate: Ferric chloride crystals has good flocculation effect. It can be used in the activated sludge dehydration. It can generate discrete and close-grained floc and sedimentate quickly. It also have good sedimentation effect in low temperature water.

Iron iii chloride hexahydrate is mainly used for water treatment agent, printing plate, electronic circuits board of mordants, metallurgy industry of chlorinated agent, dyestuff industry of antioxidants and mordant, organic synthesis industrial catalysts and antioxidant, chlorinated agent, is to produce other physico-chemical process, pigment of materials and used in mining mineral.
