Product Description:
Ferric sulfate, with the chemical formula Fe?(SO?)?, typically appears as a yellowish - brown crystalline solid or powder. It is hygroscopic, meaning it has a tendency to absorb moisture from the air. In an aqueous solution, it dissociates into ferric ions (Fe³?) and sulfate ions (SO?²?). In the water treatment industry, ferric sulfate is widely used as a coagulant. It helps to remove impurities such as suspended solids, organic matter, and heavy metals from water by causing the particles to clump together, making them easier to filter out. In the chemical industry, it serves as a catalyst in various chemical reactions. For example, in some oxidation reactions, it can speed up the reaction rate. In the manufacturing of pigments, ferric sulfate is used as a raw material to produce iron - based pigments that are used in paints, inks, and plastics to provide color. In the agricultural field, although not as commonly used as some other fertilizers, it can be applied in certain soil conditions to supply iron to plants, which is essential for various physiological processes like chlorophyll synthesis. However, like many chemical substances, it needs to be handled with care. Contact with skin and eyes should be avoided, and proper safety measures should be taken during its storage and transportation.

 

Application: 

Ferric sulfate has multiple applications. In water treatment, it's used as a coagulant to remove impurities like suspended solids. In the chemical industry, it acts as a catalyst in certain reactions. For pigment manufacturing, it serves as a raw material for iron - based pigments used in paints, inks, and plastics. In agriculture, it can supply iron to plants in specific soil conditions, aiding in processes like chlorophyll synthesis. Caution is required during handling to avoid skin and eye contact, and proper safety measures are essential for storage and transportation.
