Ferric sulphate or sulfate is a reddish-brown crystalline solid which is highly soluble in water. It is widely employed for coagulating agents in a wide range of industries and water treatment processes.
Coagulant
Water Treatment and Mining
Used widely in water treatment as a coagulant to help eliminate suspended solids and other impurities.
Coalesces fine particles thus promoting their sedimentation and filtering.
Used in wastewater treatment for the removal of phosphorus and conditioning of sludge.
Facilitates coagulation of phosphates and organic materials, thus enhancing water quality.
It is used in the paper industry for sizing and coloring processes.
Increases paper density and improves ink hold-out properties.
Used in the textile industry for dyeing and printing purposes.
It is used as a fixative which enhances dye uptake and fastness properties.
It is used as a catalyst and reagent in different chemical synthetic processes.
It helps in the synthesis of organic and inorganic compounds.
Ferric sulfate is carefully packed in moisture-proof containers to ensure that it does not absorb moisture as it is transported and stored. It is properly labeled and comes with handling instructions suitable for use as a coagulant as well as in other industrial processes.
