With the development of industry, people are paying more and more attention to the issue of wastewater treatment. Ferric Chloride is a great option.
Ferric chloride, an inorganic compound, exists in three forms: anhydrous, hexahydrate and solution. Because of its coagulating and strong oxidizing properties, ferric chloride has become an excellent Water Treatment Chemical for treating contaminants and heavy metals.
- In steel plant wastewater treatment
Wastewater from steel plants contains large amounts of heavy metals, such as lead, chromium and nickel. By adding ferric chloride solution to the wastewater to precipitate heavy metals together with sediments by coagulation, the heavy metals in the water can be effectively reduced. In addition, ferric chloride is also a good choice to remove phosphorus. Phosphorus is a common nutrient in wastewater, and excessive phosphorus can lead to eutrophication of water bodies.
- In municipal wastewater treatment
Ferric chloride reacts with water to form ferric hydroxide, which is capable of adsorbing suspended particles, organics and other contaminants so as to form larger and heavier flocs. These flocs settle more easily during filtration, which can purify the water.
- In printing and dyeing wastewater treatment
Dyeing effluent contains high levels of chroma, organic matter and other pollutants. Ferric chloride combines with the pigment in the wastewater to form flocculants, at the same time, decomposes the organic matter in the wastewater into a more stable substance by oxidation, thus achieving decolorization.
It should be noted that anhydrous matter will agglomerate and deteriorate after absorbing moisture. Avoid packaging damage and store in a dry environment. Hexahydrate and solution need to avoid direct sunlight and high temperature.
It can be seen that ferric chloride has a wide range of applications and remarkable effects in wastewater treatment, even in low temperature water. Through coagulation and oxidation, ferric chloride can effectively remove heavy metals, organic matter and other pollutants in wastewater and improve water quality. Meanwhile, ferric chloride has greater economic advantages due to its low cost and easy operation. Therefore, Ferric Chloride Flocculant is a good choice for wastewater treatment.
