Products Description of Ferric chloride CAS#7705-08-0
Ferric chloride is a black-brown hexagonal crystal—pomegranate red in transmitted light and metallic green in reflected light. It is highly 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. It is mainly used as a water treatment agent, as well as a mordant, catalyst, chlorinating agent, and raw material for manufacturing other iron salts.

Product Application of Ferric chloride CAS#7705-08-0
It serves as a catalyst in organic synthesis, an analytical reagent for copper, selenium, and arsenic, and an indicator for the determination of phenol, cholesterol, and choline.
It is also used as an analytical reagent and a thin-layer chromatography developer.
Primarily, it functions as a water treatment agent, along with applications as a mordant, catalyst, chlorinating agent, and raw material for manufacturing other iron salts. Its uses also include water purification, as well as in printing plates, pigments, dyes, and pharmaceuticals.
Ferric chloride is mainly employed as a water purifier for drinking water and a precipitant for wastewater treatment and purification. In the printing and dyeing industry, it acts as an oxidant and mordant for indigo dyeing. It serves as a catalyst in organic synthesis (e.g., for dichloroethane production), a chlorination leaching agent for silver and copper ores, and an etchant for photography and printing plates.
Additionally, it is used as a nutritional supplement (iron fortifier) in products such as infant formula and weaning foods.
