Ferric Chloride, 10% w/v as Hexahydrate
Manufacturer: LabChem Inc.
Ferric Chloride, 10% w/v as Hexahydrate from LabChem Inc. is a laboratory-grade iron(III) reagent designed for precise chemical dosing and analytical workflows. By providing a stabilized 10% w/v concentration, this solution eliminates the variability and safety hazards associated with weighing and dissolving hygroscopic Ferric Chloride crystals. It is a fundamental reagent for coagulation testing, phosphate removal, and general precipitation chemistry in industrial and environmental facilities.
Description
Features:
- Precision Dosing: The standardized 10% concentration simplifies volumetric calculations for "jar testing" in wastewater treatment, allowing for predictable reaction kinetics and accurate scale-up to industrial volumes
- Effective Flocculant: Rapidly destabilizes colloidal suspensions, facilitating the removal of suspended solids, heavy metals, and organic matter from water samples
- Controlled Purity: Manufactured under strict protocols to deliver a consistent ionic composition, ensuring that laboratory batches remain reproducible across different shifts and testing cycles
- Safety & Convenience: Prevents the inhalation of corrosive dust and the heat-generating (exothermic) reactions that occur when dissolving solid ferric chloride in water
Safety & Regulatory Information:
DANGER! Corrosive & Oxidizing: This solution is highly acidic and can cause severe skin burns and permanent eye damage. As an oxidizer, it may intensify fire if it comes into contact with combustible materials.
- Personal Protection: Wear nitrile gloves, safety splash goggles, and a lab coat. Use in a well-ventilated area or a certified laboratory fume hood.
- Storage: Store in the original, tightly closed container in a cool, dry place. Keep away from strong bases, alkali metals, and combustible materials.
- Corrosion Note: Ferric chloride is highly corrosive to most metals (including stainless steel). Clean any spills immediately to prevent hardware damage.
