Ferric Chloride Hexahydrate AR 5kg

Ferric Chloride Hexahydrate AR is primarily used to detect the presence of phenols and phenolic derivatives, as well as in various analytical studies, wastewater treatment, etching applications, and as a chemical precursor.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
Detection of Phenols:
Ferric chloride solution can be used as a reagent in a test to qualitatively identify the presence of phenols (and related compounds like enols, hydroxamic acids, oximes, and sulfinic acids) in a sample.
Analytical Studies:
It’s used in various analytical procedures and experiments, often as a reagent for specific reactions or as a source of iron(III) ions.
Wastewater Treatment:
Ferric chloride is used in wastewater treatment processes, acting as a coagulant to remove suspended solids and other impurities.
Etching Applications:
It’s employed in photoengraving and the etching of circuit boards.
Chemical Precursor:
Ferric chloride serves as a precursor for the synthesis of other chemicals and materials.
