Ferric Chloride Hexahydrate Chemical Properties, Uses, Production

Uses

Ferric Chloride Hexahydrate is used in photoengraving, photography, the manufacture of pigments and ink, the chlorination of silver and copper ores, and as a mordant in dyeing and printing textiles.
It is also utilized in the synthesis of organic compounds.
FeCl3 is used in the Mayer's tannic acid/ferric chloride method for staining tissue and their observation by light microscopy.
Studies of iron uptake and of apoptosis in cultured cells have utilized FeCl3 as an iron source.

Definition

Ferric Chloride Hexahydrate is a hydrate that is the hexahydrate form of iron trichloride. It has a role as an astringent and a Lewis acid. It is a hydrate, an inorganic chloride and an iron coordination entity. It contains an iron trichloride.

Q:What is the function of iron chloride hexahydrate in water treatment? What are its hazards?Zora - Apr 9,2026
A: Iron chloride hexahydrate is a brownish-yellow or orange solid with mild odor of hydrogen chloride; Highly hygroscopic and soluble in water; it is used mainly in the EU as flocculating and precipitating agents in potable and waste water treatment plants and paper mills; The mechanism of action of it is to hydrolyze in water to generate iron hydroxide colloid, which adsorbs and precipitates suspended particles, organic matter, heavy metals and phosphates in the water. Iron chloride hexahydrate has an irritant that may cause liver injury; Causes burns; Inhalation may cause corrosive injuries to upper respiratory tract; Harmful by ingestion.
