Ferric sulfate NEW

Ferric sulfate is a sulfate of iron (III) with the formula Fe2(SO4)3. Usually yellow, water-soluble crystals, orthorhombic. It is used as a mordant and coagulant for industrial wastewater, as well as in pigments. Ferric sulfate is used in medicine as an astringent and a hemostatic agent. Large quantities of ferric sulfate can be obtained by the reaction of sulfuric acid, a hot solution of ferrous sulfate, with an oxidizing agent such as nitric acid or hydrogen peroxide. 2 FeSO4 + H2SO4 + H2O2 = Fe2(SO4)3 + 2 H2O

The domestic ferric sulfate reagent is usually "Fe2(SO4)3·xH2O" with iron content of 21~23%, that is, x≈6, and the relative molecular mass is about 507.73.
