Ferric chloride (FeCl₃) is a powerful coagulant used in water and wastewater treatment. It is available as a dark brown liquid or crystalline solid in anhydrous form. Known for its high efficiency in removing suspended particles, heavy metals, and phosphates, it also controls odor and enhances sludge dewatering. Ferric chloride is widely used in industrial effluent treatment, metal etching, and sewage processing. Due to its corrosive nature, proper handling and storage are required.
