Ferrous sulphate (FeSO₄) is an effective coagulant and flocculant widely used in water treatment. It appears as a greenish crystalline solid or powder and is highly soluble in water. It plays a crucial role in removing contaminants, phosphates, and heavy metals from wastewater. Additionally, it aids in odor control by neutralizing hydrogen sulfide. Ferrous sulphate is also used in soil conditioning, pigment production, and industrial effluent treatment. Proper handling is required due to its oxidation properties.
