Ferric Chloride (FeCl₃) is widely used in water and wastewater treatment as an effective coagulant to remove suspended solids, organic matter, and phosphorus.
FeCl₃ is applied in printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing for copper etching due to its strong and controllable etching ability.
Ferric Chloride is utilized in metal surface treatment for pickling, corrosion control, and surface preparation.
FeCl₃ is used in chemical manufacturing as a catalyst or intermediate in the production of pigments, dyes, and other iron-based compounds.
Ferric Chloride plays an important role in industrial effluent treatment by improving solid–liquid separation and sludge dewatering efficiency.
FeCl₃ is applied in laboratory and research applications for analytical chemistry and material testing.
