Iron(III) chloride hexahydrate, 98%, Certified® ACS 30g

A variety of organically templated iron phosphates, of interest because of their rich crystal chemistry and their ability to absorb large molecules in their micropores, were prepared using this compound. Used to prepare organically templated iron phosphates. It is used chloride hydrometallurgy (Silgarin process to produce silicon), production of precursors for polyvinyl chloride and copper-based metals in printed circuit boards. It plays an important role in photoengraving and photography as an etching agent. It is useful as a mordant in dyeing and printing textiles. It is useful in the detection of phenols and phenolic derivatives; gamma-hydroxybutyric acids and in the Trinder spot test for detecting salicylic acids. Also, used for sewerage treatment of industrial wastes, drinking water production.
