Hydrolysis reaction	Ferric chloride is one of the most acidic salts of aqueous solution in the range of junior high school and senior high school, because Fe 3+ The intensity of Hydrolysis reaction Caused by: Fe 3+ +3H two O⇌Fe(OH) three +3H + FeCl three +3H two O⇌Fe(OH) three +3HCl (Because hydrolysis is a reversible reaction, the generated Fe (OH) three The amount is too small to precipitate, so no precipitation symbol is written) This is also the only way to get Ferric hydroxide Or basic ferric chloride (to obtain ferric chloride Hydrogen chloride Evaporation in atmosphere, hydrolysis inhibition) (If heating continues, HCl will continue to be removed to get ferric hydroxide)^[3] FeCl three +3H two O=Fe(OH) three (Colloid)+3HCl The laboratory can use the hydrolysis reaction of ferric chloride to produce Ferric hydroxide colloid 。^[2]

purpose

edit

Mainly used for metal etching and sewage treatment . Etching includes the etching of copper, stainless steel, aluminum and other materials. It has the advantages of good effect and low price for the treatment of raw water with low oil content, but it has the disadvantage of yellowing water color. It is also used for printing and dyeing cylinder engraving, electronic industrial circuit board and fluorescent digital cylinder production. Construction industry for preparation concrete To enhance the strength, corrosion resistance and water resistance of concrete. Can also be connected with Ferrous chloride 、 calcium chloride 、 Aluminium chloride 、 aluminum sulfate , hydrochloric acid, etc Waterproof agent Inorganic industry is used to manufacture other iron salts and inks. The dye industry is used as an oxidant in the dyeing of indigo dyes. The printing and dyeing industry uses Mordant 。 Metallurgical industry is used as chlorination intrusion agent for extracting gold and silver. Organic industry is used as catalyst, oxidant and chlorination agent. The glass industry is used as a hot colorant for glassware. Soap making industry is used to recover glycerol from soap waste liquid Coagulant 。

Another important use of ferric chloride is Hardware etching Etching products such as: Spectacle frame , clock, electronic component ， Nameplate 。^[2]

Leakage emergency treatment

Announce

edit

Isolate the leakage contaminated area, set up warning signs around it, and suggest emergency treatment personnel to wear gas masks and chemical protective clothing. Do not directly contact with the leakage, avoid dust, collect and transport to the waste disposal site for disposal. Dissolve it in a. water, b. acid, or c. oxidize it into aqueous solution, add sulfide to precipitate, and then discard it. It can also be washed with a large amount of water, and the diluted washing water is put into the wastewater system. If there is a large amount of leakage, it shall be collected and recycled or discarded after harmless treatment.
