Key Features:
- Coagulation Champion: Ferric alum is a multipurpose aluminum sulfate compound with a key role in water treatment and various industrial processes.
Effective Coagulant: Ferric alum excels at clumping suspended particles (coagulation) in water purification, making it easier to remove impurities and clarify water. - Natural Choice: Derived from aluminum and sulfate, ferric alum offers an eco-friendly alternative to some synthetic flocculants.
- Industrial Workhorse: Beyond water treatment, ferric alum finds uses in paper manufacturing, textile dyeing as a mordant (fixing agent for dyes), and fire retardants.
- Mordant Magic: In textile dyeing, ferric alum helps dyes bond strongly to fabrics, resulting in vibrant and colorfast textiles.
Applications:
- Water Treatment (coagulation)
- Paper Manufacturing (sizing agent)
- Textile Industry (mordant)
- Fire Retardants
- Leather Tanning (limited use)
Safety Precautions:
- While generally safe, handle with care to avoid skin irritation. Wear gloves for prolonged contact.
- May be corrosive to certain metals in high concentrations.
- Store in a cool, dry place to prevent caking.
