Product Description
IRON(II) CHLORIDE TETRAHYDRATE is a hydrated salt of ferrous chloride, known for its role in various chemical reactions and industrial processes. It is primarily used as a reducing agent in organic synthesis, facilitating the reduction of compounds to their lower oxidation states. In addition to its use in laboratory settings, IRON(II) CHLORIDE TETRAHYDRATE finds applications in wastewater treatment, where it helps in the removal of heavy metals and other contaminants. Its tetrahydrate form provides a stable and soluble source of iron(II) ions, making it a practical choice for a broad spectrum of chemical reactions and environmental cleanup efforts.
Application
The applications of IRON(II) CHLORIDE TETRAHYDRATE extend to the field of electroplating, where it serves as a component in the plating baths for metal deposition. Its ability to act as a reducing agent also makes it useful in the production of various chemicals and materials, including dyes and pigments. Furthermore, in agriculture, it can be used as a soil amendment to enhance fertility and promote plant growth by providing available iron.
