Alfa Aesar™ Iron(II) chloride tetrahydrate,

Iron(II) chloride tetrahydrate is used as a reducing agent in metallurgy, in pharmaceutical preparations, as a mordant in dyeing and in sewage treatment. Ferrous chloride has a kind of niche application. During the laboratory synthesis of iron complexes, ferrous chloride acts as a reducing flocculating agent in waste water treatment, particularly for wastes containing chromate. It is the precursor to hydrated iron(III) oxides that are magnetic pigments. Ferrous chloride is employed as a reducing agent in many organic synthesis reactions. For Use With (Application): Reducing agent in metallurgy, pharmaceutical preparations, mordant in dyeing, sewage treatment, synthesis of iron complexes, precursor to hydrated iron(III) oxides.
