Product Performance
physical property
Appearance: Generally blue-green monoclinic crystals or crystalline
powders.
Solubility: Easily soluble in water, its aqueous solution appears
light green. It also has some solubility in ethanol, but its
solubility is poor in organic solvents
Melting point: about 67 ℃. When heated to a certain temperature,
ferrous chloride tetrahydrate will lose its crystal water and may
decompose upon further heating.
chemical property
Reductive: The ferrous ion (Fe ² ⁺) in ferrous chloride
tetrahydrate has strong reducibility and is easily oxidized to
trivalent iron ion (Fe ³ ⁺) by oxidants such as oxygen in the air.
In aqueous solution, this oxidation reaction gradually changes the
color of the solution from light green to yellow.
Hydrolysis: Tetrahydrate ferrous chloride undergoes hydrolysis
reaction in water, making the solution acidic. The degree of
hydrolysis is related to factors such as the concentration and
temperature of the solution. The lower the concentration and the
higher the temperature, the greater the degree of hydrolysis.
Complexation: Ferrous ions can form complexes with some ligands,
such as ferrocyanide complexes with cyanide ions (CN ⁻).
Transportation precautions
Packaging requirements: Ferrous chloride tetrahydrate should be
packaged in well sealed containers, such as iron or plastic drums
lined with plastic bags, to prevent oxidation or deliquescence
during transportation when in contact with air or moisture.
Avoid mixing: Do not mix with oxidants, alkalis, and other
substances, as ferrous chloride tetrahydrate has reducing
properties and may undergo violent oxidation-reduction reactions
when in contact with oxidants; Chemical reactions occur when in
contact with alkaline substances, resulting in the formation of
precipitates such as ferrous hydroxide, which affects product
quality.
Heat and moisture prevention: During transportation, high
temperature and humid environments should be avoided, and cool, dry
transport vehicles or containers should be selected. If transported
in high temperatures during summer, appropriate cooling measures
should be taken, such as using refrigerated trucks or placing ice
packs in transport containers.
Clear labeling: The packaging should clearly indicate labels such
as "ferrous chloride tetrahydrate", "corrosive substances",
"moisture-proof", "anti-oxidation", as well as corresponding
hazardous chemical signs and warning signs to remind transportation
personnel to pay attention to safety.
Storage precautions
Storage environment: It should be stored in a cool, ventilated, and
dry warehouse, away from fire and heat sources, and the temperature
should not exceed 30 ℃. The relative humidity of the warehouse
should be kept below 75% to prevent product deliquescence.
Isolation storage: Store separately from oxidants, alkalis, edible
chemicals, etc., and avoid mixing storage. Special shelves or areas
can be set up to store ferrous chloride tetrahydrate, ensuring its
isolation from other incompatible substances.
Packaging sealing: During storage, ensure that the packaging is
intact and sealed to prevent air and moisture from entering. If any
damage is found in the packaging, it should be repaired or replaced
in a timely manner to avoid product deterioration.
Regular inspection: Regularly inspect the stored ferrous chloride
tetrahydrate, observe whether there are any changes in its
appearance, color, etc., and check for phenomena such as
deliquescence and oxidation. If any product is found to have
deteriorated, it should be dealt with promptly to prevent affecting
other products.

What is application field of Tetrahydrate ferrous chloride ?
Industrial grade
Purity: The purity is generally relatively low, usually around 90%
-98%, and may contain some impurities such as other metal ions,
insoluble substances, etc.
Water treatment: used as a water treatment agent for purifying water. It can react
chemically with impurities and pollutants in water, and remove
suspended particles, organic matter, and some heavy metal ions
through flocculation, precipitation, and other processes, achieving
the goal of purifying water quality. It is widely used in
industrial wastewater treatment, urban sewage treatment, and other
fields.
Printing and dyeing industry: used as a mordant in the printing and
dyeing industry to help dyes better adhere to fabrics, improve
dyeing effect and color fastness, and make the color of printed and
dyed fabrics more vivid and durable.
Pigment manufacturing: It is an important raw material for
preparing other iron-based pigments, such as iron oxide red, iron
oxide yellow, etc., which can be further reacted to prepare
pigments. These pigments are widely used in industries such as
coatings, paints, inks, plastics, etc., to give products different
colors and decorative effects.
Metal surface treatment: Used for surface treatment of metal materials such as steel, by
forming a protective film on the metal surface, it plays a role in
rust and corrosion prevention, and improves the service life of
metal products.
reagent grade
Purity: The purity is relatively high, generally reaching over 99%,
with extremely low impurity content. There are strict standards and
limitations on the content of various impurities, and it has good
chemical stability and accuracy.
Chemical experiment: In a chemical laboratory, it is used as an
important chemical reagent for various chemical experiments and
analyses. For example, it is used to prepare other iron compounds,
conduct oxidation-reduction reaction experiments, and as a raw
material for catalysts, providing basic experimental materials for
chemical research and teaching.
In the pharmaceutical industry, it can be used as an intermediate
for some drugs to synthesize drugs with therapeutic effects. For
example, in some drugs for treating anemia, ferrous chloride
tetrahydrate may be used as a raw material to further synthesize
bioactive drug components through chemical reactions.
Electronics industry: In the electronics industry, it is used to prepare electronic
components, semiconductor materials, etc. For example, in some
semiconductor manufacturing processes, ferrous chloride
tetrahydrate can be used as a dopant to adjust the electrical
properties of semiconductors and improve the performance and
stability of electronic components.
Research field: In the fields of materials science, biomedical
research, etc., it is used to study the synthesis of new materials,
the metabolism and mechanism of iron elements in organisms. For
example, when studying the structure and function of biological
ferritin, ferrous chloride tetrahydrate can be used as an iron
source to simulate the iron environment in organisms and explore
the processes of iron transportation, storage, and utilization in
organisms.
