Ferrous Chloride, also known as Iron(II) chloride, is a pale green to yellowish compound used extensively in water treatment, metallurgy, and chemical synthesis. It is typically supplied as anhydrous powder or in aqueous solution. Its reductive properties and cost-effectiveness make it a staple in several industrial operations, particularly where iron content is needed as a precursor or reactant. Ferrous Chloride or Ferrous dichloride is preferred in environmental remediation & chemical processing industries for wastewater purification, pigment manufacturing, and iron surface modification. This FeCl2 has reducing characteristics make it especially useful inFeCl2 processes requiring conversion of ferric to ferrous states.
