Ferric Aluminium Sulfate GRANULAR 16% (Ferrous) Chemical appearance:

Ferric Aluminium Sulfate GRANULAR 16% (Ferrous)  The crystalline and powder forms of the substance are soluble in water. However, it is not soluble in organic solvent such as ethanol. When in water, the solution appears clears and does not form a residue. Both of them are not toxic and do not catch flames. However, it can present an environmental hazard if spread in a large area.

Chemical application and strengths:

• • Ferric alum contains trace amounts of iron and lead and has a pH of approximately 3.5. It can absorb moisture from the atmosphere, so users should store it in a closed container in a dry environment. They should also keep it away from materials that can cause oxidation and result in a darker color.

    Because ferric alum is a non-combustible powder, industries commonly use it in certain firefighting applications. When operators apply it at the base of a fire, it can form a blanket that limits the combusting material’s access to oxygen and helps suppress the fire.

    Some water-treatment companies use ferric alum to purify water. During treatment, the compound hydrolyzes rapidly in water and reacts with various metal ions and other impurities. These reactions produce insoluble compounds that settle at the bottom of the treatment vessel, allowing operators to remove them through filtration or other separation methods.

    Unlike some water-treatment agents, ferric alum can remain effective at relatively low temperatures. This property makes it useful for water-treatment applications during colder seasons, including fall and winter.

    The compound can also support the treatment of sewage and wastewater. It reacts with organic matter and helps reduce unpleasant odors, thereby improving the overall quality of the treated wastewater.
