ANHYDROUS FERRIC CHLORIDE MARKET ANALYSIS

Anhydrous Ferric Chloride MarketSize and Trends

The global anhydrous ferric chloride market size is likely to observe potential gains in the near future, and witness significant CAGR over the forecast period (2019 - 2027).

Market Overview

Ferric chloride, also called iron chloride and iron(III) chloride (or iron trichloride), is an inorganic salt used as a coagulant in the chemical industry; specifically for waste water treatment. The iron trichloride solution is colourless (or takes a faint tinge of brown) with an odor that carries a hint of hydrochloric acid. The iron(III) chloride solution is highly corrosive to most metals, as well as tissue. Furthermore, owing to its non-combustible nature and ability to react to corrosive metals or acid solution contained in water, ferric chloride has major application in the process of sewage treatment and water purification. Additionally, ferric chloride is able to etch copper by promoting oxidation from copper (I) to (II), which makes it an ideal ingredient in the process of printing circuit boards in the electronic industry.
