Description

Ferrous chloride, also known as iron(II) chloride, is a chemical compound with the formula FeCl2. It is a green, deliquescent solid that is soluble in water. Ferrous chloride is a common industrial chemical, used in the production of iron, steel, and other metal alloys. It is also used in the manufacture of pigments, dyes, and pharmaceuticals. Ferrous chloride is a reducing agent and can be used to remove oxygen from water. It is also used in the treatment of wastewater. Ferrous chloride can be synthesized by reacting iron with hydrochloric acid. The reaction is exothermic and produces hydrogen gas. Ferrous chloride is an important chemical in the industrial production of iron and steel. It is also used in the manufacture of various products, including pigments, dyes, and pharmaceuticals. Ferrous chloride is studied for its potential use in water treatment, wastewater treatment, and as a reducing agent.'
