USALCO Ferrous Sulfate (5%)

USALCO Ferrous Sulfate (5%) is an effective liquid coagulant made from bivalent iron (Fe2+). It is produced through the reaction of high-purity iron ore and metallic iron with sulfuric acid. This solution can be efficiently used as a flocculant and coagulant in the treatment of municipal and industrial water and wastewater. Its applications include controlling hydrogen sulfide, reducing chromate and complexing cyanide, de-chlorination, conditioning sludge, and precipitating phosphate with aeration.
