Useful:

• Canonical SMILES: [Cl-].[Cl-].[Cl-].[Fe+3]
• Chemical Properties: Ferric chloride is an orange to brown-black solid that is slightly soluble in water. It is noncombustible but is corrosive to aluminum and most metals when wet.
• Industrial Applications: Ferric chloride is used in various applications, including:; Treating sewage and industrial waste.; Purifying water.; Acting as an etching agent for engraving circuit boards.; Manufacturing other chemicals.
• Role in Coagulation and Water Treatment: Ferric chloride is used in coagulation processes for water treatment.; Calcium (Ca2+) plays a significant role in enhancing the effectiveness of ferric chloride in coagulating natural organic matter (NOM) during water treatment.; Experiments and modeling have demonstrated that the presence of Ca2+ improves Fe hydrolysis, increases zeta potential, and enhances NOM removal.
• Soil Remediation: Ferric chloride is used in soil washing techniques for the remediation of multi-metal contaminated soil. Studies have shown that soil washing with ferric chloride, either alone or in combination with chelators, enhances the removal of heavy metals from the topsoil. The addition of ferric chloride may increase metal leaching but is considered favorable for soil remediation.
• Catalyst in Liquid Catalyzed Fuel Cells (LCFC): Ferric chloride (FeCl3) is used as a main catalyst in liquid catalyzed fuel cells (LCFC) for the direct conversion of carbohydrates to electricity. It accelerates the hydrolysis and oxidation of carbohydrates and enhances electron transfer from glucose to the anode. The addition of FeCl3 reduces the usage of polyoxometalates, making LCFC operation less toxic and more economical.
