Ferric chloride is water soluble lumps. Ferric chloride, also known as Iron (III) chloride, is used in brown patinas (copper, brass, bronze) as well as treatment of sewage, water purification, as an etching agent for engraving and photography, printed circuitry, a mordant in dyeing and printing textiles, oxidizing agent, and a clinical reagent.

Advantage
Ferric-chloride has good flocculation effect,can be used in the activated sludge dehydration.
Ferric-chloride can generate discrete and close-grained floc and sedimentate quickly, it also have good sedimentation effect in low temperature water.
It has low solubility, adapts a wide applicable PH range. Used as filter aid can greatly improve the effect of turbidity removal.
Ferric-chloride is an important kind of water treatment agent and have remarkable effect when used in waste water of high turbidity.
