Raw Material for Ferric alum Production
According to the ferric alum production plant project report, the key raw material for ferric alum production includes ferric sulfate-ammonium sulfate.
Manufacturing Process of Ferric Alum
The extensive ferric alum production cost report consists of the major industrial production process:
- From Ferric sulfate and Ammonium Sulfate: The preparation process of ferric alum comprises a chemical reaction between ammonium sulfate and ferric sulfate. The reaction is followed by filtration and purification to obtain ferric alum as the end product.
Ferric Alum or ferric ammonium sulfate is an iron-based chemical compound with a chemical formula of FeNH4(SO4)2. The compound comprises one iron, one nitrogen, four hydrogen, two sulfur, and eight oxygen atoms with a molecular weight of 266.01 g/mol. Its boiling point is measured at approximately 120 °C. It is a clear, colorless chemical liquid with no odor. It is a chemical salt with a free-flowing nature. It is a metallic salt compound containing iron at a +3-oxidation state.
Ferric Alum, which is also known as ammonium iron (III) sulfate is a metal salt that is obtained by the chemical reaction between ferric sulfate and ammonium sulfate. It is a chemical etching agent that is poorly soluble in water. It is a soluble compound that is slightly soluble in water but is insoluble in chemical solvents. It is insoluble in alcohols, including ethanol, etc. The compound decomposes when heated at a high temperature while emitting oxides of iron and sulfur.
