iron sulphate
TRANSCRIPT
Iron(II) sulfate
production
• steel prior to plating or coating, the steel sheet or rod is passed through pickling baths of sulfuric acid. This treatment produces large quantities of iron(II) sulfate as a by-product
Equation• Fe + H2SO4 → FeSO4 + H2
production
• Ferrous sulfate is also prepared commercially by oxidation of pyrite:
Equation• 2 FeS2 + 7 O2 + 2 H2O → 2 FeSO4 + H2SO4
Application
• used as a photographic developer for collodion process images.
• Woodworkers use ferrous sulfate solutions to color maple wood a silvery hue
• used to stain concrete and some lime stones
• use in wool dyeing as a mordant.
