RXSOL Ferric Sulfate 60% is an effective liquid ferric sulfate coagulant based on trivalent iron (Fe3+).
Category
RXSOL 1450 Ferric Sulfate 60% is an effective liquid Ferric Sulfate coagulant based on trivalent iron (Fe3+). The product is manufactured using a process reacting high purity iron ore with sulfuric acid. Ferric Sulfate Solution functions very well for both potable and wastewater clarification and can be used for turbidity removal, color removal, phosphate removal, heavy metal removal, in lime softening applications as well as for sludge conditioning. Ferric Sulfate Solution can also effectively be used in Hydrogen Sulfide control applications to reduce odor and corrosion.
Application
RXSOL1450 is scientifically formulated for use in drinking water applications, wastewater treatment and effluent treatment.
Dose
Ferric Sulfate should be fed straight. No dilution or preparation is required. A diaphragmmetering pump of non-corrosive material is suitable.
Technical specifications
The RXSOL Chemical Department provides Ferric Sulfate in a specialty liquid blend and standard granular form. And products dilute with water to reach desired concentrations prior to chemical treatment. Both products lower pH and/or flocculate contaminants in wastewater to aid in co-precipitation and removal of solids and metals.
Note

Remarks / Precaution
Handling :
The handling of any chemical requires care. Anyone responsible for using or handling Ferric Sulfate should familiarize themselves with the full safety precautions outlined in our Material Safety Data Sheet.
Storage
Storage tanks and piping should be constructed of suitable material such as stainless steel, fiberglass, or cross-linked polyethylene. With this chemical it is recommended to clean the storage tank every 1-2 years.

| STATEMENTS OF HAZARD | WARNING! IRRITATING TO EYES, SKIN, RESPIRATORY AND DIGESTIVE TRACTS |
| POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE | Direct contact with this material may cause moderate to severe eye and moderate skin irritation. The acute oral (rat) LD50 is estimated to be >400 mg/kg. |
| Other Important Hazards | Refer to TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION (Section 11) for additional information. |
| Ingestion | Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Obtain medical attention. Do not induce vomiting. Administer 250 – 300 ml water to dilute material in the stomach. |
| Skin Contact | In case of skin contact, wash affected areas of skin with soap and water. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. |
| Inhalation | If breathing has stopped, trained personnel should administer artificial respiration. If the heart has stopped, trained personnel should administer CPR. Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Obtain medical advice if there are persistent symptoms. |
| Suitable Extinguishing Media | The substance is not combustible. Use extinguishing media appropriate to the surrounding fire. |
| Protective Equipment | Wear full firefighting protective clothing. See MSDS Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection). Firefighters and others exposed, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. |
| Special Hazards | Sulfur oxides and/or toxic and flammable hydrogen sulfide may be formed under fire conditions. Keep unnecessary people away. |
| Mechanical/Static Sensitivity Statements | None |
| NOTE | Also see “Section 10 – Stability and Reactivity” |
| Personal precautions | Restrict access until clean-up operations are complete. Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment per Section 8. Ensure trained personnel conduct clean up and wear Personal Protective Equipment per Section 8. Stop leak if possible. Avoid personal risk. |
| Methods for Cleaning Up | Small Spills – Absorb spill with clay or dry material or neutralize with lime, limestone or soda ash and collect in appropriate container for disposal. Neutralization with soda ash can generate carbon dioxide so additional ventilation may be necessary. Large Spills – Prevent entry into sewers and confined areas. Dike, if possible. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate non-reactive dry materials and collect in appropriate container for disposal. Neutralize spill residuals carefully with lime, limestone, or soda ash and collect in suitable container for disposal. Flush area with water. This could generate carbon dioxide so additional ventilation may be necessary. * Notify Authorities if release exceeds reportable quantity per Section 15. |
| HANDLING Precautionary Measures | HANDLING Precautionary Measures |
| Special Handling Statements | Review the label, this MSDS and any other applicable information before use. Keep separated from incompatible substances. Use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment per Section 8. Handle only with equipment, materials and supplies specified by their manufacturer as being compatible and appropriate for use with this product. |
| STORAGE | material from coming in contact with common metals. Ensure that all storage vessels are labeled. Avoid skin and eye contact. Wear appropriate protective clothing. Store only in dry rubber-lined, plastic, FRP or stainless steel (304,316). Keep storage temperatures between 10° and 30°C. Store away from incompatible materials such as alkalis. Keep smaller containers (drums and totes) tightly closed when not in use or when empty. Product should be used within one year. Storage facilities should have secondary containment as required by law or regulation. Storage tanks, piping and offloading points should be labeled with appropriate signage to avoid accidents. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product. |
| Engineering Measures | A ventilation system of local/general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposure below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Ensure that eyewash station and safety showers are proximal to the workstation location. |
| Respiratory Protection | Where exposures are below the established exposure limit, no respiratory protection is required. Where exposures exceed the established exposure limit, use respiratory protection recommended for the material and level of exposure. |
| Eye Protection | Provide eye wash fountain and safety shower in close proximity to points of potential exposure. Wear eye/face protection such as chemical splash proof goggles or face shield. Prevent eye and skin contact. |
| Skin Protection | Prevent contamination of skin or clothing when removing protective equipment. Wear impermeable gloves and suitable protective clothing. |
| Additional Advice | Before eating, drinking, or smoking wash face and hands thoroughly with soap and water. Food, beverages, and tobacco products should not be carried, stored, or consumed where this material is in use. |

| Disposal Considerations | The information on RCRA waste classification and disposal methodology provided below applies only to the product, as supplied. If the material has been altered or contaminated, or it has exceeded its recommended shelf life, the guidance may be inapplicable. Hazardous waste classification under federal regulations (40 CFR Part 261 et seq) is dependent upon whether a material is RCRA ‘listed hazardous waste’ or has any of the four RCRA ‘hazardous waste characteristics.’ Refer to 40 CFR Part 261.33 to determine if a given material to be disposed of is a RCRA ‘listed hazardous waste’; information contained in Section 15 of this MSDS is not intended to indicate if the product is a ‘listed hazardous waste.’ RCRA Hazardous Waste Characteristics: There are four characteristics defined in 40 CFR Section 261.21-61.24: Ignitability, Corrosivity, Reactivity, and Toxicity. To determine Ignitability, see Section 9 of this MSDS (flash point). For Corrosivity, see Sections 9 and 14 (pH and DOT corrosivity). For Reactivity, see Section 10 (incompatible materials). For Toxicity, see Section 2 (composition). |
