Coagulants and flocculants are essential water treatment chemicals that remove suspended particles and clarify water. Coagulants (like alum or ferric chloride) neutralize particle charges, causing small clumps to form, while flocculants (such as polyacrylamide) bind these clumps into larger, settleable flocs. This process is widely used in drinking water treatment, wastewater plants, and industrial systems to improve filtration and reduce turbidity. Their efficient use ensures cleaner, safer water by effectively removing contaminants.

Ferric Ammonium Citrate

Ferric Ammonium Citrate is a dark green to black crystalline or granular inorganic compound composed of iron, ammonium ions, and citrate ions. It is a complex salt of citric acid with ferric iron (Fe³⁺) and ammonium. This compound is highly soluble in water, forming a greenish solution, and is widely utilized as a source of iron in various chemical, pharmaceutical, photographic, and food applications. It acts as a mild oxidizing agent and an iron supplement, valued for its bioavailability and ease of incorporation into formulations. Ferric Ammonium Citrate is typically available in different formulations distinguished by their water and ammonium content, such as green and brown types.
