Overview
Solid ferric polysulfate (PFS) is an inorganic polymer coagulant derived from ferric sulfate through polymerization. As an upgraded alternative to traditional aluminum salts, it features higher charge density and better turbidity removal efficiency. The solid form offers logistical advantages over liquid variants with 30-50% lower transportation costs. The compound has gained prominence in China's water treatment sector since the 1990s, now accounting for approximately 40% of municipal wastewater coagulant applications. Its polymeric structure enables bridging effects that enhance flocculation performance compared to monomeric iron salts.
Physical and Chemical Properties
The material typically appears as irregular granules with 90-95% active content. Its polymerization degree (m value) ranges between 10-30, giving variable molecular weights from 1,000-3,000 g/mol. The distinctive high-charge [Fe2(OH)n]3n+ cations enable effective charge neutralization for colloidal particles. Unlike aluminum-based coagulants, PFS maintains effectiveness across pH 4-10 ranges due to iron's stable hydrolysis products. It shows 20-30% faster sedimentation rates compared to ferric chloride. The solid form has superior shelf life (2+ years) when properly stored, though moisture absorption may cause caking over time.
Main Applications
In municipal wastewater treatment, PFS removes phosphorus (90%+ efficiency) and reduces COD by 50-70%. It's particularly effective for textile dye wastewater, achieving 90% color removal at 50-100 mg/L doses. Paper mills utilize it for sludge dewatering, reducing cake moisture content by 5-8% versus conventional coagulants. The drinking water industry prefers PFS for its low residual aluminum concerns. It effectively removes arsenic (to <10 μg/L) and fluorides while minimizing disinfection byproduct precursors. Emerging applications include soil remediation and photovoltaic wastewater treatment where iron's reducing properties prove beneficial.
Safety and Storage
As a Category III hazardous chemical in China, PFS requires proper handling to avoid dust inhalation and skin contact. Facilities should maintain relative humidity below 65% during storage to prevent deliquescence. Bulk storage silos need epoxy-coated interiors to resist corrosion from accidental moisture exposure. First aid measures include immediate flushing with water for eye contact (15+ minutes) and using 5% sodium bicarbonate solution for skin exposure. Spills should be contained with inert absorbents like vermiculite, never washed into drains due to potential pipe corrosion and environmental toxicity to aquatic life.
B2B Procurement Guide
Industrial buyers should prioritize suppliers with ISO 9001-certified production, as impurity control significantly impacts performance. Key specifications include: iron content (≥18.5%), insoluble matter (<1.5%), and heavy metals (As<0.0005%, Pb<0.001%). Bulk purchases (20+ tons) typically secure 5-10% discounts, with rail transport being most economical for 100+ ton orders. Consider regional suppliers for cost efficiency - major production bases cluster in Shandong, Jiangsu, and Sichuan provinces. Technical support should include jar testing protocols tailored to your wastewater characteristics.
