General information on iron (III) sulfate solid A.1 Origin A.1.1 Raw materials The product is manufactured from sulfuric acid, iron (II) sulfate and oxygen. A.1.2 Manufacturing process Iron (III) sulfate solid is produced by dissolving iron (II) sulfate in sulfuric acid with oxygen as oxidant at elevated temperature followed by granulation or as powder produced by atomized drier of liquid iron (III) sulfate. A.2 Quality of commercial product The three types of iron (III) sulfate solid specified in Table 2 reflect the quality of commercially available products. Figures A.1 to A.3 show the maximum concentrations of trace metals that would be added to the raw water by the addition of products corresponding to the purity levels specified in Table 2. It can be seen that the concentrations of metal added are well below the Parametric Values given in the EU Directive 98/83/EC (see [1]) at typical product doses. Furthermore, the figures overstate the concentration of metals that would be present in the treated water since a substantial proportion of the trace metals will be incorporated in the sludge. Users of this product should select an appropriate grade an Type to enable them to achieve treated water quality targets taking into account raw water characteristics, required dosage, process plant conditions and other relevant factors.

General rules relating to safety B.1 Rules for safe handling and use The supplier shall provide current safety instructions. B.2 Emergency procedures B.2.1 First aid In case of contact with skin, wash with plenty of water. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. If swallowed, provided patient is conscious, wash out the mouth with water and mass fraction of 5 % sodium bicarbonate solution and give a demulcent such as milk. Seek medical advice immediately
B.2.2 Spillage Small spillage: wash away with large quantities of water. Large spillage: neutralize with lime or soda ash, then dispose of according to local regulations. Water can be used if washings can go to drain. Immediately inform police and local authorities if product has entered public drains or waterways. B.2.3 Fire Product is not combustible. However, in contact with metals, iron (III) sulfate can liberate the flammable gas hydrogen.
Analytical methods C.1 Determination of iron (III) sulfate C.1.1 Total iron C.1.1.1 General This method applies to products with iron contents greater than a mass fraction of 0,4 %. C.1.1.2 Principle Iron is reduced by tin (II) chloride and is subsequently titrated with potassium dichromate solution. C.1.1.3 Reagents All reagents shall be of a recognized analytical grade and the water used shall conform to the grade 3 specified in EN ISO 3696. C.1.1.3.1 Hydrochloric acid, HCl concentrated, density ρ = 1,19 g/ml. C.1.1.3.2 Tin (II) chloride solution, c(SnCl2.2H2O) = 0,5 mol/l. Dissolve 22,6 g of SnCl2 .2H2O with 20 ml of hydrochloric acid (C.1.1.3.1) and dilute with water to 200 ml. Keep this solution in the dark. C.1.1.3.3 Mercury (II) chloride, saturated solution c(HgCl2) = 0,27 mol/l. C.1.1.3.4 Sulfuric acid, H2SO4 concentrated, density ρ = 1,84 g/ml. C.1.1.3.5 Phosphoric acid, H3PO4 concentrated, density ρ = 1,71 g/ml. C.1.1.3.6 Barium diphenylamine sulfonate solution, c(Ba(C6H5-NH-C6H4SO3)2) = 8 mmol/l. C.1.1.3.7 Potassium dichromate solution, c(K2Cr2O7) = 0,0166 mol/l. C.1.1.4 Apparatus Ordinary laboratory apparatus and glassware. C.1.1.5 Procedure C.1.1.5.1 Test solution Weigh about, to the nearest 0,1 mg, 7 g of the laboratory sample and dissolve in 150 ml water. Remove insoluble matters by filtering. Wash the filter cake with hot water. Transfer filtrate and wash water to a 200 ml volumetric flask, dilute to the mark with water.
%, is given by the following equation : mVC113,1×=(II) where V is the volume, in millilitres, of potassium dichromate required for the titration; m is the mass, in grams, of the sample used for the test solution. C.1.3 Determination of iron (III) ( Fe (III)) The iron (III) content, C(III) expressed in mass fraction in %, is given by the following equation: (II)(III)CCCtot−= where Ctot is the total iron content (C.1.1.5.3), expressed as mass fraction; C(II) is the iron (II) content (C.1.2.5.3), expressed as mass fraction. C.2 Determination of manganese C.2.1 General This method is applicable to iron salts or iron solutions with manganese content greater than mass fraction of 0,05 %. SIST EN 14664:2005
