fecl2 cracking from aqua solution
« on: July 28, 2014, 04:12:05 AM »
I need to separate fecl2 from aqua solution in any form liquid or solid. Is there any catalyst or chemical agent available that can apart fecl2 from water??
please suggest...

Evaporate the water?

Ok do you need the FeCl2 for future aplication? Or do you just want to get rid of it? If the latter then you can precipitate if by adding solution of amonia and then filter it

If your goal is to isolate anhydrous FeCl2 from aqueous solution, then you're out of luck.
It is not possible to dehydrate any iron chloride - especially from a solution.
 If buying is not an option, then the only (practical) way to make it is from dry chlorine or dry HCl - neither are options for a beginner.
If you heat a solution of iron (II) or (III) chloride it will decompose to HCl and iron oxide/hydroxide.

okk then what about this,
fecl2+H2SO4= Feso4+ Hcl
what are the conditions for this reaction??

This will also not work, because you need the water away first. Otherwise you have then iron, chloride ,sulfate in your water. The whole thing is acid.
Additionally iron-II will be oxidized to iron-III  by the oxygen from air.

If you want to get the the iron away a ion exchanger would work fine.

Or if you're just trying to extract the iron, you could precipitate it's hydroxide by neutralizing with ammonia or other OH source.

But in this case iron is exchanged to ammonium. I think this is even more worse.
Ion exchange or reversed osmosis is the only wy to make pure water.  The evaporation was already mentioned.

thanx buddies for your replies, but in case of sulphate i read somewhere that at low temperature it's solubility decreases and forms crystals. is it true??

Every salt will form crystalls by lowering temperture.

Most salts, not every salt. For example solubilities of cerium sulfate and calcium acetate decrease with temperature.
