Overview of Ferric Alum Dodecahydrate

Ferric Alum Dodecahydrate is an important inorganic double salt widely used in water treatment, wastewater management, paper processing, and industrial chemical applications. Chemically, it is known as iron(III) ammonium sulphate dodecahydrate, with the general formula NH₄Fe(SO₄)₂·12H₂O. It belongs to the alum family and is valued for its coagulating and clarifying properties.

From a material perspective, Ferric Alum Dodecahydrate appears as violet to pale brown crystalline solids that are readily soluble in water. The presence of twelve water molecules of crystallisation provides stability and ease of dissolution, making it highly effective in aqueous industrial systems. Its iron content enhances floc formation, making it particularly effective compared to aluminium-based alums in certain applications.
