Name:
FERROUS SULFATE
CAS No.: 7720-78-7
Chemical Formula:
Description:
FeSO4 . 7H2O
NAS/CWTC 014-82
Formula Weight: 277.9
Pale, bluish-green crystals or granules. Ferrous salts
tend to oxidize in moist air and form brownish-colored
ferric salts. A 10% solution will have a pH of approxi-
mately 3.7. It is soluble in water and insoluble in
alcohol.
Use:
Used in coagulation.
Purity Requirements:
The RMIC values are based on a maximum dosage of 80 mg of
ferrous sulfate*/liter of water and are to be compared to
impurity concentrations obtained by using sample proce-
dures described in this monograph. If the actual dosage
is other than 80 mg/liter, the user is cautioned to
consult Table 2 for appropriate RMIC values.

Bulk Sample Collection:
Sample in accordance with Standard for Ferrous Sulfate,
AWWA B402-68, American Water Works Association, Denver,
Colorado (1968).
Analytical Sample Preparation:
In preparing samples, use acid-washed glassware and make
all dilutions with deionized distilled water. Weigh 0.8
g of ferrous sulfate (dry weight basis), dissolve, and
make up to 1 liter in a volumetric flask. Transfer the
solution to a 1.5-liter beaker, add 1 N of NaOH dropwise
with constant stirring to adjust to pH 6. Mix well, let
stand for 1 hour, and filter through a GF/C filter (or
equivalent) with vacuum. Quantitatively transfer fil-
trate into a beaker, adjust to pH 2 or less with concen-
trated HNO3, and evaporate on a hot plate, without
boiling, to reduce the volume to less than 1 liter.
Cool, quantitatively transfer to a 1-liter volumetric
flask, and make up to volume. Similarly treat a reagent
blank.
Sample Analyses:
The analyses are to be performed on the ferrous sulfate
solution in accordance with:
Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Waste-
water, 15th Edition, American Public Health Association,
Washington, D.C. (1981).
