Are there any experts who have experience in storing ferrous sulfate?
Thread Content
We need to use a storage tank with a capacity of 20 cubic meters for ferrous sulfate solution. From what I’ve read online, this substance tends to oxidize easily. Are there any colleagues who have experience with this and know how to store it properly? Are there any special requirements regarding the storage tank?
Ferrous sulfate... Isn’t this a strong oxidizing agent? Should fiberglass be used?
I’m really not sure; I’ve never done it before, so I’m asking people around :(
Ferrous sulfate solution can be stored in 304 stainless steel, but care must be taken to prevent the intrusion of chloride ions. Organic materials such as PP can also be used. What do you use ferrous sulfate for?
For catalysts, several cubic meters are used per day; a 20-cubic-meter storage tank may suffer from oxidation if it is used for an extended period of time
Ferrous ions will inevitably oxidize; the key is to determine to what extent a low concentration of ferric ions is required. I have some experience in controlling the oxidation of ferrous ions.
If I apply a nitrogen blanket to the storage tank and place it in a cool location, will that help to inhibit the oxidation of ferrous sulfate?
It’s indeed a bit troublesome to perform nitrogen sealing; what method do you usually use for that?
