PREPARATION OF HIGH PURITY ANHYDROUS FERROUS CHLORIDE
Abstract:
Several methods for preparing high purity anhydrous ferrous chloride were investigated. The technique finally developed involved the high temperature chlorination of iron sponge with anhydrous hydrogen chloride and collection of the sublimed ferrous chloride in a condenser held at such a temperature that ferric chloride did not condense. Ferric iron was undetectable in the final product and other impurities were well below the specified limits. Over 3 kilograms of high purity anhydrous ferrous chloride were pre pared by this technique.
