General information on iron (III) sulfate solid A.1 Origin A.1.1 Raw materials The product is manufactured from sulfuric acid, iron (II) sulfate and oxygen. A.1.2 Manufacturing process Iron (III) sulfate solid is produced by dissolving iron (II) sulfate in sulfuric acid with oxygen as oxidant at elevated temperature followed by granulation or as powder produced by atomized drier of liquid iron (III) sulfate. A.2 Quality of commercial product The three types of iron (III) sulfate solid specified in Table 2 reflect the quality of commercially available products. Figures A.1 to A.3 show the maximum concentrations of trace metals that would be added to the raw water by the addition of products corresponding to the purity levels specified in Table 2. It can be seen that the concentrations of metal added are well below the Parametric Values given in the EU Directive 98/83/EC (see [1]) at typical product doses. Furthermore, the figures overstate the concentration of metals that would be present in the treated water since a substantial proportion of the trace metals will be incorporated in the sludge. Users of this product should select an appropriate grade an Type to enable them to achieve treated water quality targets taking into account raw water characteristics, required dosage, process plant conditions and other relevant factors.

A.3.3 Treatment dose The treatment dose is variable depending on raw water quality and corresponds to a treatment dose between 4 g/m3 and 10 g/m3 expressed as Fe. A.3.4 Means of application Product can be dosed continuously from a silo by a dry feeder into a solution tank for continuously overflowing into the raw water. To promote a rapid dispersion a high turbulence at the point of addition is desirable. Iron (III) sulfate solution is acidic and equipments in contact with the solution therefore should be made of corrosion resistant materials (stainless, plastics, rubber, lead etc). A.3.5 Secondary effects Increase of the sulfate content. Reduction of alkalinity and pH value. A.3.6 Removal of excess product The coagulation process includes the hydrolysis of the ferric ions to ferric hydroxide. This precipitate is removed by sedimentation, flotation and/or finally filtration.

C.2 Determination of manganese C.2.1 General This method is applicable to iron salts or iron solutions with manganese content greater than mass fraction of 0,05 %. SIST EN 14664:2005



EN 14664:2004 (E) 22 C.2.2 Principle Iron salts are diluted in water. Manganese is determined in this diluted solution by direct injection of the solution into the flame of an atomic absorption spectrometer. Manganese is converted to the atomic state by thermal dissociation. The absorption of the atoms is measured in the light path of the FAAS at a wavelength specific to the element. The concentrations are calculated by means of a calibration curve. C.2.3 Reagents All reagents shall be a recognized analytical grade, water shall conform to the Grade 3 specified in EN ISO 3696 and ultra pure grade acid shall be used. C.2.3.1 Hydrochloric acid (HCl), solution of mass fraction 30 %. C.2.3.2 Manganese, standard stock solution, c0 (Mn) = 1 g/l. C.2.3.3 Manganese, intermediate standard solution, c1 (Mn) = 100 mg/l : Pipette 10 ml of standard stock solution (C.2.3.2) into a 100 ml volumetric flask (C.2.4.1), add 3 ml of hydrochloric acid (C.2.3.1) and dilute to the mark with water. C.2.3.4 Manganese, standard solution, c2 (Mn) = 0,5 mg/l : Pipette 0,5 ml of intermediate standard solution (C.2.3.3) into a 100 ml volumetric flask (C.2.4.1) and dilute to the mark with water . C.2.3.5 Manganese, standard solution, c3 (Mn) = 1 mg/l : Pipette 1 ml of intermediate standard solution (C.2.3.3) into a 100 ml volumetric flask (C.2.4.1) and dilute to the mark with water .
