The first time I actually saw Ferric Chloride used in an industrial application was in a wastewater treatment system! I asked what it was used for and they told me that it was used to precipitate out other chemicals (if I remember correctly). I was also supprised that the ferric chloride was stored/used in a very large open topped poly tank. Closer to topic.... I too am wanting to try regenerating some of my used ferric chloride using the iron nail - Power supply method. Is there any way to know when to stop the plating process or is this simply trial and error at this point????
