Coagulation with Ferric Chloride
According to this Wikipedia article:  


  Iron(III) chloride is used in sewage treatment and drinking water production.$\mathrm{^{[1]}}$ In this application, $\ce{FeCl3}$ in slightly basic water reacts with the hydroxide ion to form a floc of iron(III) hydroxide, or more precisely formulated as $\ce{FeO(OH)−}$, that can remove suspended materials:  
  
  $$\ce{[Fe(H2O)6]^3+ + 4 HO− → [Fe(H2O)2(HO)4]− + 4 H2O → [Fe(H2O)O(HO)2]− + 6 H2O}$$
