6. It can be used in bacterial culture medium for measuring aluminum, photography, blue print, blood and so on.
7. The brown product can be used as a hematinic drug for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia; it can be used as food additives; according to the provision of Japanese, "Food Additives", iron content: 16.5%-21.2%. The brown product and green product are both chemical-sensitive substances with the green goods being more sensitive to light than brown goods. Paper coated with green ferric ammonium citrate and red blood salt (potassium ferricyanide) is called blue blueprint paper. Upon the exposure, the trivalent iron in the citric acid salt is converted to bivalent, coming across water to give turnbull's blue, so the lightened part exhibits blue color while the rest part is still white, yielding a blue matrix white line pattern.
Production method
The ferric hydroxide is dissolved in citric acid, neutralized with ammonia solution, followed by drying to obtain it. (1) Preparation of ferric hydroxide Ferrous sulfate was added to the water, and sulfuric acid was slowly added thereto under stirring, followed by addition of an aqueous sodium chlorate solution. Then stir vigorously and raise the temperature to above 80 ℃; further add sodium chlorate. Stir until the reaction is terminated (no further ferrous reaction through ferricyanide test) to obtain the ferric sulfate solution. Add this solution to the reaction tank, add sodium hydroxide solution and stir vigorously with the reaction temperature of 80-90 °; when the reaction solution turns from viscous to thin, add water for washing until the sulfate and chlorine meet the requirements. Dry to get the iron hydroxide. (2) Preparation of ferric ammonium citrate; add citrate, ferric hydroxide and water into the reaction tank, stir and control the temperature at 95 ℃ above and maintain the temperature for 1h. And then cooled to 50?C and sent into ammonia under stirring. Stand for more than 48h. The supernatant was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated to a paste and dried at 80 ° C to obtain ferric ammonium citrate. The total yield of ferrous sulfate is 73-75%.
The same procedure as in preparation method 2 of brown ferric ammonium citrate.
Adding ammonium hydroxide to the ferric sulfate to generate ferrous hydroxide precipitate; filter and wash with water to no sulfate reaction anymore; then add citrate and heat to 60?C to completely dissolve the precipitate; neutralize with ammonia hydroxide and concentrate to a syrupy state, and coat on a glass plate, and dry to obtain a small sheet product.
Fe2 (SO4) 3 + 6NH3 + 6H2O → 3 (NH4) 2SO4 + 2Fe (OH) 3 ↓
2C6H8O7 + 3NH4OH + Fe (OH) 3 → (C6H5O7) 2Fe (NH4) 3 + 6H2O
It can also taken of ferrous sulfate as raw materials. 28g FeSO4 • 7H2O was dissolved in 4 mL water; add 3 mL 98% concentrated sulfuric acid and then drop 5mL 36% hydrogen peroxide; heat to 83 ℃ and stir for 0.5h; the blue color upon potassium ferricyanide test can tell the termination of the reaction; further add 100 mL distilled water, and 40% NaOH was added at 80 ° C with stirring to make the solution be alkaline. The precipitate was suction filtered and washed with hot water until no sulfate was present any more. The prepared Fe (OH) 3 was added to a citric acid solution (14 g/100 mL water) and stirred at 95 ° C for 1 h. The solution was then cooled to 50 ° C and an appropriate amount of aqueous ammonia was added. The solution was cooled to room temperature. Evaporate the supernatant to a paste with drying at 60~80 ° C to obtain the product with a yield of 91%.
A considerable amount of citric acid solution was added to ferric hydroxide produced from reaction between the ferric sulfate and aqueous ammonia; the concentrated slurry was coated on a glass plate, dried, and then peeled off from the glass plate.
Ferric hydroxide is dissolved in citric acid, with neutralization with ammonia hydroxide and evaporation at 60 ° C to obtain.

Description
Ammonium ferric citrate is a food additive with E number E381 used as an acidity regulator. It is a green or reddish-brown powder which is very soluble in water.
The molecular formula of ammonium iron (III) citrate is variable. It can be prepared by adding Fe(OH)3 to an aqueous solution of citric acid and ammonia . The brown form is approximately 9% NH3, 16.5 – 18.5 % Fe , and 65 % hydrated citric acid; the green form is approximately 7.5 % NH3 , 14.5 – 16 % Fe, and 75% hydrated citric acid. The green type is more readily reduced by light than the brown.
Other uses for ammonium ferric citrate include water purification and printing (cyano type). It is used as a reducing agent of metal salts of low activity like gold and silver and is also in a commonly used recipe with potassium ferricyanide to make cyanotype prints. Ammonium ferric citrate is also used in Kligler iron deeps to determine hydrogen sulfide production in microbial metabolism.
In medicine, ammonium ferric citrate is used as a contrast medium. It is also used as a hematinic.
Chemical Properties
Ferric ammonium citrate forms reddish brown flakes or grains, or a brownish-yellow powder. It has a slight ammonia odor. There is also a green form that is odorless.
Chemical Properties

Air & Water Reactions
Water soluble.
Reactivity Profile
Acidic salts, such as Ammonium ferric citrate, are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydrogen ions and have pH's of less than 7.0. They react as acids to neutralize bases. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of inorganic acids, inorganic oxoacids, and carboxylic acid. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible. Many of these compounds catalyze organic reactions. Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic oxides of nitrogen or ammonia gas may be formed in fires [USCG, 1999].
Health Hazard
Inhalation of dust irritates nose and throat. Ingestion causes irritation of mouth and stomach. Dust irritates eyes and causes mild irritation of skin on prolonged contact.
