Ferrous Sulfate Monohydrate is classified as an organic compound used as a source of iron. Ferrous sulfate monohydrate is commonly used as a treatment to iron-deficiency in both humans and animals. Ferrous sulfate is fairly non-toxic. It has a role as a nutraceutical, an anti-anaemic agent and a reducing agent.
Manufacturing process of ferrous sulfate monohydrate includes two major steps:
1. First is reacting a source of iron with an aqueous solution of sulphuric acid in at least a first reaction vessel, to obtain a process liquor comprising ferrous sulphate and acid solution
2. Second is combining the process liquor with concentrated sulphuric acid in a mixing vessel, causing the solution to self crystallize, thus forming a slurry comprising crystalline ferrous sulfate monohydrate. The slurry can be converted to ferric sulphate.
