Main Uses:

Description:Green to brown,scale, granular or powder, odorless or slightly  ammonia smell.

1. Food industry:
A. Nutritional supplements: Ammonium iron citrate, as a good source of iron, is often added to grain products, infant formula and other foods to prevent iron deficiency anemia, especially for children and pregnant women. Moderate supplementation of iron is particularly important for health.
B. Antioxidants: In some food processing processes, ammonium iron citrate can also be used as an antioxidant to help prevent food oxidation and spoilage, and extend the shelf life of food.

2. Chemical industry:
A. Catalyst: Ammonium iron citrate can be used as a catalyst in certain chemical reactions to promote reaction rate, improve product selectivity and yield. For example, when synthesizing specific types of polymers or fine chemicals, it may serve as one of the effective catalysts.
B. Reducing agent: Under specific conditions, ammonium iron citrate can also act as a mild reducing agent for the reduction treatment of metal ions or other chemical conversion processes.

3. Pharmaceutical industry:
A. Treatment of iron deficiency anemia: Ammonium iron citrate is used to prepare drugs for treating iron deficiency anemia due to its high bioavailability, especially when patients cannot tolerate other forms of iron supplements.
B. Adjuvant therapy: In some cases, ferric ammonium citrate is also used to assist in the treatment of anemia symptoms in patients with chronic diseases, such as kidney disease.
C. Other applications:

4. Agriculture: Ammonium iron citrate is sometimes used for soil improvement to provide the iron elements needed by plants, especially in alkaline soil conditions, which can effectively improve the problem of poor iron absorption in plants.

5. Environmental engineering: In the process of sewage treatment, ammonium iron citrate can be used to remove heavy metal ions from water and improve water quality safety.
