EDTA ferric sodium salt
1. Basic Information
Name: EDTA ferric sodium salt
Alias: Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid ferric sodium salt; Sodium iron EDTA
CAS No.: 15708-41-5
Molecular Formula: C10H12FeN2NaO8
Molecular Weight: 367.05
Category: Iron fortifier for food & feed, water treatment chelating agent, agricultural micronutrient fertilizer, industrial metal ion masking agent
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: Yellow crystalline powder
- Odor: Odorless
- Solubility: Freely soluble in water; slightly soluble in methanol; insoluble in ethanol, acetone, hydrocarbons
- Melting Point: Decomposes above 220 ℃
- Density (predicted): 1.58 g/cm3
- Hygroscopy: Slightly hygroscopic under high humidity
- Aqueous property: Weakly acidic aqueous solution, stable pH range 3–8; chelate structure will dissociate under strong acid or strong alkali heating
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: EDTA hexadentate ligand chelated with ferric ion, sodium as counterion, stable water-soluble iron complex
- Chelation performance: Firmly binds Fe3+ ion, prevents iron ion precipitation and oxidation in aqueous system
- Anti-oxidation feature: Chelated ferric ion is not easy to be oxidized or reduced, avoids catalytic discoloration caused by free iron
- Thermal stability: Stable below 100 ℃; high temperature over 180 ℃ decomposes to release EDTA and iron oxide
- Photostability: Moderate light resistance, long-term strong light will slightly fade yellow color
- Compatibility: Compatible with most food additives, pesticide liquid fertilizers, water treatment reagents; incompatible with concentrated strong acid, high-concentration sulfide
3. Main Application Fields
1. Food & Feed Iron Nutrition Fortifier (Core Application)
High bioavailability iron supplement for beverages, dairy, infant food, livestock and poultry feed; solves iron deficiency anemia
2. Agricultural Chelated Iron Fertilizer
Prevents plant iron chlorosis, absorbs easily by leaves and roots, used for fruit trees, vegetables, flowers
3. Industrial Water Treatment Agent
Masks iron ions, avoids pipeline scaling and solution discoloration in circulating water, printing and dyeing wastewater
4. Cosmetic & Detergent Auxiliary
Metal ion chelating stabilizer, inhibits oxidative deterioration of raw materials
