About this document

Simple Synthesis of Ferric EDTA by Mostafa Fawzy is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document describes a simple method for synthesizing ferric ethylenediaminetetraacetate (FeEDTA) in a pure and stable form. The basic method involves autoclaving EDTA with an equimolar amount of Fe(OH)3 or half-equimolar amount of Fe2O3 and water. The mixture is then filtered and lyophilized, producing a green powder of FeEDTA. A batch produced using this method was stored for over 5 years and provided Fe for growing various algae and bacteria. The synthesized FeEDTA is readily soluble, stable for at le
