PHARMA GRADE FERROUS SULPHATE HEPTAHYDRATE
[CODE NO.3884]
Ferrous Sulphate 'Copperas' Green Copperas, Green Vitriol; FeSO4. 7H2O is obtained as pale green crystals soluble in water. It is produced as a byproduct from waste pickling liquors of galvanizing and tin plates plants or by dissolving scrap iron in warm dilute sulphuric acid. In the bye product process the liquor is treated with scrap iron to reduce the free acid content, neutralized with alkali, filtered and concentrated in evaporators. Alternately, scrap iron and sulphuric acid are added at 180oF, to the liquor to raise the concentration to 430Be. The hot concentrated liquor is introduced into crystallizers and cooled to room temperature. Crystals of heptahydrate separate until the specific gravity falls to 260Be. The crystals are filtered, washed in a centrifuge, broken, screened and dried with warm air at 140oF in rotary drum, dryers. The mother liquor is returned to the neutralizing tank or further concentrated in evaporators. A slight excess of sulphuric acid is usually maintained in the crystals to prevent oxidation; surface oxidation may be counteracted by adding a small quantity of iron to the liquor during the heating and settling operations.
Ferrous Sulphate is also obtained as a bye product in the manufacture of titanium pigment and copper sulphate. For medicinal use, it is prepared by the action of dilute sulphuric acid on iron. Exsiccated Ferrous Sulphate used in therapy is a grayish white powder prepared by drying Ferrous Sulphate crystals at 40oC when a part of the water of crystallization is removed. It is slowly but almost completely soluble in freshly boiled cooled water.
