Application

Ferric phosphate serves multiple purposes owing to its composition and properties. As a yellowish-white to buff-colored, odorless powder, ferric phosphate acts primarily as an important additive in fertilizers, animal feed, and food products. Its chemical structure comprises iron (III) ions as the counterion within an inorganic phosphate, ensuring essential mineral supplementation where needed. Due to its insolubility in water and acetic acid, but solubility in mineral acids, its applications are carefully tailored to environments that maximize its reactivity and versatility. Typically prepared by reacting sodium phosphate with ferric chloride or ferric citrate, it often contains varying amounts of water molecules, influencing its hydration level and utility in different uses.
