METHOD FOR PREPARING FERROUS (II) ACETATE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: chemical technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method for preparing acetic acid salts, in particular, anhydrous ferrous (II) acetate. Method for preparing anhydrous ferrous (II) acetate involves interaction of metallic iron with acetic acid in the presence of oxidizing agents of ferric oxide Fe₂O₃ or Fe₃O₄ and molecular iodine in the mole ratio acetic acid : acetic anhydride : iron oxide = 100:(6-20):(2-2.5), respectively, and in the mole ratio iron oxide : iodine = 100:6.3. The process is carried out at temperature 80°C in the beaded mill of vertical type with high-rotation blade mixer and reflux condenser in the mass ratio of glass beads and liquid phase in the charge = 1:1. The process is carried out with periodic taking off samples of the end product solid phase by filtering and the following recover filtrate and feeding with acetic acid and iron oxide. For compensation of components loss of liquid phase in filtering there are recovered into reactor to the repeated process that is carried out for four times at a time. All procedures of the basic process and filtration are carried out in nitrogen medium. Preferably, method involves using hematite, γ-oxide, iron minium, magnetite or Fe₃O₄ x 4 H₂O as the iron oxide source. Invention provides possibility for preparing anhydrous ferrous (II) acetate and simplifying method due to excluding the evaporation stage in isolation of salt.

EFFECT: improved preparing method.
