METHOD OF PRODUCTION OF THE FERRIC FORMIATE (II) Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC C07C53/06 C07F15/02 

FIELD: chemical industry; methods of production of the salts of iron and the organic acids.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is pertaining to the field of chemical industry, in particular, to the method of production of the salts of iron and the organic acids, in particular, to production of the salt of the ferrous iron and the formic acid. The method is realized by the direct interaction of the acid with the iron, its alloys and the ferric oxides. The crumber with the beads and the backflow condenser is loaded with the organic solvent, the formic acid and the water in the mass ratio of 100:(85÷100): (15÷0). As the organic solvent they use ethylcellosolve, butyl acetate, butyl and amyl alcohols, ethylene glycol. The mass ratio of the beads and the liquid phase is 1:1. Ferric oxide_{Fe2O3 orFe3O4 and the iodine are loaded in the amount of 0.40-0.56 or 0/21-0.42 and 0.03-0.1 mole/kg of the liquid phase accordingly. The iron is introduced in the form of the steel shell along the whole height of the reactor and additionally in form of the reduced iron, the fractions of the broken cast iron with dimensions of up to 5 mm and the steel chips in any ratio among themselves at total amount of 20 % from the mass of the liquid phase. The process is conducted at the temperature of 35-55°С practically till the complete consumption of the ferric oxide. The gained suspension is separated from the beads and the metal particles of the greater dimensions and subjected to centrifuging or sedimentation. The clarified liquid phase is returned to the repeated process, and the solid phase is dissolved at stirring action and warming up to 85-95°С in the water solution of the formic acid saturated by the ferric formiate (II) up to 1-2 mole/kg. The present solid impurities are removed at the hot filtration process and the filtrate is cooled and the salt crystals are separated. The technical result of the invention is simplification of the technology of the production process with utilization of the accessible raw.}

EFFECT: the invention ensures simplification of the technology of the production process with utilization of the accessible raw.
