Ammonium Ferric Citrate has proven to be quintessential in the medical industry as a reliable antiseptic as well as a water disinfectant
Ammonium ferric citrate is a synthetic chemical compound that is commonly used in the production of rubber and other industrial products. In its purest form, it is known as ferric oxide which is a highly reactive compound capable of destroying most organic compounds by releasing oxygen. However, its non-reactive form (monochlorobenzene) is highly useful for applications requiring limited amounts of heat to destroy microorganisms. The commercial use of ammonium ferric citrate is an oxidizing agent. It is usually added during or after the addition of bleach to kill microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. Ammonium ferric citrate has been developed into a reliable antiseptic for disinfecting water supplies and it has also been found to be effective in treating sewage. A few percent concentration can successfully overcome many waterborne diseases. Ammonium ferric citrate should only be used in very specific applications due to its corrosive properties. For instance, it is not reco
