Chemical Formula C₁₀H₁₂FeN₂NaO₈

Molecular Weight 367.04 g/mol

EDTA ferric sodium is a chelated form of iron used primarily in agriculture to prevent and correct iron deficiencies in plants. It ensures efficient iron uptake, especially in alkaline soils. Commonly included in fertilizers and foliar sprays, it supports healthy plant growth and chlorophyll production.

Industrial Uses

1. Agrochemicals

  • Iron Micronutrient in Fertilizers: Widely used in foliar sprays and fertigation to correct iron deficiency (chlorosis) in plants, especially in alkaline and calcareous soils where free iron is unavailable to plants.
  • Chelated Iron Source in Hydroponics: Provides stable, soluble iron in hydroponic and soilless growing systems, ensuring continuous nutrient uptake without precipitation.

2. Food & Healthcare Ingredients

  • Food Fortification Agent: Approved as a food additive, used to fortify cereals, beverages, and flours with iron to combat anemia and iron deficiency, especially in developing countries.
  • Stabilizer in Iron-Rich Supplements: Maintains bioavailability and solubility of iron in syrups, capsules, and tablets without causing metallic taste or oxidation of other nutrients.

3. Pharmaceuticals

  • Treatment for Iron Deficiency: Used in iron supplements as a gentle and bioavailable source of iron that causes less gastrointestinal irritation compared to other iron salts.
  • Iron Source in Parenteral Nutrition: Occasionally used in formulations for intravenous nutrient support when soluble, low-toxicity iron is required.

4. Animal Healthcare

  • Mineral Fortifier in Livestock Feed: Added to poultry, cattle, and aquaculture feed to provide essential iron, improving hemoglobin levels, immunity, and growth in animals.
  • Chelating Agent for Other Mineral: Prevents negative interactions between minerals (like phosphorus and zinc) by maintaining their solubility and uptake in the gut.

5. Personal Care 

  • Stabilizer in Formulation : Prevents metal-catalyzed oxidation of active ingredients (like vitamin C or plant extracts) by chelating trace metals in creams, serums, and gels.
  • Colorant or Iron Source in Topicals: Sometimes used in formulations where a controlled iron release or color tone is desired, particularly in anti-aging and revitalizing products.

6.  Water Treatment

  • Oxygen Scavenger & Corrosion Inhibitor: Ferric EDTA can act as a corrosion inhibitor in closed-loop water systems by sequestering ions that catalyze oxidation and metal corrosion.
  • Metal Complexing Agent: In effluent treatment, it binds with free iron or other metal ions to reduce metal toxicity and comply with discharge regulations.
