- Product Description
Iron(III) Nitrate Nonahydrate (CAS 7782-61-8) - High-Purity Grade for Industrial Catalysts, Fertilizers & Metal Treatment
Iron(III) nitrate nonahydrate is a versatile purple crystalline compound widely used in catalyst synthesis, water-soluble fertilizers, and eco-friendly metal surface treatments. At Yunli Chemical, we specialize in producing high-purity grades (≥99.5%) tailored to meet stringent industrial requirements, from ultra-low iron impurities (<30ppm) to customizable pH levels. With 18+ years of expertise in nitrate refinement and a commitment to sustainable production, we empower industries to achieve cost-efficiency, compliance, and performance excellence.

Core Applications: Solving Industry-Specific Challenges
1. Catalyst Production
- Problem: Traditional suppliers struggle with inconsistent impurity levels (Fe/Na), leading to unstable catalytic activity.
- Our Solution: Ultra-low Fe (<30ppm) and Na (<50ppm) grades ensure reproducibility in methanol/hydrogenation catalysts. Liquid-phase feeds eliminate solid dissolution steps, cutting energy costs by 40%.
2. Fertilizer Additives
- Problem: Micronutrient blends often cake in humid climates, reducing field efficacy.
- Our Solution: Humidity-resistant granules dissolve >99.5% in water, delivering bioavailable Fe³⁺ for citrus and grape crops. Bundle with Zn/Mn nitrates for one-stop sourcing.
3. Metal Surface Treatment
- Problem: Transitioning to trivalent chromium plating requires wastewater management.
- Our Solution: Low-chloride (<100ppm) formulations paired with waste-to-resource kits convert effluents into sodium nitrate byproducts.
4. Pharmaceutical Synthesis
- Problem: High costs from imported high-purity nitrates delay drug development.
- Our Solution: USP-grade Fe(NO3)3·9H2O with As/Pb ≤2ppm, produced via proprietary low-iron tech, undercuts monopolies by 25%.
