Preparation of Ferric Citrate.

1, citric acid is added to the iron hydroxide solution, heated to below 60 ℃, evaporated and concentrated to slurry, and obtained by low-temperature drying on a glass plate. 

2, add ammonia to iron sulfate solution to produce iron hydroxide precipitation. Filter and wash with water until there is no reaction of sulphuric acid. Add citric acid and heat to below 60℃ with stirring to dissolve all the precipitate, then filter. Concentrate the filtrate into syrupy form by heating below 60℃, coat it into a thin layer on a glass plate, form small leaves, peel it off, slightly warm and dry it.
