Functions

• Nutritional Supplement: Iron is an essential trace element for the human body, playing a crucial role in the formation of hemoglobin. Ferric pyrophosphate is mainly used as an iron – fortifying agent, which can effectively prevent iron – deficiency anemia. It can supplement the iron lost in modern refined foods and is of great significance for maintaining the normal physiological functions of the human body.
• Other Functions: It can also be used as a corrosion – resistant pigment, catalyst, and flame – retardant for synthetic fibers. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used to prepare iron – supplement drugs for the treatment of iron – deficiency anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis.

Applications

• Food Industry: It is used as an iron – fortifying agent in foods such as flour, biscuits, bread, milk powder, rice flour, and soy milk powder.

It can also be used as a raw material for some pharmaceutical preparations to improve the iron content of the drug and enhance the therapeutic effect.
• Other Industries: In the chemical industry, it is used as a catalyst for some chemical reactions. In the textile industry, it is used as a flame – retardant for synthetic fibers to improve the fire – resistance of fabrics. In addition, it can also be used as a corrosion – resistant pigment to improve the anti – corrosion performance of coatings.
