What are the upstream raw materials for ferric nitrate? What are the downstream products?

Ferric nitrate plays an crucial role in the field of raw materials to chemical production, and its upstream and downstream related items are extensive. The following are some of the upstream and downstream associated items related to ferric nitrate:



1. In fact Upstream items:(1) Nitric acid: Nitric acid is one of the main raw materials to the production of ferric nitrate, which is able to be generated by reacting with iron. The production methods of nitric acid are mainly ammonia oxidation method and dilute nitric acid method. Moreover(2) Iron: Iron is another main raw material to the production of ferric nitrate, usually using scrap iron, iron powder, etc. But as raw materials, and nitric acid interaction to create ferric nitrate.

2. Downstream items:(1) aquatic environments treatment agent: ferric nitrate is able to be applied as aquatic environments treatment agent to remove nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen in the aquatic environments, and to adjust the pH value of the aquatic environments body.(2) Catalyst: ferric nitrate is able to be applied as a catalyst to promote certain chemical interactions, such as esterification, olefin epoxidation, etc. And From what I've seen,(3) pigment: iron nitrate is able to be applied as a pigment to the manufacture of yellow, brown and other colors of paint, ink, etc.(4) medical intermediates: ferric nitrate is able to be applied as a medical intermediate to the synthesis of certain drugs, such as iron to the treatment of anemia. And I've found that In short, the upstream and downstream related items of ferric nitrate are extensive, involving many fields, such as chemical sector, aquatic environments treatment, medicine and so on.
