The solubility specified here was measured in water. The solubility is influenced by many factors in the application.
This Iron Salt is particularly effective in treating iron deficiency and anemia, making it a preferred choice for both preventive and therapeutic applications.
Ferrous gluconate is an EU-approved source of iron for use in foods and food supplements. In addition, it is authorized as a food additive (E 579), where it is specifically permitted for the coloring of olives.
Thanks to its favorable taste profile and good solubility, ferrous gluconate is especially suitable for liquid applications, such as the fortification of juices, nutritional beverages, and sports drinks. It is also applied in solid formats, including nutritional powders and meal replacements.
In the supplement sector, ferrous gluconate is widely used various formats such as effervescent tablets, oral liquids, beside conventional tablets or capsules. Its versatility makes it one of the most common iron sources across both fortified foods and dietary supplements.
For industrial applications especially our Lohtragon® C73 is of interest acting as odor-inhibiting chelating agent for hydrogen sulfide. The environmental friendly production of biogas releases a substantial amount of hydrogen sulfide. This has not only an unpleasant odor, but has also toxic properties and is extremely corrosive in contact with water. The combustion product sulfur dioxide is equally aggressive and harmful to health. Therefore, hydrogen sulfide quickly has to be removed from all sources, including biogas, crude oil and natural gas. It can be added to slurries or suspension, too, whenever hydrogen sulfide occurs.
Lohtragon® C73 can be used as a micronutrient in fertilizers to provide essential iron for plant growth. By supplying iron, the Ferrous Gluconate based product helps in the synthesis of chlorophyll, which is vital for photosynthesis. This leads to healthier, greener plants with improved growth and yield. Plants with adequate iron levels are more resistant to diseases and environmental stress, leading to better overall plant health and productivity. Lohtragon® C73 can be applied directly to the soil, where it is absorbed by plant roots. Its chelated form ensures that the iron remains available in the soil solution for plant uptake. It can also be used in foliar sprays, where the solution is applied directly to the leaves. It is generally stable in neutral and light alkaline environments and simplifies the formulation of micronutrient mixtures.
By serving as an efficient reducing agent, Ferrous Gluconate enhances the quality and performance of electroplated products. The unique properties of our Lohtragon® C73, including its chelation stability, environmental safety, and effective reduction capability, make it a valuable component in electroplating processes. It can be used in iron electroplating baths. The gluconate ions help stabilize the iron ions in solution and prevent premature precipitation, ensuring a steady supply of iron for deposition. Lohtragon® C73 can also be part of complex electroplating baths where multiple metals are deposited. The presence of Ferrous Gluconate can help control the plating process and improve the quality of the metal layer.
