Iron salts

Iron salts are compounds formed when iron combines with a non-metal, often found in various forms such as sulfates, chlorides, or nitrates. They are typically used in diverse applications, including water treatment, as fertilizers in agriculture, and in chemical manufacturing. Iron salts are important in the human diet as well, as they provide essential iron needed for red blood cell production and overall health. When dissolved in water, some iron salts can impart a reddish color, which is often seen in rust or certain mineral springs.
