How to prepare Compound syrup of Ferrous Phosphate?
- Take ingredients
The iron wire was taken in small pieces in a conical flask. Further half the quantity of phosphoric acid and 25 ml of water was added
- Heating
The solution was heated in a water bath most importantly till the iron dissolved.
- Trituration
After that, Calcium carbonate, potassium carbonate & Sodium Phosphate was triturated with remaining Phosphoric acid and 80 ml of purified water.
- Mixing and filtration
The solution of iron prepared in the first step was mixed with this slurry. After that, The mixture was filtered.
- Boiling
Cochineal was boiled with 375 ml of water for 15 min. In addition, sucrose was added. after that solution was again boiled for 15 min. Meanwhile, the solution was cooled, strained using a muslin cloth
- Mixing both solutions
The coloured syrup was combined with Iron and calcium solution obtained in stages 1 and 2. Similarly, orange flower water was added and volume adjusted with purified water
