Abstract

An aqueous solution containing divalent iron ions having improved storage stability such that the oxidation over time of divalent iron ions in the aqueous solution containing divalent iron ions to trivalent iron ions is suppressed and the occurrence of the precipitation of iron (III) hydroxide is prevented for long periods. The aqueous solution contains divalent iron ions having improved storage stability characterized in that it contains divalent iron ions and a hydroxylamine salt as a reducing agent and has a pH of 3.0 or lower. The pH is preferably 2.2 or lower and more preferably 1.2 or lower.

Claims (8)

1. An aqueous solution containing divalent iron ions, having a pH of 3.0 or lower and consisting of a divalent iron ion source compound, a hydroxylamine salt as a reducing agent, a pH adjusting agent and water.

2. The aqueous solution containing divalent iron ions according to claim 1 , wherein the pH is 2.2 or lower.

3. The aqueous solution containing divalent iron ions according to claim 1 , wherein the pH is 1.2 or lower.

4. The aqueous solution containing divalent iron ions according to claim 1 , wherein a concentration of the divalent iron ions is 10 to 850 mmol/L and a concentration of the hydroxylamine salt is 1/100 or more as a molar ratio to that of the divalent iron ions.

5. An aqueous solution containing divalent iron ions, having a pH of 3.0 or lower and consisting of a divalent iron ion source compound, a hydroxylamine salt as a reducing agent, a pH adjusting agent, a complexing agent and water.

6. The aqueous solution containing divalent iron ions according to claim 5 , wherein the pH is 2.2 or lower.

7. The aqueous solution containing divalent iron ions according to claim 5 , wherein the pH is 1.2 or lower.

8. The aqueous solution containing divalent iron ions according to claim 5 , wherein a concentration of the divalent iron ions is 10 to 850 mmol/L and a concentration of the hydroxylamine salt is 1/100 or more as a molar ratio to that of the divalent iron ions.
