  1. 11.Character:  It’s blue-green crystals or granules, odorless with astringency. In dry air, it’s efflorescent. In moist air, it oxidizes readily to form a brown-yellow, basic ferric sulfate. It’s soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol. 
  2. 12. Usage: It has a role as a nutraceutical, an anti-anaemic agent and a reducing agent.
  3. 13. Packing: It is packed with polyethylene bag as inner layer, and a compound plastic woven bag as outer layer. The net weight of each bag is 25kg.

14 . Storage and Transport: It should be stored in a dry and ventilative warehouse, kept away from heat and moisture during transportation, unloaded with care so as to avoid damage. Furthermore, it must be stored separately from poisonous substances.
