FIELD : production of salts of organic acids, salt of ferrous iron and formic acid in particular.SUBSTANCE : proposed method consists in loading preliminarily prepared aqueous solution of formic acid at concentration of 4.5-10 mole/kg into reactor provided with bladed mixer, back-flow condenser-cooler and air bubbler. Then, powder of reduced iron and/or broken iron and/or steel chips at any mass ratio in total amount of 20.0-30.6% of mass of liquid phase and stimulating iodine additive in the amount of 0.016-0.164 mole/kg of liquid phase are introduced. Reactor may be provided with steel or cast iron ferrule over entire height. At mechanical mixing, consumption of air for bubbling is maintained between 1.2 and 2.0 l/(min·kg of liquid phase). Working temperature range is 45-65°C which is maintained by external cooling. Process is discontinued when content of iron salts (II) in reaction mixture reaches 1.8-2.0 mole/kg. Suspension of salt in liquid phase is separated from unreacted iron particles and is filtered afterwards. Filtrate is directed for repeated process and salt sediment is re-crystallized from aqueous solution saturated with iron formate by formic acid at concentration of 1-2 mole/kg at heating to temperature of 95°C followed by natural cooling.EFFECT : enhanced efficiency.1 tbl, 9 ex
