réactif du fer
French to English
Tech/Engineering
Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng
Context is elimination of subcutaneous iron deposits forming part of dark circles under the eyes. Term occurs in the text: Le fer complexe très facilement avec un « réctif du fer » : le ferrospectral. Mélangés ensemble, fer et ferrospectral forment un complexe de couleur violette.
My suggested translation: Iron complexes very easily with an "iron grinder": ferrospectral. Mixed together, iron and ferrospectral form a purple-colored complex.
The word "réctif" seems to be a colloquial abbreviation appearing in a number of contexts. Here the term seems to imply that the "réctif du fer" induces (forces) the iron to complex. Any enlightenment as to an English equivalent would be much appreciated.
