A method of producing an iron-arsenic compound by adding an oxidizing agent to an aqueous solution containing arsenic ions and bivalent iron ions and allowing an iron-arsenic compound precipitation reaction to proceed under stirring of the solution, wherein the precipitation reaction is terminated at a solution pH in the range of 0 to 1. When the arsenic concentration of the pre-reaction solution is 25 g/L or greater, the reaction can be terminated at a solution pH in the range of -0.45 to 1.2. The pH of the pre-reaction solution is preferably greater than 0 and not greater than 2.0. A ferrous sulfate is can be used as the source of the bivalent iron ions. Even when some amount of impurity elements is present in the arsenic-containing solution, the method is nevertheless capable of forming a scorodite compound excellent in crystallinity in the form of a compact compound barely swollen by moisture and the like, i.e., a niron-arsenic compound excellent in filterability.
