As an important chemical raw material, the development history of ferrous sulfate industry can be traced back to the early 19th century. With the changes and demands of the times, the demand for ferrous sulfate in modern life is increasing, and it is indispensable in feed, fertilizer, and industry. So what is the use of ferrous sulfate?
Ferrous sulfate (FeSO4) is mainly classified according to the amount and state of its crystal water. Ferrous sulfate heptahydrate (Ferrous Sulfate Heptahydrate, also known as green vitriol or iron vitriol) has the chemical formula of FeSO4·7H2O and is light green crystal.
Ferrous sulfate monohydrate (Ferrous Sulfate Monohydrate) contains ferrous sulfate with one crystal water, with the chemical formula of FeSO4·H2O, and is gray white.
The role (application field) of ferrous sulfate is mainly as follows:
- Animal Husbandry
Ferrous sulfate monohydrate can be used as a trace element supplement in feed. Adding an appropriate amount of ferrous sulfate to livestock feed can prevent or treat iron deficiency anemia and improve the growth performance and productivity of livestock and poultry.
- Mining Industry
Ferrous sulfate has the following important applications in the mining industry: used for flotation separation of valuable minerals, desulfurization treatment of sulfide ores, treatment of waste slag to reduce environmental impact, mine drainage treatment, and can also be used as a chemical reaction reagent to participate in metal extraction and redox reactions.
- Water treatment
Ferrous sulfate has a wide range of applications in water treatment. It can be used to reduce the corrosion of metal pipes and equipment in water, remove oxygen and hydrogen sulfide from water, precipitate metal and particulate pollutants, treat pollutants in water, and control the precipitation of minerals in water. These applications help improve water quality, ensure clean water sources, and are suitable for various industrial, agricultural and drinking water supply needs.
- Cement industry
The application of ferrous sulfate in the cement industry mainly involves two aspects. First, it is used for flue gas desulfurization, which helps reduce sulfur oxide emissions to meet environmental regulations and ensure environmentally friendly production. Second, ferrous sulfate can also be used to adjust the color of cement to meet design or market requirements, making cement more in line with requirements in appearance. These applications help improve the environmental performance and appearance quality of cement production.
- Agriculture
It is mainly used as fertilizer to promote plant growth and improve leaf color with the iron required by plants, especially effective for soils poor in iron.
In short, ferrous sulfate has many functions and uses, and is widely used in industrial and agricultural production. Its appearance has greatly enriched and improved human life.
