How is iron sulfate monohydrate made?

Iron sulfate monohydrate also known as ferrous sulfate monohydrate, is light gray or light brown in color and comes from steel or titanium dioxide production as a by-product of the production process. Iron sulfate monohydrate can be produced as heptahydrate or monohydrate by drying process.

Ferrous sulfate monohydrate uses/application:

1. Ferrous sulfate monohydrate for plants

Ferrous sulphate monohydrate is a common fertilizer additive as a supplement of Fe and a booster for the absorption of N, P elements for plants. As base fertilizer for soil, it can help to prevent diseases like flower chlorotic disorder; when used as foliar fertilizer with its solution, it can help to defense insect pests or diseases such as, chlorosis, cotton anthracnose, etc. The agriculture, lawn and horticulture, and turf management industries use ferrous sulphate monohydrate to correct iron deficiency or iron deficiency in plants and soils, to eliminate moss, to reduce alkalinity, and as micronutrients in fertilizers.

2. Ferrous sulfate monohydrate for animals feed

Adding ferrous sulphate in feed can effectively prevent illnesses such as iron-deficiency anemia, iron-deficiency lassitude, abnormal body temperature, etc. It can also increase survival rate of livestock, improve its growth and development, strengthen its disease resistance. Meanwhile, ferrous sulphate can be used in water treatment, iron salts production, mordant, preservative and other industries.
