Description

Ferrous Sulfate Monohydrate is an essential inorganic salt of iron, widely recognized for its role as a cost-effective and bioavailable source of ferrous iron. Its primary commercial value lies in its versatility as a reducing agent, coagulant, and nutritional supplement across diverse industrial and agricultural sectors. Key industries that rely on this compound include water treatment, animal nutrition, agriculture as a soil amendment, and the manufacturing of pigments and other iron-based chemicals.

Application

• Water and Wastewater Treatment: Acts as an effective coagulant and reducing agent for phosphate removal and odor control in municipal and industrial water systems.
• Animal Feed Supplement: Serves as a critical nutritional iron source to prevent anemia and support hemoglobin formation in livestock, poultry, and aquaculture.
• Agricultural Micronutrient Fertilizer: Corrects iron chlorosis (yellowing) in crops by providing a readily absorbable form of iron to deficient soils.
• Chemical Manufacturing: Used as a precursor in the production of other iron compounds, such as iron oxide pigments, and as a reducing agent in chemical synthesis.
• Cement and Construction: Employed as a setting accelerator and to reduce chromate levels in cement, enhancing worker safety.
• Food Fortification: Used in specific food-grade applications to enrich staple foods with iron, addressing nutritional deficiencies.

Quality Control

Our Ferrous Sulfate Monohydrate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, iron content, and impurity limits. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, heavy metals, and insoluble matter. Our production can align with various industry standards, including feed grade and technical grade specifications, to meet specific customer requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to air and moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
