Magnesium Sulfate And Its Characteristics & Applications


Magnesium sulfate is a common component of our commonly used medicine. There is magnesium sulfate monohydrate or magnesium sulfate anhydrous and magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, which is a magnesium-containing compound.


Here let us learn about the characteristics and applications of magnesium sulfate monohydrate. Magnesium sulfate monohydrate is commonly used as chemical reagent and desiccant. Magnesium sulfate often refers to magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, because it is not easy to dissolve, easier to weigh than anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and easy to quantitative control in industry. It can be used as leather, paper, porcelain, fertilizer, medical oral laxative, and mineral water additive. Magnesium sulfate monohydrate is used as fertilizer in agriculture, because magnesium is one of the main components of chlorophyll. It is usually used for potted or magnesium-deficient crops such as tomatoes, potatoes, roses, etc. The advantage of magnesium sulfate monohydrate over other fertilizers is the high solubility. That is why magnesium sulfate is also used as bath salt.


There are many other characteristics of the products. In agriculture and horticulture, a study found that magnesium sulfate monohydrate is used to correct the magnesium deficiency in the soil. Commonly used in magnesium sulfate potted plants or magnesium deficient crops, such as potatoes, roses, tomatoes, and peppers. Magnesium sulfate monohydrate for feed is used as a magnesium supplement in feed processing, since it is indispensable in the process of bone formation and muscle contraction of livestock and plays an important role in the material metabolism and nerve function of livestock that uses activating agents. Once the livestock lack magnesium in the body, it will lead to dysfunction in material metabolism and neurological, affecting the growth and development of the livestock, and even lead to death.
