- Ferrous sulfate monohydrate is a dry chemical substance with a white, gray, or green color, odorless, and crystalline structure.
- It is fully soluble in water and contains at least 30% Fe (Iron).
- It is commonly used as a fertilizer in agriculture to prevent growth inhibition due to iron deficiency in plants. It contributes to the increase of chlorophyll pigments, thereby contributing to the cultivation of healthy products.
- It is used as a source of iron trace element in animal feeds. Iron deficiency in animal species can cause problems such as anemia, growth retardation, and decreased immunity. Ferrous sulfate monohydrate is an effective iron source for animal species. In order to meet the different needs of different animal species at different ages and conditions, ferrous sulfate monohydrate is used in a wide variety of animal feed products.
- Ferrous sulfate monohydrate, which is also frequently used in industrial applications, is used as a flocculant in water treatment plants and as a chromium reducing agent in the cement industry.
- The element chromium is an undesirable element in cement that can cause allergic reactions and dermatitis. Depending on the concentration and duration of exposure, hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) in cement can penetrate human skin, causing an allergy called chromate dermatitis, and is also classified as a carcinogen. It is necessary to reduce chromium in cement to protect human health and the environment.
- Free-flowing powdered ferrous sulfate monohydrate is preferred for chromium reduction in cement production and is suitable for pneumatic conveyors. It is the most thermodynamically stable form of ferrous sulfate types.
