Character of Ferrous Sulfate


  • Pale, blue-green crystals or granules that are efflorescent in dry air.

  • In moist air, it oxidizes readily to form a brown-yellow, basic ferric sulfate.

  • It's soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol.


Usage of Ferrous Sulfate


  • It is used as nutrient, fruit and vegetable chromogenic reagent. woven bag as the outer layer. The net weight of each bag is 25kg.


Chemical Reaction Process of Ferrous Sulfate


  • Mix an appropriate amount of ferric hydroxide (III) suspension with sulfuric acid. The reaction will produce ferrous sulfate (FeSO4) and water (H2O). Fe(OH)3 + H2SO4 → FeSO4 + H2O; FeSO4·7H2O is a compound that contains seven molecules of crystalline water.

  • Chemical Reaction process: Add an appropriate amount of iron powder to an acidic solution containing an appropriate amount of water, typically using sulfuric acid as the acidic solution. The reaction will produce ferrous sulfate (FeSO4). Fe + H2SO4 → FeSO4 + H2↑

Benefits of Ferrous Sulfate (Heptahydrate/Monohydrate)

Benefits of Ferrous Sulfate (Heptahydrate/Monohydrate)

Iron supplementation

FeSO4·7H2O is commonly used as a dietary supplement to address iron deficiency. It provides a readily absorbable form of iron, aiding in the production of hemoglobin and red blood cells.

Anemia treatment

Anemia, characterized by low hemoglobin levels, can be improved with FeSO4·7H2O. It helps boost hemoglobin production, leading to increased oxygen-carrying capacity and improved energy levels.

Nutritional support

FeSO4·7H2O contributes to overall nutritional support by ensuring an adequate intake of iron. Iron is essential for various bodily functions, including oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and immune system function.

Improved cognitive function

Iron is crucial for brain health and cognitive function. Supplementing with FeSO4·7H2O can help support optimal brain function, memory, and concentration.

Enhanced physical performance

Iron plays a vital role in oxygen transport to muscles and tissues. Adequate iron levels, achieved through FeSO4·7H2O supplementation, can enhance physical performance, endurance, and recovery.

Pregnancy support

Pregnant women often require increased iron intake to support the growing fetus and prevent iron deficiency anemia. FeSO4·7H2O can help meet the increased iron needs during pregnancy, promoting healthy development and reducing the risk of complications.

Ferrous Sulfate Function

Ferrous Sulfate Function
  • FeSO4·H2O is a compound that contains one molecule of crystalline water. It is used as a soil conditioner and a supplementary nutrient for plants. It is also utilized for purifying water sources and removing pollutants from water. Additionally it serves as a supplemental iron treatment for treating iron-deficiency anemia.
