Application of ferrous sulfate
(1) Manganese sulfate is used as a glaze, fertilizer additive and catalyst. It is added to the soil to promote plant growth, especially citrus crops (2) manganese sulfate is a good reducing agent for the manufacture of paint and varnish desiccant. (3) manganese sulfate is used in textile dyes, fungicides, medicine and ceramics. (4) In food, manganese sulfate is used as a nutritional and dietary supplement. (5) Manganese sulfate is also used in ore flotation as a catalyst for the viscose process and the synthesis of manganese dioxide. (6) In veterinary medicine, manganese sulfate is used as a nutritional factor and to prevent manganese disease in poultry. |

Product details
Manganese sulfate is a light pink monoclinic crystal at room temperature. Soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol. Heating above 200ºC will lose the crystal water, and around 280ºC will lose most of the crystal water. At 700ºC, it becomes an anhydrous salt melt. Decomposes at 850ºC, releasing sulfur trioxide. Sulfur dioxide or oxygen. |
