Ferrous Sulphate Heptahydrate

Ferrous sulfate heptahydrate is a major source of iron, containing a minimum of 19% iron in its blue-green crystal form.

It is completely water soluble and contains at least 19% Fe (Iron).

It is widely used as a fertilizer in agriculture in order to prevent growth inhibition due to iron deficiency in plants. It contributes to the growth of healthy crops by contributing to the increase of chlorophyll pigments.

Iron sulfate heptahydrate, which is frequently used in industrial applications, is used as a flocculant in water treatment plants and is also used as a chromium reducing agent in cement industry.

Chromium is an undesirable element in cement that can cause allergic reactions and dermatitis. Depending on the concentration and exposure time, hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) in cement penetrates human skin and causes allergies called chromate dermatitis, but it is also classified as a carcinogen. It is necessary to reduce chromium in cement to protect human health and protect the environment.

Ferrous sulphate heptahydrate can also be applied in crystal form with a drying agent in the clinker grinding process in the cement industry.
