Ferrous sulfate heptahydrate
Ferrous sulfate heptahydrate (CAS: 7782-63-0) is a blue-green crystalline salt providing a highly bioavailable source of iron(II) for nutritional, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and industrial applications. In medicine and food fortification, it treats and prevents iron-deficiency anemia, replenishing hemoglobin and supporting oxygen transport, making it one of the most widely used iron supplements globally. Agriculture employs it to correct iron chlorosis in plants, restoring green color and photosynthetic efficiency in alkaline soils. Water treatment facilities use it as a coagulant for phosphate removal and sludge conditioning in wastewater plants. Industrial applications include pigment manufacturing, mordant dyeing, and as a reducing agent in chemical processing. With its proven efficacy, low cost, and multiple quality grades, ferrous sulfate heptahydrate remains an essential iron compound across health, agriculture, and industry.
– Iron Supplementation: Used in tablets, syrups, and food fortification to treat iron-deficiency anemia with high bioavailability and proven clinical efficacy.
– Agricultural Micronutrient: Applied as a soil amendment and foliar spray correcting iron chlorosis in crops, turf, and ornamental plants.
– Water and Wastewater Treatment: Serves as a coagulant and phosphate precipitant improving clarification and reducing eutrophication potential.
– Industrial Processing: Employed in pigment production, textile dyeing as a mordant, and as a reducing agent in chemical manufacturing.
