Ferrous sulfate can be used to make iron salts, iron oxide pigments, mordants, water purifiers, preservatives, disinfectants, etc.;
1. Water treatment
Ferrous sulfate is used for the flocculation and purification of water, and to remove phosphate from urban and industrial sewage to prevent eutrophication of water bodies.
2. Reducing agent
A large amount of ferrous sulfate is used as a reducing agent, mainly reducing chromate in cement.
3. Medicinal
Ferrous sulfate is used to treat iron deficiency anemia; it is also used to add iron to food. Long-term excessive use may cause side effects such as abdominal pain and nausea.
In medicine, it can also be used as a local astringent and blood tonic, and can be used for chronic blood loss caused by uterine fibroids.
4. Coloring agent
a. The production of iron tannate ink and other inks requires ferrous sulfate. The mordant for wood dyeing also contains ferrous sulfate.
b. Ferrous sulfate can be used to stain concrete into a yellow rust color.
c. Carpentry uses ferrous sulfate to dye maple with silver color.
5. Agriculture
Adjust the pH of the soil to promote the formation of chlorophyll (also known as iron fertilizer), which can prevent yellowing disease caused by iron deficiency in flowers and trees. It is an indispensable element for acid-loving flowers and trees, especially iron trees. It can also be used as a pesticide in agriculture to prevent wheat smut, scab of apples and pears, and rot of fruit trees; it can also be used as a fertilizer to remove moss and lichen from tree trunks.
6. Analytical Chemistry
Ferrous sulfate can be used as a chromatographic analysis reagent.
