Basic Info

Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate - Introduction
Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is a colorless crystalline or white granular solid. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation and safety information of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate:
Nature:

Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is soluble in water and is slightly acidic in water.

It has good crystal structure and is monoclinic crystal system at room temperature.
Purpose:
In agriculture, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate can be used as a fertilizer supplement for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulfur to promote crop growth.
It can also be used as a dehydrating agent in industry, a dye aid for textiles and a bleach agent in the paper industry.

Preparation:
The preparation of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is usually obtained by reacting sulfuric acid with a magnesium salt, such as magnesium sulfate.
The products after the reaction need to be purified by crystallization, filtration and drying.
Safety information:
The chemical properties of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate are relatively stable, but care should still be taken to avoid contact with strong oxidants, acids or irritating chemicals.
When handling magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, it is necessary to use protective glasses and gloves, and maintain good ventilation conditions.
Avoid inhaling magnesium sulfate heptahydrate dust or solution contact with the skin, if there is contact irritation, should immediately rinse with plenty of water. If accidentally swallowed or inhaled into the respiratory system, seek medical attention immediately.
