Description
Quick Detail:
Magnesium sulfate is an inorganic salt containing magnesium, sulfur
and oxygen, with the formula MgSO4. It is often encountered as the
heptahydrate sulfate mineral epsomite (MgSO4•7H2O), commonly
called Epsom salt, named for a bitter saline spring from the town
of Epsom in Surrey, England, where the salt was produced from the
springs that arise where the porous chalk of the North Downs meets
non-porous London clay. Epsom salt occurs naturally as a pure
mineral. Another hydrate form is kieserite.
Description:
Magnesium sulphate fertilizer is a kind of small white crystal. It
has been widely applied in many countries and regions, especially
in rubber tree, oil palm, tobacco plant ,orange and tangerine plant
and grassland with tangible result. The magnesium sulphate
fertilizer is widely used in the fields of agriculture , livestock
breeding, forestry and soilless culture.
Applications:
1. In agriculture and gardening, Magnesium sulphate heptahydrate is
used to correct magnesium deficiency in soil,since magnesium is an
essential element in the chlorophyll molecule.It is most commonly
applied to potted plants, or to magnesium-hungry crops,such as
potatoes,roses,tomatoes,peppers and cannabis.The advantage of
Magnesium sulphate Heptahydrate over other magnesium soil
amendments(such as dolomitic lime) is its high solubility.
2. Magnesium sulphate heptahydrate is also used to maintain the
magnesium concentration in marine aquaria which contain large
amounts of stony corals as it is slowly depleted in their
calcification process.In a magnesium-deficient marine aquarium is
present to sabilize these ions in the saltwater and prevent their
spontaneous precipitation ionto calcium carbonate.

3. Magnesium sulphate Heptahydrate is used as the electrolyte to
prepare copper sulfate.
4. Magnesium sulphate Heptahydrate is used as a brewing salt in
beer production to adjust the ion content of the brewing water and
enhance enzyme action in the mash or promote a desired flavor
profile in the beer.
5. Magnesium Sulphate Heptahydrate is also widely apply in medical
use.
