Magnesium Sulfate MgSO₄

Descripción

Magnesium sulfate, chemical formula MgSO₄, is a common inorganic salt. We usually divide it into MgSO₄·H₂O, MgSO₄·7H₂O and other forms according to the crystal water content. Both have their own characteristics in appearance, purity and use, and the selection needs to be matched according to specific application scenarios and needs.

MgSO₄·H₂O, Magnesium Sulfate Monohydrate

A common inorganic compound. Its appearance is white crystalline powder with bitter taste, easily soluble in water and slightly soluble in ethanol. It has high purity, and the main content is usually >98%. Magnesium sulfate monohydrate is widely used in the medical field and can be used to treat constipation, relieve symptoms of cholecystitis, and as an anticonvulsant. In addition, industrially, it can be used in magnesium salt manufacturing, printing and dyeing, papermaking and other industries. In agriculture, it can also be used as fertilizer to supplement magnesium. It has stable properties and is easy to use. It is a multifunctional compound.

MgSO₄·7H₂O, Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate,commonly known as “Epsom salt”.

Its appearance is colorless or white needle-like crystals, odorless, slightly bitter, easily soluble in water and slightly soluble in ethanol. It is mainly used in agriculture to supplement magnesium in the soil and promote crop growth, especially for magnesium-deficient crops such as tomatoes, potatoes and roses. In addition, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is also widely used in the industrial field. It can be used in tanning, printing and dyeing, papermaking, plastics, porcelain, fireproof materials, etc. It can also be added to dairy products and beverages as a food fortifier. In medicine, it is often used as Epsom salt. Due to its good solubility and versatility, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate has important application value in many fields.

In summary, MgSO₄ is a versatile compound. Its various forms have important applications in medicine, agriculture, industry and other fields due to their unique physical and chemical properties.
