MgSO4 Metallurgical Chemicals Magnesium Sulfate CAS 7487-88-9 For Papermaking Porcelain

Magnesium Sulfate 50kg/bag MgSO4 CAS 7487-88-9 for Papermaking and Porcelain

Magnesium sulfate is an inorganic compound. The chemical formula is MgSO4, with a molecular weight of 120.3676 g/mol. It is usually a white crystal or white powder. Odorless, salty and bitter taste, deliquescent, easily soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol and glycerol. Magnesium sulfate can react with alkali to form magnesium hydroxide precipitate, and can also thermally decompose to produce sulfur trioxide or sulfur dioxide gas.  In industry, magnesium sulfate is often prepared by recrystallization method, meteorological method, and hot-melt leaching method.  Clinically used for laxative, choleretic, anticonvulsant, eclampsia, tetanus, hypertension and other conditions, it can also be used for leather making, explosives, papermaking, porcelain, fertilizers, etc. However, its ingestion may be harmful and in some cases may cause systemic toxicity.

Construction field
Magnesium sulfate can react with light burned powder to form magnesium oxychloride cement when dissolved in water. Magnesium oxychloride cement has good fire resistance, insulation, durability, and environmental friendliness, and is applied in many fields such as fireproof door core board, exterior wall insulation board, silicon modified insulation board, fireproof board, etc.  
Industrial sector
Used in industries such as leather making, explosives, fertilizers, papermaking, porcelain, printing and dyeing materials, lead-acid batteries, etc. Magnesium sulfate, like other minerals such as potassium, calcium, amino acid salts, silicates, etc., can be used as bath salts. Used as an alkali absorber in the printing and dyeing industry, it can maintain the stability of the pH value of the coloring solution and ensure uniform dyeing. It can also be used as a chemical reagent, filler for papermaking, and weighting agent for textiles, as well as nickel bath components for electroplating other metals; Catalyst support for platinum in sulfuric acid production. Used as an additive for trace element magnesium in the feed industry. Magnesium sulfate is also a component of fire-resistant compounds, preservatives, tanning agents, and coagulants.
agriculture
Fertilizer: In agriculture and horticulture, magnesium sulfate is used to improve magnesium deficient soil (magnesium is a basic element of chlorophyll molecules), promote the metabolism of sugars in plants, and is most commonly used for potted plants or magnesium containing crops such as potatoes, roses, tomatoes, peppers. The advantage of using magnesium sulfate over other magnesium sulfate soil amendments (such as dolomitic lime) is due to its high solubility. Magnesium sulfate can be used as raw material to produce potassium sulfate fertilizer and calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer.
Feed: Feed grade magnesium sulfate is used as a supplement for magnesium in feed processing. Magnesium is an essential factor in the bone building process and muscle contraction in livestock and poultry. It is an activator of various enzymes in livestock and poultry and plays an extremely important role in substance metabolism and neurological function. If livestock and poultry are deficient in magnesium, it can lead to metabolic and neurological disorders, supply imbalances, affect their growth and development, and even cause death.
Food sector
Magnesium sulfate is used as a stabilizer and thickener in food additives. When using highly cross-linked starch to produce insoluble starch xanthate products, in order to increase their stability, magnesium sulfate is added to transform the product into highly stable sodium magnesium xanthate salts. The salt brine used to rapidly coagulate proteins and produce products with low water content such as tofu jerky contains magnesium sulfate.
Other areas
Magnesium sulfate can be used as a desiccant for organic reactions in the laboratory. It is suitable for esters, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, nitriles, phenols, amides, halogenated hydrocarbons, nitro compounds, and compounds that cannot be dried with calcium chloride, and has a faster and more effective effect than sodium sulfate. Magnesium sulfate is commonly used in aquaculture to treat bubble disease.
