Hexahydrate ferrous sulfate is a by-product produced during the sulfuric acid method for titanium dioxide production. By adding the prescribed amount, it can adjust the pH value of alkaline water, combine with suspended substances in the water, and accelerate the sedimentation process. It is mainly used in water purification and industrial wastewater treatment.
Ferrous Sulfate – Industrial Applications: Coagulant, with excellent coagulation effect, it has a good decolorization ability, and also has functions of removing heavy metal ions, removing oil, and removing phosphorus. Especially, it has obvious effects on decolorization and removal of COD in dyeing wastewater, and iron oxide co-precipitation in electroplating wastewater. Ferrous Sulfate can also be used as a food additive, pigment, raw material for the electronics industry, hydrogen sulfide deodorizer, soil conditioner, industrial catalyst, etc.
Ferrous Sulfate – Agricultural Applications: As a fertilizer, it acts as a catalyst for plants to produce chlorophyll and plays a crucial role in plant absorption; Ferrous Sulfate can also be used as a fertilizer, herbicide, and pesticide, treating wheat scab disease, controlling pests in orchards and fruit trees, and eradicating moss and lichens on tree trunks and barks.
