About Ferrous Sulphate
FERROUS SULFATE ANHYDROUS is a compound of iron and sulfate with a 1:1 ratio of iron(2+) to sulfate ions. It's a crystalline solid that's greenish or yellow-brown in color, and it melts at 64 C.
Ferrous sulfate has many uses, including:
Iron supplement
Used to treat iron deficiency anemia, which occurs when the body doesn't have enough iron to produce red blood cells.
Soil amendment
Used to lower the pH of alkaline soil so plants can absorb nutrients. It can also treat iron chlorosis, a condition that causes plant leaves to turn yellow.
Water treatment
Used to remove phosphates and hydrogen sulfide from water, and to control algae growth.
Industrial applications
Used in the manufacturing of pigments, sewage treatment, and as a reducing agent in chemical processes.
Dyeing and tanning
Used in the dyeing and tanning industries.
Wood paneling
Used to treat wood paneling on houses, either individually or as part of a water-based paint.
Ferrous sulfate is toxic to the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and central nervous systems. Symptoms of an overdose include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, and black stools.
