Zinc sulfate monohydrate
Zinc sulfate monohydrate (CAS: 7446-19-7; ZnSO₄ · H₂O; MW: 179.47) is an inorganic compound. It appears as white crystals or crystalline powder and is readily soluble in water. This essential chemical is a vital precursor and reagent utilised across various industrial and research applications, particularly in the fields of agriculture, mining, and chemical synthesis. It is supplied by TSS with an assay of 98.0%.
- Synonyms
- Sulfuric acid, zinc salt (1:1), monohydrate
Agricultural Nutrient
Zinc sulfate monohydrate serves as a key source of zinc for plant nutrition, correcting deficiencies in soils and improving crop yields. It is often incorporated into fertilisers or applied directly as a foliar spray. It also acts as a micronutrient in animal feed formulations.
Mining and Metallurgy
In the mining industry, it is employed as a depressant in the froth flotation of sphalerite and other zinc-bearing ores. This process selectively separates valuable minerals from waste rock.
Chemical Reagent
It functions as a versatile laboratory reagent and an intermediate in the synthesis of other zinc compounds. Its applications span electroplating baths and the production of rayon.
Water Treatment
Zinc sulfate can be used in water treatment processes as a corrosion inhibitor and to precipitate phosphates.
