Manganous Sulphate Monohydrate (Manganese Sulfate)
| Description
Manganous sulphate (MnSO4) forms very stable, nearly translucent pale rose colored crystals that are highly soluble in water. It is obtained by the action of sulfuric acid on compounds containing manganous, such as hydroxide or carbonate, which leads to the precipitation of monoclinic monohydrate (MnSO4.H2O) when the temperature is above 27°C. |
| Applications
Manganese sulphate is used extensively, in a variety of industries:
- In agriculture, as a catalyst in the synthesis of chlorophyll to promote plant growth and augment harvests.
- In the production of fertilisers, to promote plant growth, particularly of citrus crops.
- In the animal feed industry, as a nutrient and a dietary supplement.
- In the field of veterinary medicine, to prevent perosis in poultry.
- In the paint industry, as a reducing agent.
- In the textile industry, in dyes.
- In mining – ore flotation.
- In the ceramics industry, in enamels.
- And also in medicine, in the production of fungicides, and more.
