Ferrous sulfate FeO4S CAS: 7720-78-7 Pesticides; Fertilizer, iron catalysts; analysis reagent; Nutritional、Feed supplements
Basic information
Nature
White rhombic crystal, dull blue-green monoclinic crystalline powder or particle. Odorless, with salty astringent taste. It will weather in dry air. It is easily oxidized to brown basic iron sulfate in humid air
Use
In agriculture, it can be used as a pesticide to prevent wheat smut, apple and pear scab, fruit tree rot; It can also be used as fertilizer to remove moss and lichen from tree trunks. It is a raw material for the manufacture of magnetic iron oxide, iron oxide red and iron blue inorganic pigments, iron catalysts and polyferric sulfate. It is used in medicine as local astringent and blood tonic. In addition, it is also used as a chromatographic analysis reagent. Food grade used as a nutritional supplement, such as iron fortification agent, fruit and vegetable hair color agent. Feed grade ferrous sulfate, used as an iron supplement in feed processing.
Security
Store in a dry warehouse. Weathering should be prevented. It will turn yellow over time (oxidized to iron by air). It should be protected from rain during transportation. Sun and moisture. It shall not be mixed with harmful and toxic substances to prevent pollution. In case of fire, put out with water and fire extinguisher.
Storage and transportation
Transportation precautions: The packaging should be intact during transportation, and the loading should be firm, avoiding sunlight and rain. During transportation, it is necessary to ensure that the container does not leak, collapse, fall or be damaged.
Storage precautions: Store in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Stay away from sparks and heat sources. Prevent direct sunlight. The packaging must be sealed and not damp. It should be stored separately from oxidants, alkalis, etc., and should not be stored together.The storage area should be equipped with appropriate materials to contain leaked materials. It is highly susceptible to oxidation in the air and must be prepared on site during experiments.
