Description

Ferrous Sulphate is an iron salt with the chemical formula FeSO₄·xH₂O. It is also known as Iron(II) Sulphate, Green Vitriol or Copperas. The most common commercial form is the heptahydrate, which appears as blue-green crystals.

This product dissolves in water and provides a useful source of iron. Because of this, many industries use it in agriculture, water treatment, cement production, mining, pigments and chemical manufacturing.

In agriculture, iron sulphate helps correct iron deficiency in soil and plants. It can also help lower the pH of alkaline soils, which allows plants to access nutrients more easily. As a result, growers often use it for lawns, gardens, crops and horticultural applications.

Water treatment is another important use. The product helps remove phosphates, control odours and support wastewater treatment processes. In addition, it can assist with colour removal and the treatment of certain industrial effluents.

In cement production, Ferrous Sulphate works as a reducing agent. It helps reduce soluble chromium VI to the less harmful chromium III form. Therefore, cement producers use it to support safer handling and improve compliance with product requirements.

Industrial users also value this material as a raw material for other iron compounds. It supports pigment production, chemical reactions, mining processes and selected metallurgical applications. Furthermore, it has a long history in dyeing, leather treatment, ink production and wood finishing.

Correct handling remains important. Customers should store the product in a dry, well-ventilated area and protect it from moisture and incompatible materials. Users should also follow the relevant safety data sheet and site procedures.

MEPPAR supplies Ferrous Sulphate for commercial, agricultural and industrial customers. The product is suitable for approved use in water treatment, agriculture, cement, mining, pigments, chemical processing and general manufacturing.
