What are the uses of magnesium sulfate in industry and agriculture?

In industry, it can be used in tanning, explosives, fertilizers, papermaking, porcelain, printing and dyeing materials, lead-acid batteries and other industries. At the same time, magnesium sulfate, like other minerals such as potassium, calcium, amino acid salt and silicate, can be used as bath salt. As we all know, the dead sea is famous for people's natural floating on the water without sinking. It is a world-famous tourist attraction. I don't know how much these are directly related to magnesium sulfate.

 

Magnesium sulfate is used as a fertilizer in agriculture because magnesium is one of the main components of chlorophyll. It is usually used for potted plants or magnesium deficient crops, such as tomatoes, potatoes, roses and so on. Magnesium sulfate has the advantage of higher solubility than other fertilizers. Magnesium sulfate is also used as bath salt. Magnesium sulfate, or anhydrous magnesium sulfate, is a compound containing magnesium. Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is a common chemical reagent and drying reagent. However, magnesium sulfate often refers to magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, which is a white fine oblique or oblique columnar crystal, odorless and bitter. It is clinically used for diarrhea, cholagogic, anticonvulsant, eclampsia, tetanus, hypertension and other diseases.

It is used for sewage treatment in environmental protection. Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is used in light industry to produce fresh yeast, monosodium glutamate, beverage and mineral water; In the chemical industry, it is used to manufacture magnesium stearate, magnesium hydrogen phosphate, magnesium oxide and other magnesium salts and potassium sulfate, sodium sulfate and other sulfates; Used as filler in fireproof materials to enhance heat resistance; In pharmacy, magnesium sulfate is processed into laxatives, anticonvulsants, magnesium trisilicate, maibaimycin, Acetylspiramycin and Jixi. In food industry, magnesium sulfate is used for lactic acid, monosodium glutamate, etc. Used as filler in leather industry; Used as conductive salt in electroplating industry; It can be used as fabric dyeing agent, weighting agent and magnesium dyeing agent in printing and dyeing. In addition, it is used for industrial sewage treatment, which plays the role of condensation and sedimentation of waste water and sewage to make it meet the sewage discharge standard.
