Magnesium Sulfate

Magnesium sulfate, or anhydrous magnesium sulfate and magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, is a magnesium-containing compound having a molecular formula of MgSO4 (or MgSO4·7H2O). Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is a commonly used chemical reagent and drying reagent. However, magnesium sulfate is often referred to as magnesium sulfate heptahydrate because it is not easily soluble and is easier to weigh than anhydrous magnesium sulfate, facilitating quantitative control in the industry.

Chinese name: Magnesium sulfate. English alias: magnesium sulphate (Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate). Can be used as tanning, explosives, paper, porcelain, fertilizer, and medical oral laxatives. Mineral water additive. Magnesium sulphate is used in agriculture as a fertilizer because magnesium is one of the main components of chlorophyll. It is commonly used in potted plants or crops that are deficient in magnesium, such as tomatoes, potatoes, roses, and the like. Magnesium sulfate has the advantage of being more soluble than other fertilizers. Magnesium sulfate is also used as a bath salt.
