Ferrous sulfate (fine particles)

Ferrous sulfate

Molecular formula:FeSO4•7H₂O

Physical properties: Ferrous sulfate is a white powder, and its crystals are light - green crystals. The melting point is 671°C (decomposition), the relative density (water = 1) is 1.897 (15°C), and it is soluble in water and glycerol, but insoluble in ethanol.

Chemical properties: Ferrous sulfate has reducibility. When heated to a high temperature, it decomposes and releases toxic gases. It is easily oxidized to brownish - yellow basic ferric sulfate, which is insoluble in water, in a humid air environment.

Uses: Ferrous sulfate can be used in the production of iron salts, iron oxide pigments, mordants, water purifiers, preservatives, disinfectants, etc.

Storage and transportation:During storage, it should be placed in a dry, cool, and well - ventilated environment. Avoid storing it with oxidants, alkalis and other substances to prevent reactions. When transporting ferrous sulfate, use corrosion - resistant packaging to ensure that the packaging is tightly sealed without leakage. Take measures to prevent rain and moisture to avoid the ferrous sulfate getting damp or coming into contact with incompatible substances.
