Applications of Ferrous Sulphate
Various applications of Ferrous sulphate include: ?
●????Industrially, ferrous sulphate has applications as a precursor to other iron compounds. It also reduces chromate in cement to a less toxic Cr (III) substance. ?
●????In the textile industry, ferrous sulphate has been used as a dye fixative for centuries. ?
●????It is also used in gold refining to precipitate metallic gold from auric chloride solutions (gold dissolved in solution with aqua regia: a mixture of nitric acid & hydrochloric acid). ?

●????Iron can be found in various multivitamins and mineral supplements. Iron has little to no effect on the liver when ingested at the replacement dosage. Iron causes severe toxicity in large amounts and intentional overdoses, one of which is abrupt liver failure.
●????Impheron and iron dextran are also injectable supplements. Oral iron supplements include ferrous gluconate, ferrous fumarate, and ferrous sulphate - among which ferrous sulphate is the safest and most affordable iron supplement. ?
●????Iron (II) sulphate keeps the pH of high-alkaline soils low, which allows plants to absorb nutrients.?
●????It is used to cure iron chlorosis in horticulture. Its effects stay longer though it does not operate quickly like ferric EDTA. Gardeners and farmers mix it with compost and dig it into the soil to create a store that lasts for years. ?
●????Ferrous sulphate can also colour concrete, limestone, and sandstones. Woodworkers use ferrous sulphate solutions to give a silver tone to maple wood.??
●????Ferrous sulphate is a coagulant of choice for many industrial and sanitary wastewater treatment applications because of its high efficiency and effectiveness in clarification and utility as a sludge dewatering agent.
●????Ferrous sulphate is also used as a colourant in foods and fabric dyes. It is mixed with the following:
