Magnesium sulfate monohydrate is a compound state in magnesium sulfate.
Properties: white fluid powder. Density 2.66g/cm3. Dissolved in water. Slightly soluble in alcohol. Insoluble in acetone. Because magnesium is one of the main components of chlorophyll, magnesium sulfate monohydrate is usually used as a fertilizer and mineral water additive. The advantage of magnesium sulfate over other fertilizers is its higher solubility.
1. Used as compound fertilizer desiccant
Special compound fertilizers such as calcium chloride and urea are used as anti-caking additives, which are not only practical, cheap and easy to obtain, but also significantly improve product performance. There will be no clumping phenomenon during storage and transportation. In addition, because magnesium sulfate monohydrate contains two trace elements, sulfur and magnesium, which are beneficial to crop growth, magnesium sulfate monohydrate is used as a special anti-caking additive for compound fertilizers, which not only solves the problem of product caking. It can also improve the yield-increasing effect of compound fertilizers, further increasing crop yields, and the benefits are very significant.
2. Use as agricultural fertilizer
It is a dual-nutrient high-quality fertilizer. Sulfur and magnesium are both trace elements of crops. They are the fifth and sixth major nutrients of crops. Not only can it increase crop yield, but it can also improve the taste of the fruit. As a fertilizer, magnesium sulfate can be directly used as base fertilizer, top dressing and foliar fertilizer. It can be applied alone or mixed as one of the components. It can be used in traditional agriculture, as well as in high value-added precision agriculture, flowers and soilless cultivation. When used as base fertilizer and top dressing, mixed application with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium fertilizers and farmyard manure can achieve better results.
3. Use as feed additive
For feed additives, the requirements for non-toxic substances are relatively low, generally 0.04%-----0.06% of the whole feed. The magnesium content of the feed itself is basically sufficient. For pharmaceuticals, the requirements are relatively high. Generally, it is 0.2% of the whole feed. About %. In addition to the magnesium contained in the feed itself, magnesium-containing feed additives need to be supplemented. When producing and using magnesium-containing feed additives, they must be mixed evenly to prevent magnesium poisoning in animals.
