Iron (II) Sulphate Heptahydrate (Ferrous Sulphate)

What is Iron (II) Sulphate Heptahydrate (Ferrous Sulphate)? Iron (II) Sulphate Heptahydrate, also known as Ferrous Sulphate, is a high-purity crystalline compound that consists of iron, sulphur, and water molecules. It is typically found in its heptahydrate form, meaning it contains seven water molecules per formula unit. This compound is widely used in various industrial, agricultural, and pharmaceutical applications, particularly for its iron content, which makes it useful for plant nutrition.

Frequent Uses

Agricultural Applications
Commonly used in agriculture as a fertiliser to correct iron deficiencies in plants. It is an effective source of iron for crops, preventing chlorosis (yellowing of leaves) caused by insufficient iron. It is used in soil treatment to promote healthy plant growth, especially in plants such as lawns, shrubs, and fruit trees that require optimal iron levels.

Gardening
Ferrous Sulphate provides a remarkable green-up effect on the grass. When plenty of moisture is present, its impact can be long-lasting, resulting in a vibrant lawn. By applying Ferrous Sulphate, the turf undergoes a process called "hardening," which enhances its resistance to diseases and fungal attacks. This practice is commonly employed on sports turf during late autumn and winter. It's important to note that at certain concentrations, blackening of moss may occur.

Environmental and Soil Remediation
Used in environmental applications, such as in the treatment of contaminated soil or as a chemical agent for reducing the bioavailability of heavy metals. It helps to immobilise harmful substances, such as arsenic or lead, preventing them from leaching into water systems and reducing environmental pollution
