Zinc Sulphate
Zinc Sulphate by Tricon - Essential zinc source for health, agriculture, and industrial applications
Zinc sulphate (ZnSO₄) is an inorganic compound widely used to treat zinc deficiency in humans, enhance crop nutrition, and supplement animal feed. It plays a vital role in supporting immune function, wound healing, protein synthesis, DNA formation, and sensory functions such as taste and smell. Due to its high solubility in water, it is easily absorbed and efficiently utilized in medical, agricultural, and industrial applications.
In healthcare, zinc sulphate is commonly prescribed to prevent and treat zinc deficiency and is often used alongside oral rehydration therapy for managing diarrhea. It supports growth, immune defense, and skin health, helping manage conditions such as acne and eczema. While generally safe at recommended doses, excessive intake may cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or headache. Overdose can lead to toxicity, so proper dosing is essential.
In agriculture, zinc sulphate is an important micronutrient fertilizer used to correct zinc-deficient soils. It promotes chlorophyll formation, enzyme activation, and improved crop yield. It is commonly applied through soil treatment or foliar spraying for rapid nutrient absorption.
Industrial applications include use as a coagulant in rayon production, an electrolyte in zinc electroplating, and a preservative in leather processing. It is also used as a moss control agent on roofs and structures.
Zinc sulphate is typically available in monohydrate (ZnSO₄·H₂O) and heptahydrate (ZnSO₄·7H₂O) forms, appearing as colorless crystals or white powder. Proper handling requires gloves and eye protection, and it should be stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture and sunlight to maintain stability.
Key Types and Characteristics of Di Calcium Phosphate
Zinc sulphate is commonly available in three forms: anhydrous (ZnSO₄), monohydrate (ZnSO₄·H₂O), and heptahydrate (ZnSO₄·7H₂O). The monohydrate and heptahydrate forms are most widely used in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and feed applications due to their high solubility and stability. It appears as white powder or colorless crystalline granules.
Zinc sulphate is used as a nutritional supplement to prevent and treat zinc deficiency. It supports immune function, growth, enzyme activity, and wound healing. In food fortification, it enhances the nutritional value of cereals and dietary supplements. Controlled dosage ensures effective absorption and prevents adverse effects.
Pharmaceutically, zinc sulphate is used in tablets and syrups for managing zinc deficiency and supporting diarrhea treatment. Industrially, it functions as an electrolyte in zinc electroplating, a coagulant in rayon production, and a preservative in leather processing. It is also used in water treatment and chemical manufacturing.
Zinc sulphate serves as an essential trace mineral supplement in livestock and poultry feed. It promotes healthy growth, immune support, reproductive performance, and improved feed efficiency. Proper supplementation prevents zinc deficiency-related disorders while maintaining optimal mineral balance in animals.
Zinc sulphate appears as white crystalline powder or colorless granules and is highly soluble in water. It is stable under normal storage conditions but may cause eye and skin irritation upon contact. Excessive intake can lead to toxicity. Proper protective equipment and controlled handling are recommended.
Zinc sulphate is produced by reacting zinc metal, zinc oxide, or zinc carbonate with sulfuric acid. The resulting solution is purified, crystallized, and dried to obtain the desired hydration form and grade suitable for pharmaceutical, agricultural, or industrial applications.
