essential information

Zinc sulfate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula ZnSO4, which is a colorless or white crystal, particle or powder.
Zinc sulfate is mainly used as a raw material for the production of pigments such as lithopone, lithopone, and other zinc compounds. It is also used as a nutrient for animals with zinc deficiency, as a feed additive for animal husbandry, as a zinc fertilizer (trace element fertilizer) for crops, as an important material for artificial fibers, as an electrolyte for electrolytic production of metallic zinc, as a mordant in the textile industry, as a medical emetic, astringent, fungicide, and as a preservative for wood and leather.

application area 
Industry
It is the main raw material for manufacturing lithopone and zinc salts, and can also be used as a mordant for printing and dyeing, a preservative for wood and leather, and an important auxiliary raw material for producing viscose fibers and vinylon fibers. In addition, it has applications in the electroplating and electrolysis industries and can also be used to manufacture cables.
Cooling water in industry requires a large amount of water. The cooling water in a closed circulating cooling system cannot corrode or scale metals, so it needs to be treated. This process is called water quality stabilization, where zinc sulfate is used as a water quality stabilizer.  
 
medicine
Oral zinc sulfate can correct zinc deficiency and restore enzyme system function. Zinc ions can precipitate proteins, have astringent and preservative effects when applied topically, and can assist in the formation of granulation tissue. Medicinal zinc sulfate is suitable for treating intestinal acrodermatitis, oral ulcers, chronic ulcers, conjunctivitis, etc. caused by zinc deficiency. But sharing with penicillamine can weaken the latter's effect. Zinc sulfate monohydrate can be used as a zinc supplement in feed.
 
Agriculture

It can be used to prevent diseases in fruit tree nurseries and is also a commonly used fertilizer to supplement crop zinc trace element fertilizers. It can be used as base fertilizer, foliar fertilizer, etc. Zinc is one of the essential nutrients for plants. Corn with zinc deficiency is prone to white flower seedlings, which can stop growing or even cause seedling death when severely deficient in zinc. Especially for some sandy loam soils or fields with high pH values, zinc fertilizers such as zinc sulfate should be applied to increase yield. Fertilization method: Take 0.04-0.06 kilograms of zinc fertilizer, mix with 1 kilogram of water, mix with 10 kilograms of seeds, and bury for 2-3 hours before sowing. Apply zinc fertilizer to the rhizosphere layer before sowing, at a rate of 0.75-1kg per acre. If the leaf color is light during the seedling stage, zinc fertilizer can be sprayed at a rate of 0.1 kilograms per mu.

Packaging, Storage, Transportation, and Safety
operation
Sealed operation, local exhaust. Prevent dust from being released into the workshop air. Operators must undergo specialized training and strictly adhere to operating procedures. It is recommended that operators wear self-priming filter dust masks, chemical safety goggles, rubber acid and alkali resistant clothing, and rubber acid and alkali resistant gloves. Avoid generating dust. Avoid contact with oxidants. Equip with emergency response equipment for leaks. Empty containers may contain residual harmful substances.
Storage
Store in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Stay away from sources of fire and heat. Protect from direct sunlight. Sealed packaging. It should be stored separately from oxidants and avoid mixing storage. The storage area should be equipped with suitable materials to contain leaked materials.
transport

When shipping, the packaging should be intact and the loading should be secure. During transportation, it is necessary to ensure that the container does not leak, collapse, fall, or be damaged. It is strictly prohibited to mix and transport with oxidants, edible chemicals, etc. During transportation, it should be protected from direct sunlight, rain, and high temperatures. The vehicle should be thoroughly cleaned after transportation. During road transportation, it is necessary to follow the prescribed route.
