Overview

XRD Chemical is a professional Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate manufacturer and supplier in China, offering high-purity Epsom salt (MgSO₄·7H₂O, 99% min) for agriculture, animal feed, pharmaceutical, and personal care applications.

Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, commonly known as Epsom salt, is a white, odorless, crystalline solid with a molecular weight of 246.47 g/mol . It is highly soluble in water (approximately 710 g/L at 20°C) and its aqueous solution is neutral. The heptahydrate form is the most common and widely used grade of magnesium sulfate, valued for its versatility and ease of handling .

In agriculture, Epsom salt is widely used as a magnesium and sulfur fertilizer to correct magnesium deficiency in crops such as potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and roses . In animal feed, it provides bioavailable magnesium for livestock nutrition. Pharmaceutical-grade magnesium sulfate heptahydrate meets USP and BP standards for use as an electrolyte replenisher. It is also a popular ingredient in bath salts, foot soaks, and personal care products for soothing sore muscles. Other applications include tofu coagulation, textile manufacturing, and paper production .

FAQ

Q What is Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate (Epsom Salt)?

Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate (MgSO₄·7H₂O), commonly known as Epsom salt, is a white, odorless crystalline solid with a molecular weight of 246.47 g/mol. It contains approximately 9.9% magnesium and 13% sulfur. It is highly soluble in water and is the most widely used form of magnesium sulfate across agriculture, feed, pharmaceutical, and personal care applications.

Q What is the difference between heptahydrate and anhydrous magnesium sulfate?

Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (MgSO₄·7H₂O) contains seven water molecules and has approximately 9.9% magnesium content with high solubility, making it ideal for agriculture, bath salts, and pharmaceutical use. Anhydrous magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄) contains no crystal water, has higher magnesium content (approximately 20%), and is highly hygroscopic. It is primarily used as a desiccant in organic synthesis rather than for agricultural or personal care applications.

Q How is Epsom salt used in agriculture?

Epsom salt is widely used in agriculture and gardening to correct magnesium deficiency in soil. Magnesium is an essential component of the chlorophyll molecule, and deficiency causes yellowing of leaves and stunted growth. It is most effective on magnesium-demanding crops such as potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, roses, and citrus. Epsom salt can be applied directly to soil or as a foliar spray, and its high solubility makes magnesium immediately available to plants.

Q What are the personal care and pharmaceutical applications of Epsom salt?

Epsom salt is a popular ingredient in bath salts and foot soaks used to soothe sore muscles, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation. Pharmaceutical-grade magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is used as an electrolyte replenisher and in medical settings for managing magnesium deficiency. It is also used in flotation therapy, where high concentrations of Epsom salt increase water buoyancy for sensory deprivation experiences.

Q What are the industrial uses of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate?

In industrial applications, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is used in textile manufacturing, paper production, as a coagulant in tofu production, and in the formulation of fireproofing agents. It is also used in leather tanning and as a raw material for producing other magnesium compounds. Its neutral pH, consistent quality, and ease of handling make it suitable for a wide range of industrial processes.
