Overview

XRD Chemical is a professional Magnesium Sulfate Monohydrate manufacturer and supplier in China, offering high-purity MgSO₄·H₂O powder (98% min) for fertilizer, industrial, and feed applications.

Magnesium sulfate monohydrate is a white powder with one water of crystallization, positioned between the anhydrous form and the heptahydrate form (Epsom salt) in terms of magnesium concentration [citation:5]. It contains approximately 17% magnesium and 22% sulfur, making it a highly effective source of both essential nutrients for agricultural use. The monohydrate form offers a practical balance of higher magnesium content than heptahydrate while maintaining better handling properties than the highly hygroscopic anhydrous form.

The primary application of magnesium sulfate monohydrate is in agriculture as a magnesium and sulfur fertilizer, particularly in the production of compound fertilizers and for direct soil application to correct magnesium deficiency in crops [citation:1]. It is also used in animal feed as a source of bioavailable magnesium, in industrial processes, and as a raw material for producing other magnesium compounds. The monohydrate form is valued for its intermediate properties — more concentrated than heptahydrate but less moisture-sensitive than anhydrous magnesium sulfate [citation:5].

Why Choose XRD Magnesium Sulfate Monohydrate:

• 98% purity, white powder form
• Higher magnesium content (~17%) than heptahydrate (9.9%)
• Less hygroscopic than anhydrous — easier handling and storage
• Effective magnesium and sulfur source for compound fertilizers
• Feed grade available for livestock nutrition
• Also suitable for industrial and chemical applications
• Free samples available for evaluation
• COA and MSDS documents available for download

FAQ

Q What is Magnesium Sulfate Monohydrate?

Magnesium Sulfate Monohydrate (MgSO₄·H₂O) is a white powder containing one water molecule of crystallization. It has a magnesium content of approximately 17%, positioned between heptahydrate (Epsom salt, 9.9% Mg) and anhydrous magnesium sulfate (20% Mg). This intermediate form offers a practical balance of higher nutrient concentration and good handling properties .

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

The three forms differ in their water of crystallization and magnesium content. Heptahydrate (MgSO₄·7H₂O) contains seven water molecules and has the lowest magnesium content (9.9%). Monohydrate (MgSO₄·H₂O) contains one water molecule and offers medium magnesium content (17%). Anhydrous (MgSO₄) contains no crystal water, has the highest magnesium content (20%), and is highly hygroscopic. Monohydrate strikes a balance — more concentrated than heptahydrate but less sensitive to moisture than anhydrous .

Q How is magnesium sulfate monohydrate used in agriculture?

Magnesium sulfate monohydrate is widely used in agriculture as a magnesium and sulfur fertilizer. It is particularly suitable for producing compound fertilizers and for direct manual application to correct magnesium deficiency in crops. Magnesium is a core component of the chlorophyll molecule, and sulfur is essential for protein synthesis. Crops such as potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and oilseeds benefit significantly from magnesium sulfate application .

Q Is magnesium sulfate monohydrate suitable for animal feed?

Yes, feed-grade magnesium sulfate monohydrate is an excellent source of bioavailable magnesium for livestock nutrition. Magnesium is essential for enzyme activation, bone development, and metabolic functions in animals. The monohydrate form provides higher magnesium concentration compared to heptahydrate, reducing the volume needed in feed formulations.

Q How should magnesium sulfate monohydrate be stored?

Magnesium sulfate monohydrate should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in sealed containers. While less hygroscopic than the anhydrous form, it can still absorb moisture under high humidity conditions. Keep away from water and moisture. Under proper storage conditions, shelf life is 12-24 months.
