Magnesium sulfate is an inorganic salt containing magnesium, sulfur and oxygen, with the chemical formula MgSO4, exists in the form of a white crystal that is easily soluble in water.

Epsom salt, commonly used to soak a tired body or tired feet in warm water, refers to magnesium sulfate.

Things to know:

It was once used as a coagulant in jelly production, as the magnesium ions in Epsom salt play a role in creating the jelly gel. Even today, Epsom salt is used as a coagulant in curdling the soybean water in tofu.

The name Epsom salt comes from the name of a bitter well in England after two Dutch diplomats first discovered it in 1629. They said: "It is a much cheaper and easier way to cure various diseases in the body than the hot spring, which has become widely known among the general public," and urged the king to use it instead of "present water."

Epsom salts , also known as magnesium salts, contain naturally occurring magnesium, sulfur, and oxygen. Their crystal structure is similar to that of ordinary salt. They differ from regular salt in that they have a bitter taste and are not suitable for cooking. Epsom salts are primarily used for therapeutic and detoxifying purposes.

Agricultural use:

Magnesium sulfate is used in magnesium-poor soils, such as soils that have been subjected to prolonged and intensive use of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers. It is also used in plants that require more magnesium, such as fruit trees, vegetables, cotton, legumes, and peanuts. Due to its rapid action, magnesium sulfate is particularly suitable for use on neutral and alkaline soils.

In aquaculture:

In aquaculture, magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is used to supplement magnesium in ponds with shrimp, fish, and other aquatic animals. It quickly compensates for magnesium deficiencies in aqueous products at all stages of development because it dissolves quickly in water and is absorbed quickly and efficiently.

In industry:

Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is used as a raw material for the production of animal feed or micronutrients. It can also be used to produce printing inks, dyes, and even disinfectants, among other things.

Magnesium sulfate - MgSO4 is also used in the treatment of wastewater from many different industries with the effect of neutralization, pH stabilization, electroplating, use in the paper industry, animal feed production, fertilizer production.

In the medical industry, magnesium sulfate is used to relieve muscle pain in humans due to swelling or to make laxatives.

Storage conditions:

Chemical magnesium sulfate - MgSO4 is relatively harmless in direct contact, so it is sufficient to wear gloves and a mask during contact procedures.

Chemical magnesium sulfate - MgSO4 should be stored separately from human and animal food, especially out of reach of children.

Store in a cool, dry place, avoid moisture, direct sunlight, air or high humidity bones.
