Uses of magnesium sulfate in building materials, industry and agriculture

1. The use of magnesium sulfate in building materials

After being dissolved in water, magnesium sulfate can react with light burned powder to form magnesium oxysulfide cement. Magnesium oxysulfide cement has good fire resistance, heat insulation, durability and environmental protection, and is used in many fields such as fire door core panels, exterior wall insulation panels, siliceous modified insulation panels, and fire protection panels.

Second, the use of magnesium sulfate in industry

Used in tanning, explosives, fertilizer, papermaking, porcelain, printing dyes, lead-acid batteries and other industries. Magnesium sulfate can be used as a bath salt just like other minerals such as potassium, calcium, amino acid salt, and silicate.

Third, the use of magnesium sulfate in agriculture

(1) Fertilizer: In agriculture and gardening, magnesium sulfate is used to improve magnesium-deficient soil (magnesium is a basic element of chlorophyll molecule), and is most commonly used for potted plants or crops containing magnesium, such as potatoes, roses, tomatoes , Chili and hemp. The advantage of using magnesium sulfate over other magnesium magnesium sulfate soil amendments (such as dolomitic lime) is its high solubility.

(2) Feed: Feed grade magnesium sulfate is used as a magnesium supplement in feed processing. Magnesium is an indispensable factor in the process of bone formation and muscle contraction in livestock and poultry. It is an activator of various enzymes in livestock and poultry. It plays an extremely important role in material metabolism and nerve function in livestock and poultry. If the body of livestock and poultry lacks magnesium, it will cause material metabolism and neurological disorders, supply imbalance, affect the growth and development of livestock and poultry, and even lead to death.
