Zinc Sulphate or Zinc Sulfate (ZnSO4) General

Zinc Sulfate (ZnSO4) is a colorless crystalline, water-soluble chemical compound. The hydrated form of the item, ZnSO4-7H2O, the mineral goslarite, was historically known as "white vitriol" and can be prepared by reacting zinc with aqueous sulfuric acid. It may also be prepared by adding solid zinc to a copper (II) sulfate solution.

Zn + CuSO4 → ZnSO4 + Cu

It is used to supply zinc in animal feeds, fertilizers, and agricultural sprays. It is used in making lithopone, in coagulation baths for rayon, in electrolytes for zinc plating, as a mordant in dyeing, as a preservative for skins and leather and in medicine as an astringent and emetic.

Zinc is important for growth and for the development and health of body tissues.

It is also used to treat and to prevent zinc deficiency. Another natural form of this heptahydrate is known as mineral zincmelanterite (Zn,Cu,Fe)SO4-7H2O (structurally different from goslarite. Lower hydrates of zinc sulfate are rarely found in nature as minerals: bianchite (Zn,Fe)SO4-6H2O, boyleite (Zn,Mg)SO4·4H2O and gunningite (Zn,Mn)SO4-H2O.

An aqueous solution of Zinc Sulphate is claimed to be effective at removing moss from roofs. Spraying a mixture on moss will allow the wind to simply blow off the remaining debris, however it is not recommended for use on lawns as it is as effective at removing grass.

Uses:

It is used as raw material for production of lithopone. It is also used in synthetic fiber industry, zinc plating, pesticides. It is mainly used in trace element fertilizer and feed additive, etc.

It is used to supply zinc in animal feeds, fertilizers, and agricultural sprays. ZnSO4·7H2O is used in making lithopone, in coagulation baths for rayon, in electrolytes for zinc plating, as a mordant in dyeing, as a preservative for skins and leather and in medicine as an astringent and emetic.

Its spray treatments can affect growth, yield and quality parameters of rapeseed (oil and protein). The number of seeds per pod, the number of pods per plant and the harvest index increased significantly with increasing Zn applications.

It is used in pharmacology as a dietary supplementation; supplement to IV solutions given for TPN; treatment or prevention of zinc deficiencies. Ophthalmic solution used as mild astringent for relief of eye irritation. It is also used for treatment of acrodermatitis enteropathica and delayed wound healing associated with zinc deficiency; treatment of acne, rheumatoid arthritis, Wilson's disease.
