GENERAL
Diamond Brand® Dried Ferrous Sulfate Heptahydrate
(FeSO4•7H2O) is also called iron sulfate, green vitriol, or
copperas. Ferrous Sulfate Heptahydrate is derived from the
processing of ilmenite ore in the manufacture of the paint
pigment Titanium Dioxide, or as a co-product from the pickling of
steel. At QC Corporation, we evaporate all exterior moisture from
each crystal, via rotary dryers, to produce a free-flowing Dried
Ferrous Sulfate Heptahydrate, containing no exterior free water.
APPLICATIONS
Diamond Brand® Ferrous Sulfate products are used as a reducing
agent in the treatment of hazardous wastes and as a coagulant
and flocculent in the treatment of sewage waste, industrial
effluents, raw drinking water and other wastewater sources.
In addition, it is used as a reducing agent in the removal of
phosphates and odor causing hydrogen sulfide from various
waste sources.
The Agricultural, Lawn and Garden, and Turf Management industries use Diamond Brand® Ferrous Sulfate to correct iron chlorosis or deficiencies in plants and soils, to eliminate moss, to reduce alkalinity, and as a trace element or micronutrient in fertilizers. In addition, it is used in the diets of swine, poultry and other animals as a feed supplement, to prevent anemia caused by iron deficiencies.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Dried Ferrous Sulfate Heptahydrate is free-flowing, has
consistent iron, sulfur, water and oxygen contents, and goes into
solution rapidly. Dried Ferrous Sulfate Heptahydrate has the tendency
to compact and/or cake (becomes hard) under various
shipping and storage conditions, particularly in extremely hot
environments that exceed 75º F. QC Corporation can add up to
2% Calcium Carbonate as an anti-caking agent.
