What is Magnesium Sulfate?

Properties and Uses of Magnesium Sulfate / Epsom Salt

In agriculture, magnesium sulfate is used to increase the magnesium and sulfur content of soil. Due to its excellent water solubility, the compound dissociates into magnesium and sulfate ions when dissolved. It is often used for magnesium-requiring crops such as potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, peppers and citrus fruits such as limes. An additional advantage of Epsom salts is that it is pH neutral, which means that the soil structure is not affected and stabilizers are not required.

In chemistry, magnesium sulfate is often used as a drying agent in organic synthesis because of its strong water-absorbing properties. The hydrated residue can be easily removed after use by filtration, decantation, or, if the boiling point of the solution is low enough, by distillation. Other suitable drying agents are sodium sulfate and calcium sulfate .

The substance can also be used in the production of specific sustainable cement.

Magnesium sulphate is also used to maintain magnesium concentrations in certain water solutions, for example in laboratory analyses or specialist use. Regular monitoring of the magnesium content is recommended.
