Magnesium Sulphate

Magnesium sulphate (MgSO₄) is a highly soluble inorganic compound used in water treatment to balance hardness and improve coagulation efficiency. It appears as a white crystalline solid and is widely utilized to control alkalinity and prevent scaling in water systems. Magnesium sulphate also helps in nutrient replenishment for biological wastewater treatment. It is environmentally safe and plays a crucial role in industrial effluent treatment, agriculture, and pharmaceutical applications. Chemical Formula: MgSO₄ Chemical Code: CAS Number: 7487-88-9

Used in water treatment to adjust hardness levels

Water hardness is primarily caused by the presence of calcium (Ca²⁺) and magnesium (Mg²⁺) ions.

Prevents scaling in boilers and cooling systems

Scaling is the accumulation of mineral deposits—primarily calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂), and silica (SiO₂)—on heat exchange surfaces in boilers and cooling towers.
