Summary
Manganese sulfate monohydrate (MnSO₄·H₂O) enhances crop yield via chlorophyll synthesis, improves soil quality, and serves as a feed additive for livestock. Critical in electrolytic manganese production, paint drying, and ceramics. Acts as a pharmaceutical excipient and microbial culture nutrient. Requires controlled dosage due to toxicity risks.
Applications of Manganese Sulfate Monohydrate
(MnSO₄·H₂O) Manganese sulfate monohydrate is an important chemical raw material with a wide range of applications. The main applications are as follows:
Agriculture：
Micronutrient Fertilizer: Manganese is a key element in chlorophyll synthesis in plants, enhancing photosynthesis, promoting crop growth, and increasing yield. It can be used as base fertilizer, seed soaking, seed coating, top dressing, or foliar spraying, especially suitable for manganese-deficient soils or crops with high manganese requirements (such as wheat, corn, rice, and fruit trees).
Improving Crop Quality: It helps improve crop resistance to stress, reduce disease occurrence, and improve fruit quality (e.g., increasing fruit sugar content and improving color).
Animal Husbandry and Feed Industry：
Feed Additive: Provides animals with essential manganese, promoting bone development, reproductive function, and immune system health, improving animal production performance and meat quality. It is commonly used in poultry and livestock feed.
Industrial Applications：
Chemical Raw Materials: Used in the production of electrolytic manganese, manganese salts, and other manganese compounds. It is an important raw material for manufacturing paint and ink driers (such as manganese naphthenate) and synthetic fatty acid catalysts.
Other Applications: Used in the paper, ceramics, printing and dyeing, and ore flotation industries to improve product performance or as an auxiliary agent.
Pharmaceutical and Health Applications：
Pharmaceutical Excipients: Used as a source of manganese in some pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements to supplement the trace elements needed by the human body. However, the dosage must be strictly controlled to avoid excessive intake.
Biological Culture Media: Added as a nutrient in microbial fermentation and cell culture to support cell growth and metabolism.
Precautions: Manganese sulfate monohydrate has a certain degree of toxicity. Safety regulations must be followed when using it. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Store in a cool, dry place, away from fire and heat sources.
