The global demand for Ferrous Sulfate Market is presumed to reach the market size of nearly USD XX MN by 2028 from USD XX MN in 2021 with a CAGR of XX% under the study period 2022 - 2028.
The ferrous sulfate, often known as iron (II) sulfate, has the formula FeSO4xH2O. There are two types of ferrous sulfate: hydrous and anhydrous. Ferrous sulfate is a hydrated salt. Monohydrate, tetrahydrate, pentahydrate, and heptahydrate are the hydrous forms of ferrous sulfate. Monohydrate and heptahydrate ferrous sulfate are the most commonly utilized hydrous ferrous sulfates. Heptahydrate is the most common form of both hydrous and anhydrous ferrous sulfate. Heptahydrate is converted to ferrous sulfate monohydrate by heating it over 65 degrees Celsius. Iron sulfate heptahydrate is made from ilmenite ore, used to produce titanium dioxide or steel pickling. It is employed as a coagulant in treating sewage waste, drinking water, industrial effluents, and a reducing agent in treating hazardous waste. It's also utilized in the cement industry to lower the amount of hexavalent chromium in cement binding agents, which can be dangerous. The reaction of elemental iron with sulfuric acid produces ferrous sulfate and hydrogen gas, resulting in anhydrous ferrous sulfate. The oxidation of pyrites is another approach, which is used to repair iron deficits in plants and soils as well as to destroy moss.
Market Dynamics
Ferrous sulfate has grown in importance as a therapy for treating and preventing iron-deficient anemia throughout the years. Increasing demand for ferrous sulfate in the water treatment sector is a significant factor driving the growth of the global ferrous sulfate market due to the increasing production capacity across the globe.
