Uses(1) Zinc sulfate heptahydrate can be used as mordant dyeing, wood preservatives, paper bleaching agent, it can be also used in medicine, synthetic fibers, electrolysis, electroplating, pesticides and production of zinc, etc. (2) It can be used for the preparation of zinc medicine, astringents, etc. (3) It can be used as mordant, wood preservatives, bleach paper industry, it is also used in medicine, synthetic fibers, electrolysis, electroplating, pesticides and production of zinc, etc. (4) Zinc sulfate is zinc supplement of dietary, the component of many enzymes, proteins, such as ribose animals involved in carbohydrate and fat metabolism, and it can catalyze interconversion of pyruvate and lactate, it can promote growth. Zinc deficiency can lead to incomplete keratosis, stunted growth and deterioration of the hair, and it can affect animal reproductive function. (5) Zinc sulfate is allowed to use in food supplements of zinc. China allows to use it in salt, the used of amount is 500mg /kg; in foods for infants and young children is 113~318mg/kg; in dairy products is 130~250mg/kg; in grains and their products is 80~160rag/kg; in liquid and drink milk drinks is 22.5~44mg/kg. (6) It is mainly used for man-made fibers coagulating liquid. In printing and dyeing industry, it is used as mordant, salt-stained blue Lamine alkali agent. It is main raw material of manufacturing inorganic pigments (e.g. lithopone), other zinc salts (e.g. zinc stearate, basic zinc carbonate) and zinc-containing catalyst. It is used as wood preservatives and leather, bone glue clarifying and preserving agents. In pharmaceutical industry, it is used as emetic. It can also be used to prevent diseases and fruit tree nurseries and cable manufacturing zinc fertilizer and so on. It can be used as nutritional supplements (zinc enhancer) and the like in food-grade product. (7) It can be used as analytical reagents, mordant and the phosphor matrix.

Useszinc sulfate is a cosmetic astringent and biocide produced through the reaction of sulfuric acid with zinc. It can cause irritation to the skin and mucous membranes, and may cause an allergic reaction.

UsesPreparation of complexometric titrant

UsesAs mordant in calico-printing; preserving wood and skins; with hypochlorite for bleaching paper; manufacture of lithopone and other zinc salts; clarifying glue; electrodepositing Zn; also as reagent in analytical chemistry.

UsesZinc sulfate heptahydrate is widely used as a coagulant in the production of rayon. It finds an application in the manufacturing of calico printing, wood preservation and lithopone. It is the source of zinc which is supplied in animal feeds, fertilizers and agricultural sprays. It is utilized as electrolytes for zinc plating and surface treating agents. It is also used as a mordant in dyeing, preservative for skin and leather and in medicine as an astringent and emetic.

UsesZinc sulfate (ZnSO47H2O) is also known as zinc vitriol or white copper. In addition to being used to make rayon, zinc sulfate is used as a wood preservative, a dietary supplement, an animal feed, and as a mordant to prevent dyes from running in printed textiles. It can also be used to stanch bleeding.

General DescriptionZinc sulfate heptahydrate has various industrial applications. It is widely employed as an electrolyte for zinc electroplating and for the storage of solar energy in various solar appliances. Its crystals exhibit diamagnetism.
