황산마그네슘

용도1) 공업적으로는 해수 또는 칼리 공업에서 부차 생성된다. 독일에서는 칼륨염 채취시 결정하는 키제르석을 뜨거운 물에 녹이고 용액을 정치 냉각하여 7수화염을 결정화시키고 있다. 2) 산화마그네슘 또는 히드록시탄산마그네슘을 황산에 녹인 후 미량으로 존재하는 중금속 불순물을 제거하기 위해 마그네슘염을 약간 과잉으로 가해 가열해서 거른다. 모액을 다시 농축하여 공랭하면 7수화염이 결정화한다. 이것을 걸러, 분리하여 자연 건조한다. 3) 무수염은 함수염을 적열 탈수하여 얻어진다.

용도종이의 충전제, 비단의 증가량제, 내화 목면천의 제조, 매염제, 의약으로서 이용된다. 6국 기재의 의약품 : MgSO4ㆍ7H2O. 강열할 때 MgSO4로서 99.5% 이상 함유. 염류 하제로서 내복. 용량 : 1회 8g, 1일 15g. 경련 진정, 진통, 마취 목적에서는 주사제로서 보통 1회 1g을 이용한다.

개요Magnesium sulfate is an inorganic salt (chemical compound) containing magnesium, sulfur and oxygen, with the formula MgSO4. It is strongly hygroscopic and often encountered as the heptahydrate sulfate mineral epsomite (MgSO4•7H2O), commonly called Epsom salt. And the monohydrate, MgSO4•H2O, is found as the mineral kieserite. In gardening and other agriculture, magnesium sulfate is used to correct a magnesium or sulfur deficiency in soil. In food preparation, magnesium sulfate is used as a brewing salt in beer production or used as a coagulant for making tofu. In chemistry, anhydrous magnesium sulfate is commonly used as a desiccant in organic synthesis due to its affinity for water. For Marine use, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is used to maintain the magnesium concentration in marine aquaria which contain large amounts of stony corals. For medicine use, it is used in pregnant women to control seizures due to certain complications of pregnancy (eg, severe toxemia) and to control high blood pressure, severe brain function problems (encephalopathy), and seizures in children who have sudden, severe inflammation of the kidneys (acute nephritis). Besides, magnesium sulfate is also used as a laxative to relieve occasional constipation.

용도Magnesium sulfate is used widely in several industries including fertilizer, cement, textile, chemicals, and medicine. In the cement industry, it is used in manufacturing oxysulfate cement. In medicine, it is an analgesic and cathartic. An important application of anhydrous magnesium sulfate in the laboratory involves drying organic solvents required for syntheses and GC analysis. In the textile industry, magnesium sulfate is used in finishing composition for dressing cotton; for weighting and sizing silk; as a mordant for fixing basic dyestuffs on wool; and in fireproofing fabrics. It also is a component of certain types of electrolytic plating baths; of various photographic solutions; of cosmetic lotions. It is a catalyst carrier; a dietary supplement in cattle feed; a coagulant for rubber and plastic; and is used in making citric acid and several magnesium salts, such as magnesium stearate.
