Application | zinc sulfate is mainly used as a raw material for preparing pigment lithopone, Lithopone and other zinc compounds, it is also used as a nutrient for animals with zinc deficiency, a feed additive for animal husbandry, a zinc fertilizer (trace element fertilizer) for crops, an important material for man-made fibers, an electrolyte for electrolytic production of metal zinc, a mordant in the textile industry, medicine emetics, astringents, fungicides, wood and leather preservatives. From zinc or zinc oxide and sulfuric acid or from the sphalerite after baking in the reflector after extraction and purification. used as printing and dyeing mordant, wood preservative, paper bleaching agent, also used in medicine, artificial fiber, electrolysis, electroplating, pesticide and the production of zinc salt |
application field | Industrial zinc sulfate is the main raw material for manufacturing Lithopone and zinc salt, and can also be used as printing and dyeing mordant, wood and leather preservatives, but also the production of viscose fiber and Vinylon fiber important auxiliary raw materials. In addition, it has applications in the electroplating and electrolysis industries, and can also be used to manufacture cables. Cooling water is the maximum amount of water used in industry. In the closed loop cooling system of cooling water on the metal can not have corrosion and scaling, so to be treated, this process is called water quality stability, zinc sulfate used as a water quality stabilizer. Medicine Oral zinc sulfate can correct zinc deficiency, restore the function of enzyme system. Zinc ions can precipitate protein, external use has the function of convergence and preservation, and can help the formation of granulation tissue. Medicinal zinc sulfate is suitable for the treatment of enteropathic acrodermatitis, Aphthous ulcer, chronic ulcer and conjunctivitis caused by zinc deficiency. However, co-administration with penicillamine may attenuate the latter effect. Zinc sulfate monohydrate can be used as a zinc supplement in feed. Agriculture can be used to prevent diseases of fruit tree nursery, is also a kind of supplement crop zinc trace element fertilizer commonly used fertilizer, can be used as base fertilizer, foliar fertilizer. Zinc is one of the essential nutrient elements of plants, zinc deficiency in maize prone to white flower seedlings, serious zinc deficiency stop growth or even seedling death, especially for some sandy loam soil or pH value is too high in the field should be added zinc sulfate and other zinc fertilizer, increased application of zinc fertilizer also increased yield. Fertilization method: take 0.04~0.06kg of zinc fertilizer, 1kg of water, seed dressing 10kg, pile up 2~3 hours of sowing. Before sowing, the zinc fertilizer was applied to the rhizosphere layer, 0.75~1kg per mu. If the leaf color is light at the seedling stage, zinc fertilizer can be sprayed with 0.1 per mu. |
pharmacological effects | Zinc is a component of many enzyme systems, such as carbonic anhydrase, alcohol dehydrogenase, and alkaline phosphatase, zinc deficiency can lead to abnormal enzyme function. Oral zinc sulfate can correct zinc deficiency and restore the function of enzyme system. Zinc ions can precipitate protein, external use has the function of convergence and preservation, and can help the formation of granulation tissue. It is suitable for the treatment of enteropathic acrodermatitis, Aphthous ulcer, chronic ulcer and conjunctivitis caused by zinc deficiency. However, co-administration with penicillamine may attenuate the latter effect. Plasma, liver, pancreas, and bone tissue are sites of rapid zinc exchange and storage and are sensitive to changes in daily zinc levels. Zinc affects animal growth, development, and reproductive function, bone and blood formation, and nucleic acid, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism. And hair growth, skin health, wound healing. In these tissues, zinc binds primarily to enzymes and acts as an essential component and activator of enzymes. Zinc is a molecular component of carbonic anhydrase, carboxypeptidase, glutamate and lactate dehydrogenase of the pancreas. Can activate uricase, dipeptidase in intestinal fluid and other enzymes. It can indirectly affect the reproductive function through the action of pituitary and gonadotropin, and zinc sulfate monohydrate can be used as zinc supplement in feed. |
indication | (1) astringent preservative: eye drops can be used for conjunctivitis, trachoma, blepharitis, etc. (2) oral stimulation of gastric mucosa caused by reflex Vomit, can be used as emetic drugs, has been used less. (3) treatment of zinc deficiency: Zinc is a component of many important enzymes in human body, such as carbonic anhydrase and alkaline phosphatase, which is an indispensable trace element in human body. Zinc supplementation can treat zinc deficiency, such as dwarfism, enteropathic acrodermatitis, zinc deficiency caused by long-term intravenous nutrition. (4) treatment of diseases that may be associated with zinc deficiency: such as acne vulgaris, skin ulcers (venous, arterial, leprosy), psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, chronic eczema, oral ulcers, alopecia, olfactory and taste disorders, etc. (5) zinc can also be used for the auxiliary treatment of axillary osmidrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, gastric ulcer, migraine, impotence, common cold and acute leukemia, etc, prevention of abortion and multiple congenital malformations. |
dosage and usage | eye drops: 3~4 times a day. Emetic: 1 oral 0.2~2G, prepared into aqueous solution. Treatment of other diseases: usually oral 0.2~0.6g/day, divided into 2~3 times, with dilute solution after meals, treatment for 2~4 weeks, long-term treatment can be reduced to 10~20mg daily. Treatment of acne should be combined with erythromycin (oral) and benzoyl peroxide (external). |
preparation method | zinc sulfate is formed when zinc or zinc oxide is dissolved in sulfuric acid: Zn H2SO4 → ZnSO4 H2 raw zinc sulfate can also be obtained by roasting zinc sulfide (sphalerite) in air: ZnS 2O2 → ZnSO4 The substitution reaction of zinc with inactive metal sulfate (such as copper sulfate) solution can also produce zinc sulfate: Zn CuSO4 → ZnSO4 Cu |
precautions for storage | store in a dry warehouse. When transporting, cover should be provided to prevent sun, rain and moisture. Water can be used to rescue fire. |
