Whatsapp Order

Manganese Sulphate Monohydrate is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula MnSO₄·H₂O. It appears as a pale pink crystalline powder and is highly soluble in water. It is primarily used as a source of manganese, an essential micronutrient, in fertilizers, animal feed, and industrial processes. This monohydrate form is the most stable and commonly used in agriculture and feed-grade applications. It also finds use in various chemical syntheses, electroplating, and as a reagent in laboratories.

Manganese Sulphate Monohydrate

Primary Uses

Agriculture and Fertilizer Industry

Micronutrient Fertilizer: Used as a manganese supplement in soil to correct manganese deficiency in crops like cereals, fruits, vegetables, and legumes.
Foliar Spray and Soil Application: Applied directly to plants or soil to improve photosynthesis, chlorophyll production, and enzyme activation.
Component in NPK Blends: Included in multi-nutrient formulations for balanced crop nutrition.

Animal Feed Industry

Feed Additive: Serves as a manganese supplement in poultry, swine, cattle, and aquaculture feed to support bone development, enzyme function, and reproductive health.
Premix Formulations: Used in vitamin-mineral premixes for livestock and pets.

Chemical Industry

Intermediate in Manganese Compound Production: Used in the manufacture of other manganese-based chemicals (e.g., manganese dioxide, manganese carbonate).
Electroplating: Employed as an additive in electroplating baths for depositing manganese coatings.

Battery Industry

Raw Material in Battery Manufacturing: Used in the production of manganese dioxide for dry cell batteries (particularly alkaline and zinc-carbon batteries).

Secondary Uses

Water Treatment

Trace Element Supplementation: Occasionally used in treating drinking or industrial water where manganese is deficient or as part of a micronutrient mix.

Laboratory Applications

Analytical Reagent: Used in lab reagents and tests, including redox titrations and preparation of analytical manganese solutions.

Textile and Dyeing Industry

Catalyst/Modifier: Used in dyeing processes and textile treatments as a mordant or chemical modifier.

Pharmaceuticals and Nutraceuticals

Nutrient Source: May be used in trace amounts in vitamin or mineral formulations, although less common than food-grade alternatives.
